Disappointing and rushed dining experience
I had a dinner booking at Maresco yesterday, from 18:00 to 20:00. The food quality was only fair and not as authentic as Spanish tapas, with small portion sizes. However, the main issue was the service.
Throughout our meal, the staff made us feel incredibly rushed. A staff member came to collect our plates while we were still eating, with several bites left on the dishes. After we explained that we were still enjoying our food and conversation, he returned about 15 minutes later to ask again. This made us feel pressured to finish quickly and ruined the relaxed atmosphere we were hoping for.
The same pushy approach continued after our desserts. The staff member came to our table and asked us to pay, which I understood was because our two-hour booking slot was nearing its end. However, I was surprised by this unnecessary rush as I couldn't see any queue outside the restaurant, and it didn't seem particularly busy. The staff's behavior was rude and significantly detracted from our dining experience. I would not recommend this restaurant.
