I am writing to express my profound dissatisfaction with a recent visit to the TopGolf Baltimore location on Sunday, July 21st. Four of us, all mothers with children under three years of age, had painstakingly arranged childcare for our first-ever visit to TopGolf, selecting your Baltimore establishment for its convenient central location. Regrettably, our experience was marred by a series of concerning issues, primarily stemming from the service we received and what appear to be egregious pricing discrepancies.
Upon ordering, I requested two 9 oz pours of Studio by Miraval Rosé. The price for this item was notably absent from the menu. Given that a full bottle of Studio by Miraval Rosé typically retails for approximately $17, I was shocked to find that I was charged $19.49 per glass, totaling $38.98. This represents an exorbitant markup, bordering on 1000% per glass, which is unconscionable. Had this price been transparently displayed, I would never have placed the order.
Furthermore, our food order was mishandled. I initially attempted to order the "Nacho Average Nachos" without protein, only to be informed by our waitress that they were unavailable. Consequently, I requested an order of wings. However, five minutes later, the waitress returned to inform us that nachos were, in fact, available. When the "Nacho Average Nachos" arrived, despite my explicit request for no protein, they contained a pork-like meat (which was listed as "Steak" on our receipt). This not only went against my dietary preference but also led to further confusion regarding the menu item. Additionally, the appetizer portion of steak nachos we shared amongst the four of us was priced at $15 for a mere eight nachos, equating to nearly $2 per nacho, which I find to be an inappropriate and excessive charge for such a small serving. My individual meal, based on the quantity and quality, should not have exceeded $10.79.
Beyond the pricing and food order errors, the overall service was severely lacking. Despite the 92-degree Fahrenheit weather and the presence of outdoor fans, our waitress failed to offer or provide water refills throughout our visit, nor did she check in on our table beyond delivering initial food and drinks. We were repeatedly forced to solicit assistance from other random servers for basic necessities, such as napkins.
Given the cumulative nature of these issues--the deceptive pricing, the incorrect food order, and the inattentive service--we have collectively decided that we will not be returning to any TopGolf location in the future. We had anticipated a pleasant and enjoyable outing, and instead, we were met with significant frustration and disappointment. read more
