The waitress initially was firm but reasonable when I made the booking. I had counter offered to get takeaway, to which the ten o’clock table suddenly became an option. Anyway…. We came back before 10 to a pretty empty restaurant bar one couple still eating dessert. I asked with enthusiasm whether one of the other tables was ours. “No. You have that table when the couple leave.” At which point all the staff were huffing and puffing faced with serving my partner and me. They made us feel so unwelcome. They didn’t offer us a drink while we wait. Or make any effort to keep us happy while the clock ticked closer to 10pm. So we left. If I have to beg for a table at your restaurant you don’t deserve my money. The waitress ran after us down the street shouting … “are you coming back?” No thanks!
