"My partner and I visited Spaghetti Tree with another couple, and we were seated by the window without a reservation. We ordered some beers and waited for our friends to arrive. After about 15 minutes, they came and ordered a bottle of red wine, along with some olives and a bread basket. We started enjoying our drinks and food when, unexpectedly, a staff member approached my partner and asked her to remove her baseball cap.
Confused, my partner questioned why we were only being informed of this now, especially since no one mentioned it when we entered. Had we known, we would have opted to go to the pub next door instead. It felt unfair, especially since we had communicated that we were a group of four and were seated in a prominent spot. Reluctantly, my partner removed her cap, feeling uncomfortable for the rest of the evening because she hadn’t styled her hair as she would have preferred.
The staff then offered us the option to either move to a less desirable table at the back of the restaurant, where no other patrons were seated, or stay at the window if she removed her hat. It was disappointing to see that there were only three tables occupied in the entire restaurant.
Unfortunately, the food didn’t meet our expectations either. Given this experience, it's unlikely that we will return. We've dined here before, but after this visit, we certainly won’t be coming back."
