The Club — Restaurant in Yerevan

My wife recently had a terrible experience at this restaurant that left her shocked and disappointed. She went in excited to enjoy an evening out, but encountered extremely rude behavior from a staff member named Luisa (or at least that's the name she gave, after initially refusing to provide it).

From the start, Luisa was hostile and shouted at my wife for no reason. She rudely pointed to a small table and, when my wife asked to see the rest of the restaurant, Luisa sarcastically questioned if the small table wasn't enough space, with a condescending expression.

Despite my wife's polite demeanor and speaking in English, Luisa abruptly switched to Russian, assuming my wife was Russian without even asking. This assumption and the language switch felt disrespectful and unprofessional.

Kind of place that pretend to be restaurant...

Indeed, the service welcomes you with open arms into The Club. The menu is rotating and seasonal, as the waitress pointed out to me, to ensure freshness of ingredients and locality. Grilled proteins are kissed with flame to get that great smoky charred flavor and adored with sauces and expertly prepared sauces. I also loved their wine and was steered to several excellent reds over the course of my dinner. I was also gifted some dessert, an example of the gracious hospitality of the restaurant. Would...
