Closer for me Yipeee
« on: May 13, 2012, 08:27:10 pm »
Hi all,

As we had dinner prior to the club meeting in April which I didn't quite make due to Florida visitors.. thought I would put it out their to see who might be interested in dinner at the Prahan Hotel (82 High St.)

I got talking with the venue mngr in April and thought I would book a table to suit us all..

Could you please let me know if your interested in a meal before hand.. I plan to book the table by Tuesday 15th.

Cheers, Geoff

Won't eat there ever again.

We went there in April to talk to Matt,
my friends got there first and asked where to sit
and was told by the waitress,
anywhere you like.

I arrived with my partner and we ordered our meals,
meals arrived ok and half way through our meal
the Manager comes over and rudely tells us we need to move,
that the table was booked for a family function
and expected us to move now.

We told him that we were happy to move once we had finished our meals
and we were told to sit anywhere and there were no reserved signs on the table
not to mention the waitress took our orders and didn't say anything.

He said we needed to move and we could have a free drink.
We said we don't want the free drinks and we will move no problem after we finish eating which will be in 10 minutes,
not to mention he wouldn't let us talk and kept interrupting us,
 then cracked it and walked off.

He then came back 5 minutes later
and said we could stay on the table and was sorry for the way he re-acted and
was still talking over the top of us trying to explain what had happened.

In the end I stood up and said, mate you better shut up and listen to me right now.
I told him if he could shut his mouth long enough he might have heard what we had to say and what actually happened instead of thinking the world was going to end and
he could have handled the situation in a different manner
and needed to learn how to communicate and listen.

I was totally embarassed for inviting my friends over to meet Matt.
Anyway we got up and moved into the next room.

The funny thing is my friends are business people and live in a Penthouse over looking Faulner Park
on St. Kilda Road, and when I arrived he said to me that if the meals were good here
that he would come here more often as it was just down the road,
needless to say that will never happen now.

When you get there say hello to the Manager from me.

Maybe September Dr Dashboard, and that's a very big maybe...

Leaving Mexico on Wednesday night, heading back to London for Olympics duties.

Moz, he could have just had a bad day like we all do in life. Atleast he offered a free drink. I'd give it a 2nd chance and then make your mind up.

The steak I had there was far, far ahead of the Union. The Union lost the edge on their steaks some time ago.
Disappointing as it was a handy place.

Count me in at the Prahan Hotel.

Yeah, I'll be there ...

Thats a shame Moz that you got that end of the stick.  

Caretaker, those bigger tables might be a better spot for us, you know how noisy Tim & Johnno get...

I met the head chef who changed all the menus there the other day..  seemed like a nice bloke.  he enjoyed it until it became popular and they hired cheaper staff instead of him..   It's all business I suppose.  Hopefully, they read forums too.

The food seemed ok and the beer was cold. i'd give it another try.    

:drink:

Moz,

I had a similar experience last month. I was in the middle of my steak when the waiter asked me to move to a different table. The guy was polite about it so I moved without giving it a second thought. I'd go back there (can't this month) coz the food was great.

Evan.

Hi all,

Think we are looking at about 10 so will add a couple for good measure.

Phaseauto - Club meeting starts between 8-8.30 at Melbourne Bowling Club Union Street, Windsor.
Sometimes the meeting can run approx 1-1.5hrs (10ish or soon after)

The Prahan Hotel is at 82 High Street Prahan.. basically a brisk 5 minute walk from Melbourne Bowling Club.
If you park close to the pub..please check the parking signs..!!

I'm normally at the Bowling club around 5.30 and will park their and walk around to the pub.

Basically look for anyone wearing something "Mustang".

Cheers, Geoff

phaseautos is it the third Wednesday of the month. We are moving to the Richmond bowling club so watch this space for a new pub.

Looking like it will be the Town Hall Hotel that have an $8 pasta night on Wednesdays. I might have to take one for the team and do some recon beforehand.

Ask them to give you a gratis-sample meal, Dale.
Hopefully their culinary fare will be suitable to our collective most discerning tastebuds.
We have full faith in your ability to track down the most suitable establishment.:thumb:
