Six Cocktail Bar — Restaurant in Gauteng

I visited Friday evening as it was recommended by a friend I was warned to eat elsewhere and go for drinks but I decided to have the full experience. We got a table and server came to the table we placed our order and waited a while for the food the cutlery was placed on the table it was wet a sign that it was just rinsed under a running tap and not properly washed with soap and hot water. There was one filthy pepper shaker and no salt. This was already a sign of what was to come. My friend ordered prawns and calamari while I ordered oxtail cooked in red wine.

The food arrived on the table cold and my plate was dirty I brought this to the managers attention who apologised and took it back. Second time around the food was warm as it should be I was served the most confusing plate of oxtail I’ve ever seen 3 pieces of oxtail swimming in the blandest gravy. a lot of capsicum and raw butternut this was supposed to be the roast veg accompaniment. At this point it was too much we asked for the bill as I couldn’t even go half way through the beyond mediocre meal I was served. Waiting for the bill was another extreme sport I walked across the street to buy a hot dog as I waited for the bill. A huge emphasis was made on tipping for what I don’t know exactly because everything was just below 0. I am in the industry and I can tell you now this place needs management prim and proper management as it is now the owner sees numbers but it’s definitely not for service or the product I waited for the manager who I told and showed her the raw butternut on my plate I paid my bill and tipped the waiter. Just to show that I was not here for a free meal but I was not leaving without sharing my feedback the manager gave me a smug response after I told her no red wine went into that dish. She so arrogantly said we use a cab/sav which is nonsense maybe it would have worked on the students who frequent the...

Truly awful service.

We were a table of 22, and while it’s understandable that we would be split across a few waiters, what made no sense was how strictly they enforced those divisions. All the tables were placed directly next to each other—side by side, not spaced out—and yet we were told we couldn’t interact across tables because each one had a different waiter. At one point, I was seated between two of the tables, and when I tried to rest my drink on the adjacent table (literally 10 cm away), the waiter told me I couldn’t and needed to move it. It was completely unreasonable given the physical layout.

Secondly, we were told they only had cocktails, no beer or whiskey—which turned out to be false. They did have both, but for some reason, we were misled.

Thirdly, when I went to the bar to see the beer selection for myself, I was told I wasn’t allowed to be there because I “had a waiter” and should go back to my seat. This felt unnecessarily controlling.

Finally, while paying the bill, our waiter made a wildly inappropriate comment: “You don’t see a lot of white people in Melville anymore.” I was shocked and honestly at a loss for words.

Overall, the experience was disjointed, restrictive, and uncomfortable—definitely not what you’d expect when dining out with a...

So we went to Six on 24/07/21 and got the most terrible service ever. If I could give 0 as a rating it would still be too much. We got there stood outside for a while before someone came to get us a table. So the lady comes shows us a table and leaves us for about 30mins without coming back to get our order. Mind you there was less than 6 tables occupied. I asked to see a Manger who comes minutes later to offer a half baked apology, then promises to personally ensure our experience improves from then onwards. Both these ladies didn't bother introducing themselves (the waitress and the manager) otherwise I would name and shame. So eventually the food comes and it's nothing to write home about. The Eton mess was a disaster, the was no promised fruit on the menu but fruit cocktail from the tin🙄. After asking for the bill we waited a further 15mins for the waitress to come back, we eventually go look for her.. We found her chatting and giggling loadly with THE MANAGER at the bar. Did I mention it was as good as empty during this whole time? Needless to say I am never setting my foot there again. I feel sorry for the owner, the staff is not doing justice...
