My dad is only in the country for a few weeks out of the entire year. We tried to go to Goyemon several months ago the last time he was here and the wait was ridiculously long and the hostess was not too friendly so he got mad and we left without eating.
Fast forward to today and we decided to give Goyemon another try. There were way less people and the wait shouldn't have been long but we were left standing and unattended for quite a while. My dad tried to talk to the hostess but he was pretty much brushed off. Again, we left without eating.
I don't think my dad is down to try a third time and now my credibility with him when it comes to choosing restaurants has greatly diminished.
I'll still eat here with friends though.
