Crying Child At a Romantic Dinner?
Was I wrong or did I miss something???
"The Nest" is a 4 star restaurant nestled in the romantic Saddleback Inn, Lake Arrowhead, CA. After waiting 20 minutes past our scheduled reservation, we were seated at a quiet booth that was available the entire time. Soon (8:15pm)a family of 4 with a tired 2 year old crying to go home was seated behind us. After 10 minutes of non-stop crying, we spoke with a waitress about the disturbance caused by the child. The ownercame by our table and refused to speak to the family and told us we could be moved to a louder part of the restaurant if we didn't like the noise from the child. Since the romance for the evening was ruined, we decided to move. I was too upset to accept any compensation offered, but still shocked that on my $86 tab they charged me a $10 corkage fee on my bottle of wine. The food and service is worthy of 5 stars, but owner is a horrible manager and will sacrifice your romantic evening at the expense of a crying child. I left a note on the receipt to the waiter that due to the actions of the owner he would not be receiving a tip. I also commended him and the chef on their service. While I think I should have walked out, my wife was looking forward too much to her Duck breast with a Lobster Tail. By that point McDonalds was good enough for me. I am curious as too your comments. |
