Utterly
Disappointing
Experience.
As
Ireland
reopens
from
the
lockdown,
I
booked
a
table
for
2,
approximately
10
days
before
any
bars
and
restaurants
were
allowed
to
open.
I
paid
25€
to
book
a
little
table
for
2
for
dining
(it
will
be
refunded
either
from
a
direct
deduction
on
the
bill
or
refund
via
PayPal).
When
we
arrived
at
the
restaurant,
we
were
asked
to
sit
at
the
bar,
but
we
refused
because
we
booked
way
ahead
of
time
to
have
a
table
as
we
planned
to
have
dinner
there,
so
eventually
we
were
given
a
table
(the
place
was
still
rather
empty).
So
that
was
a
bit
of
an
episode
to
start
with.
We
then
ordered
dinner,
I
ordered
a
medium
rare
steak,
but
it
came
well
done.
Fine,
it's
a
bar,
not
a
steak
house,
so
I
tried
to
enjoy
it.
That
said,
the
waiting
service
was
pretty
good,
quite
attentive
throughout.
In
the
end
we
asked
for
our
bill,
and
paid
100€
for
2
(we
have
a
few
beers
each
and
a
main
dish),
but
on
the
bill
we
didn't
get
the
refund
back
on
the
spot,
asked
for
it,
but
the
restaurant
opted
for
PayPal,
I
was
alright
with
it
as
I
trust
the
restaurant
to
refund
it
back
soon.
As
soon
as
I've
paid
the
100€
bill,
literally
in
a
few
seconds
later
as
we
were
putting
on
our
jackets,
getting
ready
to
head
home,
one
of
the
staff
came
to
us
and
said
"you
have
been
staying
at
this
table
for
a
long
time
and
we
need
the
table
back
so
would
be
great
if
you
can
vacate
it
asap"....
For
me
this
is
a
hard
NO-GO.
You
don't
chase
your
paying
customers
out
immediately
after
they
just
paid
(or
in
general,
don't
chase
them
out!).
It
is
not
like
we
only
had
a
beer
and
stayed
for
hours,
we
spent
quite
a
bit
for
a
table
of
2!
We
thought
we
had
a
good
time
in
there,
up
until
the
last
second,
and
we
left
the
place
with
a
bitter
taste
and
it
really
didn't
feel
good
at
all.
Unfortunately,
we
don't
think
we
will
ever
return.
It's
a
shame
as
we
live
nearby
in
the
neighborhood.
Very
disappointed.
Especially
this
was
the
first
time
we
were
back
in
a
bar/restaurant
after
a
long
lockdown.
