This is a swanky place. Hands down. Upscale, and posh.
My co-workers and I walked in, and I knew this visit was about to cost me lots of money. At first, I stuck to my guns. I refused to order anything because I knew everything was completely over priced.
After watching my co-workers banter for about 30 minutes on what bottle they'd get to split, they both looked at me and asked if I would go in on a bottle of Champagne with them. Converted to USD, the bottle they picked would be about $25 each split. I agreed. The waitress, who spoke very good English btw, came over, and we pointed to what we wanted on the menu, and also verbally confirmed the bottle that we wanted.
Our bottle came, and we split it up. It was about an equivalent to one full champagne flute full of wine each between the three of us. The bill came. My co-workers, younger and clearly more naive than myself, just threw their cards down. I picked up the bill and looked at it. Wrong numbers, we were overcharged in a major way.
Basically the debate was, the waitress brought us the bigger bottle option. We asked for the smaller one... even pointed to it on the menu, and as i mentioned, verbally confirmed. Unfortunately, the problem could not be resolved because we successfully drank the bottle.
I ended up paying $70 USD for ONE glass full of Champagne. Never, ever, again! read more
