I have never been so badly treated while dining out in my life. The restaurant didn't inform me…read morebeforehand that they only accept cash, so when it was time to pay, I said I would have to go to the cash-point (just a few metres away from the restaurant).
The waiter then demanded that I hand him my passport until I came back. I responded that I was not comfortable giving him such an important document, and suggested that one of their staff might accompany me to the cash-point if they were concerned. He refused, and when I wouldn't back down he became aggressive and told me he wouldn't let me leave the restaurant unless I gave him my ID. In the end I was forced to hand over my credit card to him so I could use my debit card at the cash-point.
Frankly I regret handing over the credit card, which was clearly a security risk. I'm not clear on why this was necessary given that the cash-point was only a few metres away and visible from the restaurant, and that they had plenty of staff who could have kept an eye on me.
I *strongly* advise you avoid this place.
