Never to return
Booked a table at what was once our favourite restaurant to celebrate our wedding
anniversary. 2 years ago, we had cause to complain about a rude and discourteous waiter. I have numerous emails apologising and assuring us that he would be taken off front of house duties until he met their high standards. We have been back several times since with no issues. However last night we had the misfortune of being seated by this waiter again. My first annoyance was the fact that instead of going behind me to place my side plate, he just leant straight across me with his arm in my face. He then took our order.my wife ordered her favourite go-to meal but got the words round the wrong way. He belittled her by looking at her and corrected what she was ordering We asked for a green salad but asked that it contains no Rocket as neither of us like it
Our meals were served by lovely staff and were constantly asked if we required further drinks etc, As our mains were served, the salad was put in front of us, full of Rocket, and for the 1st time since taking the order, he was standing behind the waitress. We refused the dish, and it was duly replaced At the end of the meal, the manager asked if everything was OK and I told him it was not. I relayed what had happened and the fact that this same waiter was supposed to have been retrained/ disciplined for the exact same thing from a previous visit, #Rocketgate, only the other time he held a bottle of water against my face when I asked if it was chilled. The manager apologised, but as we were leaving, he attempted to make excuses for his waiter, saying he's not a nasty man it was just his way. I replied if that's his way, then he shouldn't be in this profession, let alone front of house and that we will not be returning. Again the manager Georgio apologised and we left
