Shame when restaurants rush you out the door and not really giving you enjoy time to sit and relax the food, wine and music! But this reminds me of the time we ventured to one of the oldest pizza restaurants in New York and ordered a pizza so big that I swear one slice was like the size of one average pizza!

So disappointing that you had to rush! Your feelings about the restaurant would definitely have been affected by having to eat in such a hurry … I don’t think I would have enjoyed that no matter how wonderful the food was!

I’ve experienced that sort of behavior in the US but not here. Booking a table for the night was totally new to me but that’s what happened in Albury Wodonga. No rushing, no stress – just all night entertainment and joy with friends or family.

Really doesn’t sound like a pleasant dining experience, alas. Sounds like their whole business is set up to turn tables. Good for them, I guess, but I wonder how many repeat customers they get?

The rushed service is even more off putting knowing the place is expensive Charlie, although I would happily enjoy a few Lamponi’s.
Have a happy day.

Argh I hate being rushed! We used to go to a Thai restaurant as a family and mum and dad always refused to order the main until we had had our entrees. The staff hated it and always argued the fact but otherwise you practically got it all together. How odd that they served the ice-cream like that too. Maybe they wrote the order like it was two separate desserts. Or maybe they thought she wouldn’t want the two flavours to touch?!

I’m sorry you were so rushed, Charlie. It seems in keeping with the idea that walk-ins were welcomed, but then they hoped for a quick turnover. That would really bother me, too, and very disappointing. I would wonder that they’d have a successful return business with that style of service!

How could anyone find that kind of service anything but off-putting? I know that we Americans have a reputation of hurrying through our meals — not this American, mind — but that wait staff needs to be told to slow down a bit. What a shame.
