Offensive service and not something I experienced elsewhere at other restaurants in Yerevan. Service was a bit of a mess and no clear organization. I was a walk-in and was told I’d have to wait for them to check if there was a table available. 15 minutes later I was told there was a table for me upstairs. I was expecting to follow the host up but awkwardly saw she was not moving so I assumed I had to walk upstairs myself without any guidance.

A second person upstairs then led me to my table. I tried to order with one guy then another girl came to the table and I had to repeat my order again. I had tried to order a main course but was told it’d be too big for one person. I was a bit confused and the waitress rudely told me to look at the menu again and choose something else. I tried to ask her what main courses could be for one person but she told me she could not. With attitude, she told me I could order what I wanted but I wouldn’t be able to finish it. I asked again if she could point out the things that were family size but I am not sure if she did not understand or what. She told me that I should look at the menu by myself and that she’d come back later to tell me if I could or could not order something for one person.

I then asked to speak to someone else who had better English to explain to me the situation. Another waiter comes and nicely explains to me what she was trying to say. Great! Except then he asks me where I’m from. I say America but then he asks for my ethnicity. When I say again I’m from America, he again prompts me for my ethnicity. “Korea? Japan?” He says. Again, not something I regularly experienced while in Yerevan.

The soup I ordered came lukewarm and almost cold. The pumpkin dish I was suggested was relatively good - but difficult to appreciate after being a bit traumatized by the service.
