Main course was a steak. They didnt ask me how I wanted it and served it very very very well done. No steak knife and I literally couldnt cut it with the normal eating knife. On the side were two inedible onion rings (I didnt try them, you wouldnt have either if youd seen them) and some slightly burned chips. I asked for some sauce with my chips, 5 mins later a plate covered in sachets of sauce was slammed down on my table... the lady at a nearby table asked if she could have some sauce, so the waiter promptly took the plate away from me (before I'd actually taken any sauce of it) and gave it to her.

Table cloth filthy, chairs uncomfortable... staff rude to the point of physical aggression. I really should have refused to pay the bill but after the sauce thing I just left the money on the table and walked out.


sounds to me like you had a rough time.



at least you'll know not to eat there again.

i often wonder how places like that actually still get customers and manage to survive.

shocking

I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you, it's hard to find release and people can be so cold.
