"On a quiet Thursday evening, my boyfriend and I decided to share a couple of beers and a meal to say goodbye for a while. This seemed completely reasonable, especially in an airport setting. Both in our early thirties, we were behaving perfectly normally—it's never easy to say goodbye. However, after our second pint (the last one, as I needed to catch my flight), a tall woman with brown hair, wearing a yellow name badge, approached our table and put us in a humiliating situation. She loudly scolded us, saying, "Come on guys, this is a restaurant, not a hotel room." It was shocking enough that we were left speechless. In a proper restaurant, when food is being served, you'd expect to receive cutlery, even if it accidentally falls to the floor. But instead, we were made to feel embarrassed at a vulnerable moment—something I wouldn't wish on anyone. I strongly urge the management to have a serious conversation with this staff member about what customer service truly means, especially in an airport environment. Thank you."

Wetherspoon should face bankruptcy due to its terrible treatment of employees. It's no surprise that people are vandalizing their windows across the country.

I visited the restaurant today before going through security checks and ordered a chicken Caesar salad. Everything seemed fine at first, but after an hour, I started feeling very unwell and ended up vomiting. There was definitely something wrong with the food, and I won't be returning again. Four hours later, I still feel terrible. View menu

nikola was my hostess to welcome me from the long waiting queue to the restaurant and although it was extremely busy, she always had a friendly smile and helped me to choose the best available netzen and made me comfortable to make sure that the food and drinks came in the time for my flight. thanks for the great service, I'll be back!

I had a wonderful experience at All Bar One, thanks to the friendly greetings from the staff and the manager. However, it was Anna, the hardworking server, who truly stood out during my visit. Most airports tend to have standard bistro-style food and drink options, which often results in an average dining experience. It's the floor staff that really sets a place apart, and Anna certainly made my brief stay enjoyable.

I stopped by for a pint before my flight to Dublin with my son. He had a bag of chips from Burger King, but we were told he could only eat food purchased on the premises. I advised him not to go outside, but he politely did anyway. I noticed a woman at another table eating her own sandwiches, and when I pointed this out, the staff member simply shrugged it off. To make my point, I took out my apple and started eating it, and surprisingly, the staff member didn't say a word. Overall, I was not impressed and won't be returning. View menu

I was actually quite disappointed with my experience. I used the app to order food while at the airport, but it was sent to the wrong part of the terminal. You would think they would stop processing the order and redirect it to the correct location. A woman from the nearby pub came over quickly and asked if I had ordered food. When I replied yes, she informed me that she couldn't bring it through and bluntly stated that we wouldn't receive a refund. She mentioned that this had happened to many people, and frankly, not everyone has money to waste. I even called the head office to sort it out, but it seems I was not directed to the right person. The staff member at the pub spoke down to me, wh...

I was quite disappointed with my experience. I used the app to order food while I was inside the airport, but my order was mistakenly sent to the wrong location. You would think they would stop processing the order and redirect it to the correct place. A woman from the nearby restaurant came over quickly and asked if I had ordered food. When I replied yes, she bluntly told me they couldn't bring it through and said we wouldn’t receive a refund, claiming this has happened to many people. It’s frustrating to think that some people might not have extra money to waste like this. Additionally, I called their head office for assistance, but they said I wasn't connected to the right department, whi...

"new kapitel has caught my attention after I was on top ten on trip advisor only months after the opening in the oktober last year. that and the fact that it is open for my early january birthday, made it the perfect place to celebrate to become a little older. I was with the man and his family. the man is quite used to my taste and good to the kind of kitchen that would appeal to me for a special occasion; his family not so much and I was filled with shame as his mother scornful went through the menu trying to find something she would enjoy. I've eaten with the family of the man, and I know they enjoy eating, so I think it's a failure of the menu that it is not accessible. the benming always blooming and garnish can appeal to some, but for others it is overcomplicated and it is necessary to find a balance between the two. we start with the starters and I go for venison sour wort pithvier. the venison was underheated and incredibly dry, to the happiness the sourded a little moisturizing and so saved the whole dish, but the aromen were quite not clear, except the garnitur of plastered mushrooms I thoroughly enjoyed. for the largest part we chose a fish dish for our main,- sea trout, smoked muddles, petersilien and coast herbs. where the starter fell, the main recording is getting back. the dish is rich and creamy, and each element adds the complexity of the taste as a whole, without disturbing. the concept is now an old one, and it would be deceptive if it had not worked, as it would essentially pay with this place. I enjoyed my meal in new chapter, although I do not agree with it is stellar status under the hierarchy of edinburgh eateries. it is top ten position is just a flash in the pan of hot popularity, and in time it will be plated in the upper half of the middle stage where it belongs. and that is where it belongs, the dishes can be plated with a michelin star in understood, and the venue and the supporting media has the clean lines and empty slate look of fine but eat the team has a long gone to go if that is their real aim. at the end, although it was a beautiful meal, and cheap (at the moment I would not be surprised to see their prices slowly rise) and the man’s mother found something they enjoyed and that is the most important."
