We arrived around 5:15 PM intrigued to try the number one rated restaurant in Phansavan - There was already a small group waiting outside on Saturday evening a bit confused as to if the restaurant was opening tonight.
The sign on the door indicated it...would open at 5:00 PM
We proceeded to knock on the glass to get the attention of the girl observed working behind the bar - The girl noted us all outside, rudely glanced at us, and then ignored us all by turning away - After a second knock on the door, perplexed as to why she had not acknowledged us, the girl again looked up made a face at us and kept working for a another minute or so and then walked away through a door!
We waited for her to return for a good five minutes or so – she did not return!
Puzzled as to if the restaurant was even opening that night and dismayed by the apparent rudeness of the female staffer, the five of us gave up and left for alternative eating venues.........
Would we ever return - not a chance based on the apparent rude staffer who could have at least had the decency to explain if they were opening that night or advised us of a delayed opening etc.More
