Rotten olives on fancy plates

On Saturday, 06 July 2019, a few family members and I did the Park run ant WITS and thought we'd try out the Olives & Plates restaurant at the WITS Club. Let's just say: "Once bitten, twice shy".

We were actually warned by other participants of the race that the service was shoddy, but unfortunately didn't heed the warnings. Hopefully others reading this will.

The waiter was friendly, took our drinks orders but we waited an unnecessarily long time for them to be served. It took 15 minutes to serve 3 drinks and another 5 to get the other 2 drinks after which the waiter walked off even though I told him that we were ready to place our orders. I had a look at the bar area and saw that there was enough staff members, so that should not has been the issue.

After order were placed, we again waited unnecessarily long for the food to be served, over 30 minutes. We talking about breakfast here, toasted bacon & eggs, poached egg and avo - nothing exotic or complicated, so what's the excuse?

I had avocado and egg on rye. That wasn't rye - it was a piece of wood disguised as bead. I simply couldn't cut through it. I told them to take away and take the charge off the bill, which they did. I was offered a replacement meal which I declined - how long would I have waited for that??

We sat outside at concrete tables, on plastic chairs. We didn't care the fancy plates are used nor that there are fancy smears on the plate, just provide good food and good service.

5 people, will now tell 5 of their friends about their BAD experience at WITS Olives & Plates restaurant at the WITS Club…
