The Hawthorn, Greeba

The facts: We telephoned the Hawthorn with regard to making a booking for New Years Eve. It was explained that there was a set menu and also the usual menu avaliable. We decided to book the table and requested the table in the corner alcove near the window. All confirmed and we were now ready and waiting for New Years Eve.

New Years Eve arrives and we attend the Hawthorn at just befor 8PM (our booking was for 8PM). Upon arrival we 'checked in'. First the table we requested was not avaliable, we were semi ok with that, but got seated in a non desirable seat. We sat down to look at the menu, the set menu was only in sight. The waiter came accross so we asked for the usual menu, "ah" said the waiter, "not serving from that menu".

Two major mistakes were made so we left the Hawthorn, disgruntled and never to return. Make up your own mind folks!
