We went to this restaurant tonight as we were staying nearby. When we arrived it was quite full, but as it is a tiny place that weren't many people. It was very nice. Attentive waitresses who were a real help in choosing the menu. About 20 mins later a group of 9 or 10 arrived. The 3 women at one end and the 6 men at the other. Almost immediately they started to engage in conversation so loud that my husband and I could no longer hear each other speak. The noise got louder and louder. In the end it became so unbearable we left without finishing our food.
We pointed out that the behaviour of this group had spoilt the evening to be met with more aggression and harassment. Though to be fair one member of the group was emollient. His friends were less so.

That is a 33% increase and would definitely have affected my choice if I had known. Even if I had known the price, I might have been ok with it, who knows. But just as money is important to them, it's important to me. I went from wanting to eat there every other day, to feeling deceived. Check your...
