I have never been so insulted at a restaurant in my life…read more
First, this place is in Rusafa, land of the tourist. We were in the area and decided to stop in. We stopped by this place for a dessert after an early dinner at another restaurant at 9:15PM (not too early, thanks!). Second, my Spanish is perfectly adequate, thank you, and the waiter made a big deal of interrupting me to say that he could speak English. He asked if we had reservations for this EMPTY restaurant, and then made a big show of "finding" us a table.
Frankly, at this point, we should have walked out. But it gets worse. Sigh.
When we told him we just wanted dessert instead of a meal, he was visibly irritated, and ACTUALLY SAID, "Well, you ARE foreigners and I guess you don't know any better."
We should have walked out then. But we were so shocked by his behavior that we went through with the dance. Our crepes, served with a side of "foreigner disdain" were overpriced, and nothing special. We should have trusted our instincts and walked right on out.
Future patrons, beware: This is NOT where you want to spend your money.
