Carmen — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

Last night I felt very angry. My friends and I visited this bar last night and had a very disappointing experience. From the noment we sat down, the server pushed an expensive menu that only featured full bottles of wine and whiskey. When we asked about ordering drinks by the glass, they repeatedly insisted that it wasn't an option. was clear they were trying to pressure us into a much more expensive purchase. After a few minutes of back and forth, I had to search Google for Images of their menu to prove that they do, in fact, serve single-cup of drinks. Only then did they reluctantly bring us different menu. The excuse they gave that we had to order a bottle because of our table was completely unbelievable. The whole interaction felt like a deliberate attempt to overcharge us. lt's a shame because the atmosphere seemed nice, but the dishonest service completely ruined the evening. Be cautious if you...

People put contrasting view on this place but they are all correct except that this place is not a scam.

Basically the performance has 2 sets of the different singers and artist. Each set last about 2 hours. The resident band doing the instrumental are good.

Lastly the minus point is the lousy tall stool- uncomfortable to sit. Wooden stool with tiny seat without back rest and it’s has balance issue. If the CG is off you will fall off. End of the night Gives u bad back ache

Overall enjoy the...
