As I recall (as the owner of said restaurant) when the booking was made no time was confirmed or determined. The staff member who took the booking said she would appreciate a confirmation of both TIME and NUMBER of guests a week before the booked date. Because his was not done by the time there was one week to go so the same staff member called the name under which the booking was made for confirmation. During that phone call the staff member requested that perhaps the party could come in later in the day (because NO time had yet been confirmed)as Saturday noon is a very busy time for lunch and brunch diners and not the best time for a large coffee and cake booking. We have done this in the past without complaint (the customers get more attention as the waitstaff has fewer other dining customers). The woman with whom the staff member spoke was ESPECIALLY rude and told her that invitations had already been sent. How does one send out invitations to an event without a set time or was the time just assumed? Also, there were not 18 people in the booking, there were 12. Perhaps in future these women could be more specific with their times and numbers and consider working WITH a restaurant for the best possible experience. Please get your facts straight before ranting online. In some countries this would be called libel!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8948346.post-1109059391477738392005-02-22T19:03:00.000+11:002005-02-22T19:03:00.000+11:00WOW!

Anything that promotes debate and improvement can only be a good thing for a State that has so much raw material to work with.<br /><br />I visit Tassie a few times every year and always struggle to find info on good places where to eat (pref with a good wine list). <br /><br />Perhaps as a public service to us all a listing of your favourite locations for lunch and dinner (and some phone numbers) will have more of us avoiding the crumbed scallop experience...<br /><br />A top 10 perhaps?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
