Having
had
a
good
experience
eating
here
in
the
past
we
specifically
chose
the
hotel
just
across
the
street
to
stay
in
prior
to
crossing
the
channel
the
next
day.
Making
it
a
type
of
dinner
bed
and
breakfast.
We
entered
the
restaurant
and
were
quickly
met
by
a
member
of
the
staff
and
asked
for
a
table
for
two.
We
were
ushered
to
a
table
just
inside
the
door
and
as
it
was
a
cold
wet
night
asked
for
a
different
table.
Had
it
not
been
for
another
member
of
staff
(a
manager
possibly)
we
would
have
been
given
no
choice.
We
were
given
a
booth
and
menus
and
sat
down.
I
was
not
comfortable
in
the
cramped
booth
and
moved
over
one
table
to
a
table
with
movable
seats.
I
have
a
knee
injury
and
can’t
sit
comfortably
without
stretching
my
leg.
Neither
my
wife
or
I
touched
the
table
in
the
booth
but
the
first
member
of
staff
we
had
met
made
a
show
of
cleaning
the
table
TWICE!
We
picked
what
we
wanted
to
eat
and
drink
and
waited
to
be
served.
The
serving
staff
made
a
show
of
speaking
with
the
bar
staff
while
looking
and
pointing
at
us.
This
began
to
feel
intimidating
and
somewhat
humiliating.
The
first
member
of
staff
seemed
to
have
a
massive
problem
with
our
lack
of
French.
I
speak
3
languages
but
not
French.
But
who
needs
to
speak
the
native
language
in
a
restaurant?
I
have
travelled
all
over
the
world
and
never
failed
to
order
food.
It
started
to
feel
a
little
racially
motivated.
People
all
around
us
were
being
served
but
not
us.
The
other
customers
around
us
were
now
paying
us
a
great
deal
of
attention
clearly
picking
up
on
what
the
staff
were
doing.
After
15
minutes
of
sitting
waiting,
with
members
of
the
bar
staff
and
serving
staff
clearly
talking
about
us
and
pointing
at
us
the
first
member
of
staff
came
close
enough
for
us
to
ask
for
a
drink
and
to
order
food.
She
said
2
minutes
and
walked
off.
After
another
few
minutes
she
came
back
and
said
that
the
section
of
the
restaurant
we
were
sitting
in
was
now
closed
and
she
pointed
at
the
original
small
table
just
inside
the
door.
I
and
my
wife
now
felt
totally
humiliated
and
embarrassed.
I
now
strongly
felt
that
she
was
acting
in
a
racially
motivated
manner.
I
am
a
financial
director
of
a
company
that
runs
a
hotel
with
a
bar
and
restaurant.
I
would
terminate
the
employment
of
any
of
our
staff
if
I
found
out
that
they
had
treated
any
customers
in
any
part
of
our
business
in
such
a
disgusting
manner.
I
sincerely
hope
that
you
look
into
this
matter
and
deal
with
it
accordingly.
You
will
see
from
my
profile
that
I
tend
not
to
leave
poor
reviews
as
I
am
acutely
aware
of
how
difficult
it
is
to
make
a
business
profitable
in
the
current
economic
climate
but
can
not
let
this
pass.
Ironically
the
service
in
the
Mac
Donald’s
next
door
was
excellent.
