Jimmy ****er *****s!

<p>I have always loved Jimmy's Prawn Promise. So had been excited when I had first heard of Jimmy's opening here in PMB and had made a point to get to them as soon as they opened but was sorely disappointed as they did not offer the Prawn Promise on the menu but offered odd Indian inspired meat dishes and as a result did not go back until this last Saturday (24/09/2016). I had thought I would give them a second chance. People be warned. If you are not careful they will rob you blind. On asking the waiter what the special of the day was, he mentioned they had 450g lobster available at R249 which I decided to have. After a short while the manager came to our table to tell me that there was only one lobster left and she had just had a look at it and it was a bit small and would I be okay if they supplement it with 4 king prawns, I agreed.</p> <p>As soon as the meal arrived, I pointed out to the waiter that it was actually a crayfish and not a lobster, he then argued with me that it was in fact a lobster and that is what they call lobster. Now I fully understand that in some parts of the world, crayfish is called spiny lobster but this is South Africa and here lobster and crayfish are 2 different creatures, furthermore, they have both Lobster and Crayfish on the menu, surely this then means that they acknowledge the difference between the 2 and the staff should then know the difference.</p> <p>Not being one to make a huge fuss about things, I decided to try to just have a decent evening and ate the meal. The crayfish was done okay, just smothered and hidden under a copious amount of the Kashmir sauce I ordered it with (perhaps an attempt to cover up the fact that it was not lobster?!?) The "king" prawns overdone and chewy and in my opinion small and did no compensate for the tiny crayfish.</p> <p>Then to add insult to injury, when the bill arrived, I found that I was being charged R299! for 450g Lobster, which was actually a tiny crayfish 70% of which was not edible. I have never in my life asked to speak to the manager before but this time I felt I had a right to. She insisted it was a lobster, just a small one. I tried to explain that it clearly was a crayfish but she just argued with me and since I had already paid, only made a halfhearted attempt to offer me a free dessert(which I think I already paid for considering I was so grossly over charged). I declined the insincere offer and asked her to please not treat other customers so appallingly in future and please educate the staff and herself on the menu items they are offering and the pricing of SQ items.</p> <p>Jimmy's you have left a rather sour taste in my mouth, needless to say I will never be dining there again. My advice to other diners, get confirmation of the price and perhaps ask to see the lobster/crayfish/langoustine etc first before ordering it. I do have pics of the "lobster" dinner but it doesnt seem to be able to upload for some reason</p>
