I promise I do not take bad reviews lightly. I can't stand when someone has a whatever experience and bashes the restaurant.
My wife and I were looking around the square of where to eat. We saw the reviews and said let's grab some beverages and tapas. We went up to the server, they asked how many we said 2, and they brought us inside. They asked if inside was fine, no problem.
As soon as we step in the place the server does 3 spins and starts saying like oh I don't know. Ummm. I have to see where to sit you.
The place is at about 20% capacity and many open tables. But! I get it there are reservations. We told the server, whatever works best. Eventually they put us in a corner table right by the door. No issue from us. But there was the feeling of being totally unwelcome. Maybe because I am an obvious American. And honestly that's ok but it just kept getting worse and worse.
They ask our drink order, I order mine fine; my wife starts saying her order and they just walk away. And all the while we are getting stares and mean looks. My wife and I just start laughing like ok.
Drinks come we order my wife's drink, and now onto food. We ordered the cheese plate and then the server just walked away from us to another part of the restaurant. We re bewildered. I am like asking my wife to smell me, like what is going on. And still all the while the server has so much attitude and like total hostility towards us.
The server comes back. Says "cheese plate" in a crazy tone.
Honestly, the service industry is not easy, dealing with people and tourists everyday isn't easy, so my wife and I just called it there. The cheese plate only and we were going to be in our way. During this time there is an empty third seat at our table. The server ripped it off the floor and brought it to another table. Honestly bewildering. I am still contemplating if my doppelgänger lives here and did something horrible to this restaurant.
The cheese plate was amazing. Special shout out to the black cherries they had on there. It was really such a shame because the food looked so good.
Ok so I ask for the bill. The snarl I received was wild. They ended up throwing the bill and dish down on the table with a crazy and rude - "gracias."
I don't want to put out names. I'm hoping that this place is always pleasant and the food is awesome. I just don't know what I did to them.
3 stars cause the cheese plate was that good and made me extrapolate how amazing the tapas would be. read more
