Myself and a group of 8 Friends visited vine Restaurant on Sunday 12/04/2009, we had no reservation made with the restaurant were delighted when they could accommodate us.
However I can honestly say it was the worst experience I have ever encountered in the Hospitality Industry. Our waiter was rude and abrupt when ordering. Having taken our order at 9PM by 10PM we had still not been served our food the waiter did not make any attempt to apologise for the delay or to refill our empty jug of water. One of our group approached the waiter who was on the phone he turned his back and ignored him after a few minutes he came to the table and informed the member of the group that if he did not want to wait he could f* off & go somewhere else.
Needless to say after that treatment we did not stay to experience the food. A main course was priced at approx €20.50 excluding any side orders of Chips, Rice etc which was extra. I have been to this restaurant before and I can admit that the food is lovely but not worth that price which has increased by approx €5 per dish since last year. They have failed to recognise the word recession and service!!!! read more
