We booked in advance and had lots of reminders sent to ensure we were still attending.
When we arrived, we were shown to a table near the bar, so not ideal but not a deal breaker. I was told, quickly, that they were not accepting...card payments, when I advised them I didn't have enough cash with me I was directed to an ATM " around 150m away". This was not great as it was pouring with rain; moreover, we were not told in advance of this issue and it appeared from signage that cards were accepted.
I understand that covid may have caused cash flow issues, but why this couldn't be notified in advance so I could have arranged sufficient cash?
Anyhow, at first I could not find the ATM and so returned to the restaurant for further directions, which were given.
When I returned with the cash a couple were moving from a window table so we asked to be relocated and the waiter agreed to this; however another couple simply jumped up and sat down in the window seat and so this was the last straw, we got up and left.
All in all, a really poor experience which marred what had until then been a pleasant day in Brussels.More
