We visited Ravintola Bella Marina in Vuosaari and booked a table for six on June 21, 2025. Our friends later left a review, and instead of simply apologizing, the owner attempted to twist the situation to make us appear at fault and accused us of giving an unfair rating. We chose four Bella Burgers, one Cheese Burger, and one risotto, and all the burgers were served without cheese, which we mentioned in our review. We also mentioned that the restaurant closed two hours earlier (at 8:00 PM) than what was stated when we made the reservation.In response to our review, they stated that they don't have a Cheese Burger on their menu, that we couldn't have ordered a burger from the children's menu, and that they made allowances for us. They also mentioned that the restaurant closed early due to a holiday and that guests are allowed only 90 minutes per visit. There is no Cheese Burger on their menu and that we couldn’t have ordered a burger from the children’s menu.

A restaurant cannot legally refuse to serve items from the children’s menu if they are listed on the menu.
Nowhere—neither on the website nor during booking—was there any mention of a 90-minute time limit per table.
We want to emphasize that we have no complaints about the waitress—she was very kind and professionally handled the situation. However, the owner’s misleading and defensive response significantly damaged our overall impression of...
