My partner and I visited Cipri for dinner on the weekend. The food was nice, HOWEVER I was fairly disappointed by the end of our evening. There was one waiter who upon realising we didn’t feel like dessert and instead asked for the bill, became...very icy, as though we had wasted their evening by dining there and only having entrees and mains. I felt this was extremely distasteful service, considering he had been overly friendly up until this point. We also ordered the aranchini which was underwhelming, but upon getting the bill we realised that they had given us 2 servings (which we hadn’t realised previously as the menu didn’t specify how many per serve, and we hadn’t asked for initially as we’d ordered another entree as well).
They also offered to put our gnocchi on 2 separate plates and we’d said we were sharing both our mains, which we thought was very kind but then they CHARGED us an extra $8 on the bill just for ‘spare plate surcharge’. I was extremely unimpressed as I would have been happy to share from the one plate knowing this and this was nowhere specified on the menu, nor by our waiter. Very immoral.
I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant considering you could receive much better service someplace else, and will save yourself ridiculous hidden surcharges.More
