29/06/2026: Have been going to this restaurant four or five times a year for over a decade. It’s an old chestnut for my family but just had a pretty mediocre experience. The restaurant was pretty empty but it took a while for the waiter to serve us. Our table had smears and marks from the previous service and rather than wipe it with a cloth and put a tablecloth on it as was the case with all the other tables, the waiter who came to take our order, saw the table was dirty and wiped it off with the palm of his hand – that set the tone for the service for the rest of evening. Not sure what we did to elicit this off-hand manner but this old chestnut is now burned. I have been going to this restaurant four or five times a year for over ten years – it is a real institution for my family – but I have just had a rather mediocre experience there. The restaurant was quite empty, yet the waiter took a while to attend to us. Our table still bore traces and dirt from the previous service; Instead of wiping it down with a cloth and putting on a tablecloth like all the other tables, the waiter who came to take our order noticed it was dirty and simply wiped it with the palm of his hand. That set the tone for the rest of the evening. I don't know what could have prompted such carelessness, but this favorite spot is now ruined.
