I
provided
this
restaurant
the
opportunity
to
respond
to
this
very
disturbing
incident
and
1
week
has
passed
without
a
response.
We
are
regular
customers
of
many
years
and
have
celebrated
lots
of
special
occasions
in
your
restaurant.
We
are
members
of
your
VIP
club.
We
also
supported
your
restaurant
during
lock
down
by
ordering
take
away
to
ensure
the
restaurant
could
continue
post
lock
down.
Last
Saturday
night
(05Feb
22)
we
had
a
reservation
@
5.45pm
for
4
people.
When
I
made
the
reservation,
I
was
told
anytime
between
5.30pm
and
6pm
would
be
okay
and
that
the
restaurant
needed
the
table
back
by
8pm
I
agreed
to
this.
My
husband
and
I
arrived
just
before
6pm
and
our
guests
were
already
seated.
We
were
reminded
at
this
time
that
the
table
is
needed
back
by
8pm.
Again,
we
were
okay
with
this.
We
ordered
our
meals,
service
by
our
waiter
was
quite
attentive
and
our
meals
were
good.
The
main
course
did
take
some
time
to
come
to
the
table,
not
really
a
problem,
but
this
did
take
up
some
of
our
precious
time
at
the
table.
After
our
main
course
we
were
offered
dessert
and
coffee.
We
declined
this
as
we
wanted
to
finish
our
drinks
as
we
were
mindful
of
the
time
and
wanted
to
be
considerate
enough
to
ensure
the
table
would
be
vacated
by
8pm.
After
this
another
waiter
(name
unknown
-
young
male
with
dark
hair)
approached
our
guest
at
7.50pm
and
told
him
it
was
time
to
leave.
We
discussed
this
amongst
ourselves
at
our
table
and
decided
there
was
sufficient
time
to
finish
our
drinks
so
we
could
be
out
by
8pm.
The
waiter
had
spoken
to
our
guest
in
a
very
rude
bordering
on
aggressive
manner.
I
do
not
know
this
waiter
-
I
think
maybe
he
is
new
-
young
male
with
dark
hair.
I
then
raised
this
issue
with
one
of
your
regular
staff
-
Adam,
I
think?
(Duty
manager)
By
this
time
we
were
standing
at
the
counter
-
I
said
to
Adam
I
was
disappointed
to
be
treated
and
spoken
to
in
such
a
rude
manner
and
reminded
him
that
it
was
not
yet
8pm.
He
absolutely
shocked
me
by
responding
aggressively
and
waiving
his
finger
at
me
saying
"You
have
no
reason
to
be
disappointed,
I
told
you
3
times
to
leave"
-
please
understand
it
was
not
yet
8pm.
I
then
shared
with
Adam
that
our
main
course
took
some
time
to
reach
our
table
and
I
am
really
glad
that
we
didn't
order
dessert
and
coffee
and
his
response
was
'So
did
everyone's,
now
leave'
He
then
proceeded
to
chastise
me
about
the
fact
that
my
husband
and
I
arrived
late
for
our
5.45pm
reservation
-
we
arrived
just
before
6pm.
I
am
not
sure
what
the
relevance
of
this
was
but
I
certainly
do
not
appreciate
a
waiter
taking
me
to
task
for
arriving
a
few
minutes
late.
I
pointed
out
the
time
to
Adam?
(still
not
8pm)
and
to
my
shock
he
waived
his
hand
at
me
and
said
"Just
Get
Out!!"
This
was
all
so
unnecessary
as
there
was
never
any
indication
from
us
that
our
table
would
not
be
vacated
by
8pm.
We
agreed
verbally
that
we
would
vacate
the
table
in
time
and
then
made
every
move
to
ensure
this
happened.
Most
importantly
the
staff
should
have
used
alternative
language
when
speaking
to
a
customer,
in
a
crowded
restaurant,
within
hearing
distance
of
other
patrons.
I
have
never
ever
been
treated
or
spoken
to
in
such
an
appalling
manner
by
any
wait
staff
in
any
restaurant
without
any
justification.
This
was
very
embarrassing.
We
will
not
return
to
Templestowe
Living
room
after
many
years
of
loyal
patronage.
I
will
also
caution
anyone
else
to
be
aware
that
this
restaurant
can
treat
their
loyal
customers
in
such
a
disgraceful
way.
At
no
time
did
we
delay
our
departure
from
the
table.
We
were
out
in
the
street
@
7.58pm.
This
behaviour
has
now
cost
this
restaurant
our
patronage.
Adam
and
the
wait
staff
involved
definitely
need
some
training
in
customer
service
when
under
time
constraints.
