点评:Let me start at the beginning… In August I took my three boys 4,7 and 8 after swimming all day to Mannino's on Main St in the Village of Smithtown to eat. We usually order out from them but thought it would be quicker to stop by and eat. It had started to rain as an electrical storm was approaching. There was one booth open and I sighed with relief that I could get the boys inside, out of the rain, and quickly fed.
However, it was short lived, upon asking the host to seat us, and instead, she headed to talk to the bartender. The bartender then came over and asked me annoyingly and loudly, “what do you want, what did you say?” Quite confused as to what was going on or what the problem could be, since we were dressed in appropriate attire as we had changed out of our suits before leaving the pool, I told him we were looking to sit and eat. At 63 years old and with three starving grandchildren I wasn’t there to be in a confrontation, just to feed three tired boys and get them home to bathe and ready for bed since it was already around 7:00. Being met with resistance and now told we could order at the counter and dine OUTSIDE with our food, in an electrical downpour, I told him, “no thanks you’re a dime a dozen” and left!
Extremely defeated and exhausted I piled the boys back into the car and went to a place called Ciro’s with the boys, where they were slammed packed with diners but the owner behind the counter must of seen the defeat in my eyes and exhaustion on my face because he had his workers take two tables out of the back and set them up for us and made us feel like family! What a blessing! Manninos did me a favor because I never would have found Ciros and the food at Ciro’s was delicious! Not only that I found our new eat in and take out pizza place where we order at least 3x a month and never an attitude whether dining in or take out!
翻译:让我从头说起……八月份,我带着我的三个男孩 4,7 和 8 游泳了一整天后到史密斯敦村 Main St 的 Mannino's 吃饭。我们通常从他们那里订购,但认为停下来吃饭会更快。一场雷暴即将来临,天开始下雨了。有一个摊位空着,我松了一口气,因为我可以把孩子们带到里面,躲避雨水,并迅速吃饱。
然而,它是短暂的,在要求主人为我们安排座位后,她转而去与酒保交谈。酒保然后过来,烦躁地大声问我,“你想要什么,你说什么?”由于我们在离开游泳池之前已经换掉了西装,所以我们穿着合适的衣服,所以对于发生了什么或可能是什么问题感到非常困惑,我告诉他我们想坐下来吃饭。我已经 63 岁了,带着三个饥饿的孙子孙女,我不是来和他们发生冲突的,只是为了喂饱三个疲惫的男孩,让他们回家洗澡并准备睡觉,因为已经是 7:00 左右了。遇到阻力,现在告诉我们可以在柜台点餐,在外面用我们的食物用餐,在倾盆大雨中,我告诉他,“不,谢谢你一毛钱一打”然后离开了!
极度挫败和疲惫我把男孩们塞回车里,和男孩们一起去了一个叫 Ciro's 的地方,那里挤满了食客,但柜台后面的老板一定看到了我眼中的失败和脸上的疲惫,因为他让他的工人从后面拿了两张桌子为我们摆好,让我们感觉像家人一样!这是何等的祝福! Manninos 帮了我一个忙,因为我永远不会找到 Ciros,而且 Ciro 的食物很美味!不仅如此,我发现我们新的堂食和外卖比萨饼店,我们每月至少订购 3 次,无论是堂食还是外卖,都没有态度!
