"Need to vent just had a 2+ hr dinner 🥘
at my hotel 🏨 that was beyond shocking 😳
1st time eating there for dinner in 14 days, took forever and they served Zoe
raw chicken 🍗 then brought back after 45 mins with same
silverware 🥄 on table and got everything wrong on my
order…..," he wrote. "And looked at us like hmm 🤔
about serving raw chicken 🍗 and brutal when asked
for clean silverware. Was trying to like heck to just get check to get the heck
out of there, amazingly it’s crowded and both tables next to us have exactly 👍
the same issues, and saw @ChrisEubankJr walk in to sit down 🪑
felt massively obligated to tell him don’t do it run 🏃♂️to
another place asap. Felt bad for the waitress and left decent tip and food was
125 euros 💶,"
