This was probably my wife and I’s absolute worst experience at any restaurant ever. Before we arrived at this restaurant, we had bought some Jaffa Cakes from a local grocery store (we are from the United States, and I was very eager to try this British snack). After we sat down at our table, I pulled out a Jaffa Cake and ate it. I could see in the corner of my eye our waiter (he was a tall male) throw his hands up as he was approaching our table. He then told me to put away the snack, which I politely did and apologized.

Throughout our entire dinner experience after this occurrence, he only came to our table one more time to give us our food. Other waitresses had to serve and check on us. After my wife and I finished our meal, we waited about 15 minutes for our check. We could both see the same waiter serving other tables and hanging out at the bar talking to his co-workers, yet he never came back to our table. He even made eye contact with us a few times. After waiting so long, I finally decided to approach the bar and asked another employee if I could go ahead and pay our check. Our waiter was at the bar when I paid, and he refused to make eye contact with me as he continued talking to his co-workers.

When I got back to our table, I booked our taxi back to our Airbnb. While we waited, I decided to take out my Jaffa Cakes and eat them, which FINALLY got the waiter’s attention as he made eye contact with me from the bar. He shook his head and approached our table after ignoring us for most of our dinner experience, and he again told me to put it away. I was taking my time in finishing the Jaffa Cake I was eating, and he yelled at me saying, “Seriously? Put that away!” in front of other customers around our table.

After I initially ate my Jaffa Cake when we first arrived to the restaurant, I never took it out again until I was fed up with our waiter’s behavior — which was very inappropriate. My wife and I never could get the waiter’s attention to serve us until I took out the Jaffa Cakes again. I tried to be as polite as I could. I even said “thank you” to the waiter as me and my wife left the restaurant.

I do not recommend eating at this restaurant to anyone. Our waiter’s inappropriate behavior ruined our dinner experience and the rest of our night. Also, the food was only okay. My wife and I were very eager to try this restaurant as it is not always easy to find vegetarian/vegan restaurants in many places (my wife is vegan).
