I
appreciate
that
WOAP
can
put
a
lot
of
pressure
on
restaurants
but
my
experience
at
Rizzo’s
was
particularly
shambolic.
I
suppose
some
of
the
blame
was
on
me
as
I
didn’t
book
a
table
but
I’ve
generally
found
that
when
I’m
dining
alone
a
booking
isn’t
always
necessary.
Entering
the
front
door,
it
wasn’t
clear
what
the
seating
policy
was
-
there
was
no
Wait
to
be
seated
sign
so
I
approached
the
POS
station
by
the
kitchen
and
asked
for
a
table
for
one.
The
staff
explained
that
they
were
fully
booked
inside
so
there
was
only
outside
seating
available,
which
was
fine
by
me
despite
the
chilly
temperature
and
the
lack
of
any
type
of
heating.
There
was
just
one
wobbly
table
by
the
toilets
-
not
the
most
appealing
dining
location
but
I’ll
take
it
over
nothing.
The
wait
staff
informed
me
(twice)
that
there
would
be
a
45min
to
hour
wait
for
food
-
again,
fine
by
me.
I
paid
for
the
WOAP
Phoenix
burger
and
settled
in
for
the
wait.
Surprisingly,
my
burger
came
out
in
about
five
minutes.
I
think
the
staff
were
surprised
as
well
as
there
was
no
cutlery
on
the
table.
Cutting
into
the
burger
I
suspect
that
this
plate
was
left
over
from
a
previous
order
-
the
chicken
was
barely
warm
and
the
bottom
bun
was
soggy
with
juices
from
the
salsa.
The
cheese
had
solidified
into
a
chewy
mess.
The
anemic
“smashed”
“roast”
potatoes
tasted
like
standard
boiled
potatoes
smothered
in
ash.
Thankfully
I
was
ignored
by
the
staff
after
receiving
my
tardy
cutlery
so
I
didn’t
have
to
give
a
fake
answer
to
the
standard
“how
is
everything?”
question.
Everything
was
not
good,
not
good
at
all.
To
add
insult
to
injury,
from
my
cold
outside
table
I
had
a
clear
view
of
an
inside
table
for
two
that
remained
empty
throughout
my
entire
dining
time.
Needless
to
say,
this
was
the
worst
experience
I’ve
had
during
the
2022
WOAP
season.
