Well, I would love to post about the food at Makassars but as we didn't get any then I can't!!
We had decided to go one evening and had reserved a table for 9.30. It was busy when we arrived which was a good sign. We sat, got the menus and then ordered our food and drinks. Only one starter but another person in the party did order a starter as a main course. The drinks arrived and it took three or four requests for the right number of water/wine glasses and then ashtrays, etc.. A few minutes later two starters arrived - so we sent one back as this should have been served with the main course. This was clearly stated when we placed the order.
We then sat and waited, waited a bit more and then the waiting got a bit stupid. By 10.35 the restaurant was only half full but we were still waiting. The waitress assured us that our food was on its way but there was no apology. Fifteen minutes later and we had had enough. The two best spanish speakers in the party were sent in to talk to the manager - we told him that we would pay for our drinks and starter and then we were leaving.
He came out and again there was no apology - in fact he got quite bolshy with us. He was trying to put the blame on the waitress and was saying that it was because we sent one of the starters back but then we noticed that two other tables were also waiting - we had all arrived at about the same time.
We worked out what the cost was of the drinks and starter that we had consumed (35 euros) and took it in.
I am sure that the manager was muttering expletives at us but it was ridiculous. I have no idea when the two other tables got fed but they were both very annoyed too. I know that delays happen and if someone apologises and keep you informed then you don't mind but you don't ignore your customers and then get bolshy when they ask where there food is.
Next to our appartment was a bar called C'an Balache which is run by an English couple. It is a great place. I usually hate British bars (or faux Irish/Australian, etc..) with a passion but this is just a great bar that happens to be run by English people. We turned up at 11 and asked if we could have some tapas - 'not a problem' said Tony! We sat and ate some fantastic authentic tapas with a bottle of rose wine and enjoyed the rest of our evening.
In my opinion - avoid Makassars like the plague!
