"The food we received tonight was nothing to rave about. It was a rushed meal which fell completely short of our expectations. It was my brothers graduation to which we had booked a table of five. My Mum had tested positive yesterday and unfortunately could...not attend. My mother is a nurse who has worked endlessly throughout the pandemic. As if it was not bad enough my mum not being able to attend a huge occasion and having to FaceTime us whilst crying to see what the restaurant and food was like, when we came to pay the bill they at first the waiter did not take off our deposit. We then asked for the deposit to be taken off to which they only removed as my mum did not attend. This is absolutely disgraceful behaviour. When we arrived there were around tables in the restaurant empty and the whole bar area empty. We did not make you lose custom we did not take a seat away from another table nor was it a weekend evening, which if it was we would understand. It is a Tuesday with plenty of tables available. When it was raised that we were not happy we were told that it was the rules. I pointed out that the restaurant was empty and that it was appalling. These ‘rules’ were never communicated with ourselves nor were they in writing. Considering the situation right now, this should be highlighted! We would not have attended if this was the case considering three of us work for the health board! It ruined our evening and ruined our day. We had spent over with you and you could not honour our I am still in shock of the absolute disgraceful behaviour I have witnessed tonight. I would completely understand if we had massively reduced in number, if the restaurant was busy and we had taken away earnings, but this was not the case. Disgraceful behaviour. For the sake of you ruined a very special day."
