I had originally notified the restaurant when making the reservation that we wanted a table with a nice view because we were celebrating my boyfriend's birthday. However, on the day of the reservation, it rained, and the restaurant informed us that we couldn't sit outdoors and would be arranged for an indoor table. I understood that, but they assigned us a table inside with not much of a view. After noticing several tables were already settling their bills, It took several negotiations before we could finally get a table by the window.
Additionally, after making the reservation, the restaurant informed us that men were required to dress appropriately, meaning no tank tops or flip-flops. I reminded my boyfriend to dress suitably for the occasion, but then a tour group arrived, and several of the men were wearing tank tops, sports shorts, and rubber shoes. I was a bit surprised. The atmosphere suddenly became noisy as they communicated loudly with their tour leader, which ruined the ambiance. When the rain stopped, we noticed that this tour group had moved outdoors. My boyfriend quickly asked to be moved outside as well, but we still ended up sitting near them. The scenery was beautiful, but they were very loud and disruptive, which completely took away the romantic atmosphere, making it feel more like a food court. We decided to sit a little longer before settling the bill and leaving.
I was a bit surprised, as it felt like we had gone to a restaurant that caters to tour groups.
