| - I haven't been to Guu for a year, and I am happy to say that their food has remained extremely delicious just like how I remembered it.
I have always loved going to Guu on special occasions, and when I go I expect screaming and yelling and feeling embarrassed in front of a room full of people (regulars will know what I'm talking about) so noise has never really been a real issue for me. However, I did notice that there are more employees working at this Guu from I last came so with more people yelling, the noise level is actually past my comfort level and my expectations.
My main issue is with the watered-down drinks and the service. Our table ordered the Lychee Mojito and the Peach Mojito, and both tasted very bland and watered-down. Yes I taste the bitterness of the alcohol, but please don't be fooled by the number of ingredients listed on the menu, because I definitely did NOT taste anything but bitterness, water, and a hint of mint for my lychee mojito.
Our server rushed us and it was VERY obvious. She seemed extremely impatient for us to order, and when the food came she never came to check on us, only her colleagues did. We were seated at the bar and did not see anyone waiting for our seats and other couples at the bar area were NOT rushed like this in any way. The restaurant was not even full even though it was a Friday night so I saw no reason why she would be so rude. She did not give us water even though we mentioned it to her twice. When she came to take our empty plates away she immediately asked if we just wanted the bill.
Overall I did not feel welcomed despite the show that they put on to "welcome" us and "say goodbye". I will not be coming back to this Guu because of this hypocrisy. If you are going to scream and yell to welcome us and put on a show, please make sure your servers are trained properly, and treat your customers with respect when it comes to the actual service.
