Carvers Restaurant

Good riddance to Carvers

Ever since a change of management at around the beginning of the year, this place has deteriorated rapidly. I refer here to the so-called Tulbagh Bar, not the restaurant itself, which might still be a worthwhile proposition. About 2 weeks ago, I was one of a party of 6 enjoying a few drinks- something we had been doing there every Wednesday since before Covid. We always run individual tabs and I have long suspected that we've been systematically overbilled. On the day in question, I had settled my bill and was about to reverse out of my parking space, when this manager, a thickset individual with a head that seemed to be carved out of a block of teak, came rudely banging at my window and brandishing a bill in my face. He accused me of running away without paying, whereas I had paid and added a gratuity. The waiter serving us appeared clueless and obviously botched things somewhere, but saw an opportunity to pin the blame for the shortfall on me. I paid an additional R250 in cash to avoid a scene, but told that rude manager that I would never set foot un that place ever again, and I will not. His arrogant, discourteous behavior has cost the establishment a loss of turnover of R 2k+ weekly
