Great mains, pity about the chips
Came for lunch with my sister. We loved our Thai-style mains which were amazing with lots of flavour, very impressive for a vegetarian restaurant.
But the service was below average and the chips were too terrible to finish.
When we arrived at 1.40, we had to wait 20 minutes while they got our table ready. OK, so we didn't have a reservation, but the restaurant was only half full. There was no reason to make us wait at all.
We ordered the chips as a side dish and they looked delicious. But, when we tasted them, they were overcooked and swimming in oil so we left most of them. We expected a lot more for $10!
When the waiter asked if everything was ok, we said we really didn't like the chips and he said 'That's funny, I love them' and that was it. He didn't offer us anything else or take them off our bill. Also, when we didn't leave a tip, he looked annoyed.
I was really excited about visiting Vega, and the mains were just fantastic, but the rest of the experience was really disappointing.
Tips
- Use an informal or semi-formal style.
- In the title, give the main idea or opinion.
- Write about the important parts of the experience, not every detail.
- Organise your ideas into paragraphs.
- Write about the good and the bad.
I recently went to a restaurant with my family, and in general I really liked it a lot. The place is nice and comfortable, and the prices are very good, not too expensive. Also, the menu is very big, so you have many options to choose, like different types of food. I think this is something very important because sometimes it is hard to decide what to eat, but here you can find something you like.
The food was really delicious. Everything we ordered had a very good taste and it looked fresh. I really enjoy the food, and I think it is a good place to go again. Maybe next time I want to try more dishes because there are many options.
But not everything was perfect. The service at the entrance was not so good. The person who received us was a little serious and not very friendly, and it made us feel a bit uncomfortable at the beginning. I think first impression is very important, so this is something they should improve.
In general, I recomend this restaurant because the food and prices are very good, but I hope they can be more kind with the customers in the future.
Good food in Morelos, but slow service
I went to this restaurant in Morelos with my parents and my sister. We had a good experience, but not perfect. The place was clean and nice. The music was soft and the atmosphere was calm. It is a good place to go with family.
The food was very good. I ordered a main dish and a drink. Everything tasted good and fresh. The presentation of the food was also very nice.
But there were some problems. The service was slow. They made us wait a long time for a table and for the food. The staff was friendly, but they were a little busy and not very fast.
Yes, I have. Once I had a bad meal at a restaurant. The food was cold and not very tasty. The service was also slow and the waiter was not very friendly. We had to wait a long time for our order. In the end, I felt disappointed and I didn’t go back again.

I really liked that the food arrived quickly and the dishes were delicious. As an improvement, I'd suggest keeping the menu updated regarding unavailable options. The service was excellent
Yes, I have. Once I went to a restaurant and the food was very salty. I didn´t like at all
In my case, before booking a table, I try to find out about the restaurant by reading reviews. That is why I don't usually make mistakes with this kind of choice. It’s true that every experience is different, but nowadays there is plenty of information available to ensure we make a good choice.
I visited a known italian restaurant my city, called San Ceferino, with my friends, it has 5 stars, so I had high expectations.
The restaurant doesn't make reservations, but fortunatelly we didn't have to wait a lot to get a table. The only problem is that the restaurant is very small, so it feels a little bit crowded.
On the other hand, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious. The lasagna was the best I've ever tried, and I know I'm definitely going back to try it again.
My sister and I went to a restaurant near downtown.That was really hitting online and some food Bloggers were giving impressive reviews for dishes and we thought it'd go well.Unfortunately,when we get there,we had to wait just for two dishes for an hour although there weren't so many customers.I thought the dishes would be worth waiting for.Meat inside the burger was a bit sour and the chips were oily.I hope I'll never trust the reviews from online because the Bloggers in these days are just trying to be paid rather than giving us the actual reviews.
I have a same experience. I and my two brothers had gone a some restaurant We ordered three different type of food and waited 1 hour. I went near the chief of restaurant and asked about our orders. after 30 minutes We saw our orders did't come yet. We angred and go out form restaurant without eat anything.
