点评:If you are planning an evening of fine dining, plan to go somewhere else.
This is not a real restaurant, but a room off the pub area (calling Vintages a restaurant is a gross overstatement). The owners and managers are obviously coasting on the fact its on a nice property and there is nothing else nearby, rather than making any effort.
The food was substandard. The risotto very undercooked and the pork bland. But the food was the least bad part of the evening.
When we arrived we were seated and the evening started out well enough. However shortly after a large group of 20+ people arrived, which the restaurant had known about in advance. Instead of planning ahead of time, such as giving the large group its own space, or informing any couples or small groups of the incoming large party (and allowing us to decide whether to go elsewhere or stay), the manager decided to do nothing.
Instead halfway through dinner I could no longer have a simple conversation with my wife, as we were drowned out by the loud crowd. We could barely finish our dinner, and had to order dessert to go. We were looking forward to having a nice dinner, but we were beyond disappointed. I spoke to the manager, and all he did was say that this wasn't a normal evening, that they were busy. As the restaurant only takes reservations (so they know who was coming), that excuse was pathetic. I highly doubt this is the first time that decades-old restaurant happened to be busy with a large group.
The morning after during checkout I demanded that the previous night's dinner bill be removed. The young lady at the front desk was very helpful, while the manager (who was in the next room) did not bother to help out his staff. This "manager" decided to hide out instead. This showed, in addition to everything else, that this entire place is to be avoided at all costs.
Note: The waitress that evening was polite and professional, as was the lady at the front desk. The many faults of the restaurant and hotel landed squarely at the lack-luster managers and the cheap owners.

这不是真正的餐厅,而是酒吧区外的一个房间(将 Vintages 称为餐厅是夸张的说法)。业主和经理显然是因为它位于一处漂亮的房产上并且附近没有其他东西,而不是做出任何努力。
食物不合标准。意大利调味饭未煮熟,猪肉清淡。但食物是晚上最不糟糕的部分。
当我们到达时,我们就座了,晚上开始得很好。然而,在一大群 20 多人到达后不久,餐厅提前知道了这一点。经理没有提前计划,例如给大型团体自己的空间,或通知任何夫妇或小型团体即将到来的大型聚会(并允许我们决定是去别处还是留下来),而是决定什么都不做。
相反,晚餐吃到一半时,我再也无法与妻子进行简单的交谈,因为我们被喧闹的人群淹没了。我们几乎吃不完晚餐,只好点了甜点。我们期待着享用一顿丰盛的晚餐,但我们感到非常失望。我和经理谈过,他只是说这不是一个正常的晚上,他们很忙。由于餐厅只接受预订(所以他们知道谁来了),这个借口很可悲。我非常怀疑这是几十年历史的餐厅第一次碰巧有一大群人在忙碌。
第二天早上结帐时,我要求取消前一晚的晚餐账单。前台的年轻女士非常乐于助人,而经理(在隔壁房间)却懒得帮助他的员工。这位“经理”决定躲起来。这表明,除了其他一切之外,要不惜一切代价避免整个地方。
注意:那天晚上的女服务员礼貌而专业,前台的女士也是如此。餐厅和酒店的诸多过错恰恰落在了管理人员乏善可陈和老板吝啬的头上。
