I hate to write bad reviews about places, but this incident really disappointed us, big time. Last Sunday night, my friend and I went to the restaurant, expecting a good night as the reviews mentioned they had a good night life in Mirissa. So, once we came to the restaurant, we ordered a few cocktails, and when my friend went to pay for the bill, the two men that were standing at the entrance to the cashier stopped my friend and started questioning him. Not to mention, we are both locals and we expect to be treated fairly the same as the foreigners. So, the two men started saying that this was a private party and they expected a 3000 LKR entrance fee for men, and ladies could walk in free. We were trying to convince them that our only intention was to pay now, not to enter the party whatsoever. But they kept on questioning my friend too much, to the point where I got super frustrated! One is because the waiter himself only told us to go to the cashier to pay for our drinks and grab them, but these two guys didn't seem to get the point. Somehow, after so much explaining, me and my friend were able to make it to the cashier, pay for our drinks, and head to the beach to enjoy our drinks. After a few minutes, we wanted to do tequila shots, and we had to take ONE OF THE WAITERS along with us to assure these two men:). Then comes the best part. We were, of course, enjoying the ambience, the atmosphere, and the vibe, but what really threw us off was the fact that these two men allowed almost every foreign guy to enter the party without paying a cent, whereas whenever a local had to enter, they started blocking (????). What a joke. If they wanted the locals to pay 3000 LKR, they should have mentioned it on their instagram or something, rather than ask too many questions in front of the crowd. It was super infuriating as a LOCAL to see this from a LOCAL PLACE. Just saying, we were willing to pay 3K and enjoy our night without a second thought IF ONLY they hadn't treated us this way. We even had lunch at this place, and the food was good, but if they treated the locals this way, I am sure none of the locals would want to come to Salt Mirissa. We would never come here again. Treat fair :)).
