We were so looking forward to our Sunday lunch visit to The Cliff Beach Club.
As with most of the our restaurants on the island they invite you to join them for an aperitif before your dinner reservation.
We arrived a good half an hour...before our reservation, we were greeted at the front desk, temperature and contact details taken and shown to a bar table by a not very talkative lady who sat us down and left us with two cocktail menus.
We admired the view and waited and waited, during the first ten minutes we noticed a lot of staff running around and it all seem a little bit disjointed. Lots of staff came by us, coming and going, it appeared we had disappeared.
If you are going to invite people to arrive early, then get them a drink! Its not hard! We noticed other staff on the lower levels talking amongst themselves and their did not appear to be any leadership.
We waited another five minutes, talking amongst ourselves, getting a little bit more hot under the collar. After another five minutes and sitting there for a full twenty minutes, we'd had enough.
We flagged down the lady who had showed us to the table, to explain the problem, no apology, she just asked us what she could get us.
We left.
As we left we they continued to argue amongst themselves outside the lobby area. I also overheard the young lady who had seated us tell her boss who appeared to be older than her and more senior that we had only been there ten minutes. This was not true. She clearly lied to cover herself.
Luckily, we got a table at Lonestar, had some bottled water within two minutes of sitting down and a bottle of wine within 5 minutes. Sunday lunch was superb.
I am giving two as the rating as the lovely men who park your car were very efficient and friendly.
I completely agree with the previous review.More
