My sister booked a table for 15 at Carnivore to celebrate my nephew's 21st birthday. We had an unpleasant experience with regards to the service we received.
Bad, bad attitude. I have never experienced such. The waiters serving the meat were in a huge hurry...and were outright rude. One of the guests gave a thumbs up sign when offered meat and was rudely told that meant she doesn't want the meat served and was confusing the waiter. Needless to say she was dumbfounded as no one had explained the required etiquette.
I suspect we became invisible because at some point the waiters decided to ignore our table. Although our table was the first when they entered the dining room, they skipped it and served the other tables. We went for almost an hour without service. Our table didn't have a flag. We thought this was the problem and asked our waitress to bring one half way through the meal. However, having the flag up didn't make any difference. "All you can eat" is a lie. Portions and what you are offered, is tightly controlled by the waiters.
When we asked for whatever meat was being served at other tables, we were either told the waiter was coming or whatever was being served was finished. We were not offered the venison biryani, beef and pork, let alone second helpings of the other meats. We only got these after raising our displeasure with our waitress. In the end she served us with meat. She tried to make up for her colleagues' behavior.
Apart from the soup, no explanations were given as to the courses being served. As a result, we were surprised when desert was offered while some in our group were still hungry. Some dishes on the menu were not served and no explanation was given.
My niece asked for the vegetarian option. See attached pics of what she got. Really!!!!!! Not anywhere close to what was on the vegetarian menu.
I am writing this in the hope that no one will be treated like this ever again.More
