"Me, my partner and his mum decided to go out for a nice meal. We decided to go to frankie bennies as its somewhere we haven't been for a while. I made the reservation online for when we arrived, we were greeted by a lovely and pleasant young lady who showed us to our table. The restaurant had a large party in, and a couple of smaller tables, but was rather quiet, and had a nice ambiance. Shortly after being seated, we were greeted by a young man called Tyler, who was our waiter for the evening. The food and drinks were very good, although I asked for a rare steak, it was more closer to medium, but still tasted good. As we finished our main course, we asked for a box to take the rest of of the meals home with us, and as he brought the box over, he asked if we'd like the bill, assuming that everyone at the table had finished, but then I asked for more drinks, and the dessert menu. At first I thought everything was fine, and that nothing was too much trouble. As the evening went on, the restaurant emptied, and we were the last table in, as the restaurant states it is open till I didn't think there would be any problem. As we were eating our desserts, we overheard conversations between the waiting staff, moaning about waiting for us to finish, and how they wanted to go home, it was barely at this point. We felt very uncomfortable at this point, we didn't finish our drinks before we left. When the waiters that were moaning went outside the front for their cigarette, we felt this was our opportunity to leave, I went up to the pleasant young lady who seated us, and asked for our bill, and paid with her, I don't like going to a restaurant without leaving a gratuity, but being made to feel so unwelcome, I decided not to... we explained the situation to the young lady, who was very understanding of the whole situation. Despite the rather bad ending, we did enjoy our food."
