Really disappointed with this restaurant last night. Having asked about the Government 'Eat Out and Help' scheme when booking the restaurant, we were told that they were participating. When we arrived we were shown to our table and told that there was no 'paper' menu because of COVID-19 and we had to use a mobile phone scanner to look at a menu. This is the first restaurant we’ve used that has not provided any form of paper copy for that reason. Fortunately one our party did have such a facility on their ‘phone and then had to read out the menu to the whole party. Being on a small device and because of the print size this wasn't an easy option. However we all managed to make our choices and order. We also enquired if they had Sauvignon Blanc wine to which was replied 'yes' but without referring us to the Wine List which, again, needed scanning. Having had our order taken, we were then informed that we had to pay cash or bank transfer for our meal as the card reader wasn't working. Having finished our meal and got the bill, we noticed that no E O & H discount had been applied and so queried it. We were then presented with another bill that had INCREASED by £40! When we challenged it, we were then informed that the increase was because they had missed items off of the first bill also they were not in the Government scheme and were adamant that we were NOT told they were. Their whole attitude was unsympathetic and made no attempt to entice us back again. Shame really because the food was very pleasant but their demeanor appalling. We will not...
Read moreI odered a takeaway based on the Google reviews as we are staying locally for a few days. We were told when we ordered that it would be 30-40min wait as they were very busy. For a Tuesday night we thought this sounded promising. We arrived at 40mins to collect our order but was told it wasn't ready. Waited a further 15mins in the restaurant before it was ready. Although they did apologise for the wait it was a bit frustrating. Got back to our accommodation to eat our meal, which was utterly tasteless. We were so disappointed. The Pad Thai had no flavour at all and was extremely bland. The Aromatic Duck starter was cold, and very fatty with hardly any decent meat. We also had a beef salad which had a very weird off smell that made it uneatable. For what we paid, which was almost £40, I would not recommend eating here. I've seen it's under new management so perhaps these positive google reviews were posted before then. Anyway avoid and...
Read moreWe stayed at Hayling Island with friends, whilst visiting the nearby Goodwood Revival at Chichester. We hadn’t had Thai food for a while and having read reviews, Agaligo seemed ideal. We went on Saturday 17th September and on arrival it was very busy, which could only be a good sign. We had shared mixed starters plus mains for each of the 4 in our group. Without exception, every item of food was delicious and the service was excellent. We had a bottle of white wine for the two ladies and a bottle of red for the two gents, plus a bottle of Singha beer to whet our appetite. Every thing was thoroughly enjoyable and we liked it so much we booked again for the following evening. We would all recommend this restaurant to all and will no doubt re-visit if in...
