As long time regular visitors to Merimbula ( over 45 years) and having dined at Wheelers at least once a year, we were extremely disappointed by their service and food this year. Celebrating our 31st wedding anniversary, we thought we’d book somewhere a bit more...‘special’ at least by Merimbula standards. Never again, they have not only lost our custom, but our friends with us & locals we know and have spoken to since dining their yesterday. To give you some background- there were only 2 other diners when we arrived at 6pm, they also ‘tout’ themselves as an Oyster/ seafood specialty restaurant. All 7 of us were keen to have the seafood platter, which incidentally we have had before with this modification and at $170 dollars per platter, needed to be worthwhile. As 4 of us do not like oysters natural, we requested from our waiter ( who was obnoxious & rude, had no customer service skills whatsoever!) my husband requested the oysters kilpatrick. Never been a problem in the past 15 years we have been dining there. First our waiter said ‘no sorry we are very limited by oysters’ to which our response was (twice for clarification) no we don’t want more, simply that they are cooked. His response was - no we can’t do that, we only have 2 chefs and lots of people in....really, we were the only ones, aside from two others, in the restaurant. He wasn’t even willing to check. Poor service and form! Then our platters arrived with absolutely no condiments, mussels with dishwashing sauce and small bugs & 1/2 a small oyster. So our advice - take your money elsewhere for better service, quality & quantity. Thank you for spoiling our anniversary dinner!More
