Well, the food was great, too bad we had to eat in the basement.
A few weeks ago I made reservation to sit on the deck to celebrate our friend graduating from Social WorK School. The day of the dinner I called to confirm. I spoke with the person who answers the phone number listed on the website, the owner. He said everything was okay. 10 minutes later, I receive a call from Marco the manager saying they made a mistake and are cancelling our reservation due to the fact that they just booked a huge jewish singles event. I am now in panic mood. I call our friend Marg. She is the reason why we picked this place, she is kosher. The owner tells her that we can eat on the balcony and the food will be free, Marco calls me back and confirms that the balcony is ours, but we can also eat in the snooker room in the basement.
As people start to arrive, Marco suggests that it would be better for all if our party remains in the basement. Le t us be very clear. This was not a misunderstanding. Misunderstandings do not end with, Thank you for being such a good sport, if you need anything from down there, you just text me and we will send Jessie the waitress to you. Jessie, by the way was fantastic.
I would say normally when I am asked by a manager to eat my meal in the basement and stay hidden, I would leave. But there is no normally here. This was the first time. However, we all agreed that for the free food, we would allow the humiliation and remain hidden in the basement.
And then the check came.... Any guesses?
Food was on it.
We called the owner who after some time told the manager to remove some of the food.
We paid the bill, left a good tip for Jessie but would you want to eat at this place?
Would you want to be told the food is free and then have to pay?
Would you want to have to eat if you were told to be a good sport and stay out of site?
