Well what a disappointment! It was my 73 birthday, and my granddaughter booked in her dad and I and herself for a High Tea on Monday 22nd August 2022 at C Restaurant.
I use to frequent the [censored] when it opened in 1978, and it was always an amazing experience.
This without a doubt was the poorest excuse for a High Tea for me, in the last 70 years.
• We were seated and my cup was visibly dirty and used, with lipstick on the rim.
• We ordered our tea and green tea came out rather than English Breakfast.
• My son who drinks coffee ordered a coffee, and within 30 minutes ordered another. We are still waiting for it as it never came, though of course we were charged for it.
• The cucumber sandwiches, were made with stale dry bread
• The pies were dry inside, and of poor quality
• The scones were dry and stale
• The quality of the cakes was disgusting
• We asked our designated waiter half a dozen time for butter and one coffee, and the answer was that the chef had to prepare them, seriously, the butter had to be prepared. Did you have a churn out back?
• The staff were totally inexperienced, and possessed poor communication skills.
• The term comes to mind, you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.

Without a doubt my worst experience in a restaurant. I am well aware there is a huge shortage of hospitality staff Australia wide, but a high end restaurant like yours should be able to source good staff with the proper salary.

I have been a cook for over 50 years and I can assure you, what you served my family that day, belonged in the garbage bin.
And to add insult to injury , they refuse to accept there is a problem and say not responsible for poor quality food or poorly trained staff, seriously ?????
