Shocking , turning into surreal and then into laughter

<p>This one I can tell my grandchildren one day. Everything that can go wrong, went wrong at this restaurant. The John Dory Restaurant in Somerset West Mall. When we got there, there was only one other table occupied. That should have given it away I know... We were shown to our table and left there. Eventually called the waiter after 15 min of waiting and asked if we can order. After that we waited about 45 minutes for our food. Our kids go their food in 5 minutes and was hungry again by the time me and my wife got our food. The restaurant did not have tomato or barbecue sauce. The presentation of the food was horrible. We got no tomato or onion rings. Just a piece of steak a few chips thrown on a plate. My steak was cut in two... We complained and the waiter started to give us attitude. I had to run after her again to ask for the bill. She eventually came back a few minutes later and put a piece of printed paper on our table, making no eye contact. Normally the bill come in a leather cover with some sweets? To top it off they did not have any working POS devices. I didn't have any cash on me, so had to go draw cash at an ATM machine to pay for our meal. Please spare yourselves the anger and do not visit John Dory's in Somerset West Mall. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

We visited the same John Dory restaurant over the weekend. The first time since the above mentioned incident. A waiter took our group (6 people) to a table and went off again. We waited 20 minutes for the waiter to return which he never did. We got up and had our lunch at Spur.
