We ate at Big Ben while visiting Jesolo. I was not impressed. The staff are very rude. We were very thirsty after being at the beach all day. We asked if we could order drinks while we looked at the menu. We were told we had to order everything at once. What?! I've never experienced this in my life that you cannot order drinks and then order food when you're ready!

Drinks took 15 minutes (on a very warm day), first two got their burgers after 40 minutes, my tuna (well cooked) and three pasta came after another 15, and after yet another 15 minutes came the meat dishes. This was while the place was half full. The waiter never came over more than first order so when my beer was empty, I had to drink water. Did not stay for dessert, well, we were never asked if we wanted any desserts either. Sorry, improve sync and service and it's a...
