| - Frankly, I would not give this restaurant 1 * , but it is the lowest option.
These people have no consideration for handicapped people.
I was horrified at our treatment. We went to this neighbourhood restaurant for my best friend's birthday dinner ( at her request), and she was excited to about her evening. There was a 20 minute wait, so we ordered a drink from the bar, the 2 guys each ordered a beer, and the girls (my friend and I) decided to split a beer as we did not want to fill up before our fish and chips, as they can be quite filling. We were then seated and put our order in. We ordered a half litre of wine with dinner, and a short time later, the waitress came back and told us she could bring our food, but she could not serve us any alcohol, the half litre of wine.
I, discreetly, asked to speak to her, to let her know that my friends husband had a brain injury and is handicapped, and that she might have misread the situation. He walks with a limp and has a left side deficit from his stroke, and sometimes speaks loudly. She then told me that it was my friend, (his wife)that was slurring!? Just to qualify, she had not even had half of a beer. I know this because we left half of it as we walked out. I understand that they did not know he was handicapped, but when I explained, they did not change their position. It was humiliating, and they live in the neighbourhood and have always liked to go here. Needless to say, they will never be back and neither will we. We will let our friends know how awfully we were treated as well. I am not handicapped, myself, but cannot believe the treatment that we received. I would love to know what this woman made her judgement on.
We went to another neighbourhood restaurant and were treated as anybody should be, wonderfully!
At least she still had a nice birthday. We are all 50 +....., not that it should matter.
Just to say again, will never go back, and if you are handicapped or know and care about somebody who is, please do not give this establishment your business! I am still in utter shock at our treatment.
