I wanted to treat my friend to a lovely dinner for her birthday. We met before 6pm at the bar.
The very same day at 11am I called the restaurant to make a reservation for two.
I was on the phone with some female for a long 5 minutes spelling few times my name (my last name has only 7 letters) and requesting specific sitting area (quiet table so we could talk).
For some reason this entire experience on the phone made me exhausted and after hanging up I was glad it was over and at the same time I was happy that this person on the other end finally got it.
When was time for our dinner I went to the hostess and told her that we are ready for our dinner. I gave her my name and in respond, few seconds later she told me that I do not have a reservation.!!!! They do not have my name on the reservation list!
Go figure!
Just because we had not enough time that evening to go some place else, we end up having dinner in this restaurant and our meals were very good.
But I will never go back!!!!!
One more thing. I also wish that the bartender serving us before dinner was warmer.
