We were heading to odysea and starving from our long drive from Flagstaff. One of our party is vegetarian and we were excited to see the options from this restaurant. While we were Googling we saw a Groupon for it so that was a bonus.
When we got to the location it was hard to find because the sign just says Pangea. The website has this location's information on it so we finally made it. Two of our party were walking ahead of us while trying to find the restaurant so they got to it first and were seated. The waiter refused to give them water cups for the other three of us until we got there. Not too big of a deal but kind of weird. The weirdness kept coming.
We waited a long time for the waiter and we were a little stressed because we had a time entry ticket to the aquarium. It was our own fault for not leaving ourselves enough time, so again, not too big of a deal. He finally came and got our drink order, but refused to stick around to get our meal order. All of us were either ready to order since we have been sitting there for a while, or had questions about the menu since it wasn't too clear about what was vegetarian. He was in a huge rush for whatever reason. We gave each other looks but still were not too upset, just weirded out.
He came back with our water cups which were just little plastic disposable cups, strange for what appeared to be a nice restaurant. Then we tried to ask him about the Groupon since it stated it was for four people and we had a party of five. He kept repeating that it would be taken off of the bill and wouldn't let us finish our question. Just kept repeating the same thing over and over, talking over us. He then decided he had to go wait on his other tables so he took off again.
The Groupon was not worth the waiter's rudeness. We left and went next door to the restaurant that overlooks the dolphin area. Luckily Groupon has an exchange policy and we had a lovely lunch elsewhere.
