Bizzare
experience.
First;
Food
(octopus
&
tuna
steak)
was
excellent,
recommend
wine
great,
food
arrived
quickly
and
our
server
was
super
friendly
and
attentive.
The
lack
of
a
drinks
menu
is
a
major
minus,
especially
as
the
restaurant
seems
to
stock
some
nice
things.
Now
to
the
weird
part;
My
wife
and
myself
arrived
and
was
told
they
did
not
take
reservations
(we
had
planned
to
go
to
the
beach
before
dinner
and
eat
whenever
we
could
get
a
booking)
and
that
the
expected
wait
was
over
an
hour,
this
despite
over
half
of
the
tables
were
empty
(50-60
empty
seats
on
~8-10
empty
tables
inside
and
out).
Ok,
no
problems,
we
stand
in
line
while
evaluating
our
options.
As
people
in
line
notice
that
no-one
is
getting
seated,
the
two
groups
in
front
of
us
get
annoyed
and
leave,
having
already
waited
for
quite
some
time.
(~8ppl
in
total)
After
a
while
we
again
asked
if
we
possibly
could
have
one
of
the
empty,
clean
tables,
(maybe
we
missunderstood
something?
(we
do
not
speak
Lithuanian)),
and
this
time
get
a
yes
(~10-15min
after
being
told
to
expect
a
1h+
wait)
The
only
foodmenu
is
printed
on
a
surfboard
at
the
entrance
and
our
waiter
is
eager
to
get
food
orders
in
quickly
before
drinks.
(Fair,
maybe
he
knows
kitchen
is
slow
and
want
to
work
around
it?)
We
are
then
told
there
is
no
drinks
menu,
but
are
recommended
a
vino
verde
that
turns
out
great.
Strange,
as
this
process
slows
down
the
ordering
process,
as
well
as
decreases
sales?
After
a
little
wait
both
food
and
wine
appears,
food
surprisingly
quickly.
The
whole
meal
is
well
presented,
taste
great
and
we
order
more
drinks
and
enjoy
the
sunset.
Our
entire
meal
wait
staff
strolls
around
at
a
leisurely
pace,
while
the
line
outside
grows
and
shrinks
as
people
give
up
and
new
arrive
to
que,
meanwhile
the
restaurant
remains
under
50%
full,
sometimes
almost
empty,
and
still,
almost
no-one
is
getting
seated??
The
situation
is
so
bizzare
that
most
patrons
seated
look
around
confused,
trying
to
make
sense
of
the
now
outright
comical
situation.
At
the
very
end
of
our
~3h
visit
two
larger
groups
with
apparent
reservations
arrived,
potentially
explaining
some
of
the
empty
seats,
but
not
nearly
enough
to
explain
the
several
hours
of
so
many
empty
chairs
and
disgruntled
potential
clients.
All
in
all,
we
saw
A
LOT
of
very
annoyed
people,
but
our
own
visit
was
super,
if
only
very
puzzling.
