We booked a table for 7pm for one of our party’s birthday. Some of our party arrived at 6.45pm, and the rest at 7pm. On arrival we were greeted by a scruffy looking gentleman who made a half sarcastic comment about being late- which we...weren’t. After a 20 minute wait we were eventually offered drinks. Our early arrivals weren’t offered a drink while they waited so had been waiting over half an hour at this point for their first drink. After another 10 minutes or so, we had to ask if they could take our food order. With two young children with us, after a further 30 minutes had passed we asked how long our food would be and we’re told it wouldn’t be long. The table next to us who had arrived after us, had received their starters and mains and we were still waiting for starters. We had to ask a further two or three times before we decided to ask to speak to the manager. The scruffy looking gentleman from before turned out to be the owner, Franco. My husband took him to the side and began explaining our situation. Before he had even finished his sentence, Franco began shouting at him and waving his arms saying this is the best food in Leeds and everything was cooked from fresh, no microwave, no nothing. We weren’t disputing this. Our intention was to explain that we had been waiting for over an hour with no explanation when we arrived that there would be a delay. Yes is was busy but he then said that if we hadn’t have been late then this wouldn’t be the case. We arrived at our booked table time but we’re being penalised because some of our party had turned up earlier than our booking. My husband wasn’t able to get a word in so he stood back and allowed Franco to continue to shout at him in front of our party, children, his staff and the whole restaurant. Some of his staff tried to calm him down and he began shouting at them telling them to go away. At this point they began to bring our food out. He began repeatedly shouting “just eat your god damn food for goodness sake” but after the embarrassment of being shouted at by a ‘professional’, we decided we would not be staying and left. He started shouting at another table that we had the wrong attitude… from reading other reviews, he clearly has form and I’m not sure it’s us who has the wrong attitude. Avoid.More
