A major incident has been avoided, Mr. Kumar said. He said though it was too early to know the cause of the fire, the traders burnt heaps of rubbish near their shops, and there might be a possibility that a spark would have caught onto something and caused the flare. This is the third incident of fire in the district this week, following a major flare in a similarly congested Valiyangadi and a second one at Elathur.

Portofino Italian Restaurant We have been here couple times before but have not been on a holiday. Thought we would go again as a family for dinner. However,basket nike tn, we got seated upon arrival waited for awhile and still no service but lots of waiters/waitresses standing around. Finally I asked a waitress if we could order our meals and she said yes and then she disappeared another 5mins and then had to ask some guy again and he served us. We only had 4 glasses of juices with our meals which came to $158 and then had to pay the surcharge of $31 with a total of $189. The surcharge of $31 is about the price of one meal. 31st December 2013 Today I made the unfortunate decision to have lunch at the Portofino Restaurant in the Viaduct Basin in Auckland. At between 11:30 and 11:45 there was no one there to seat anyone,tn requin pas cher, but there was also no sign. The sign said to wait to be seated so I went and found someone to check if the restaurant was in fact open and he said and seated us. Others came in after us and as no one was around, they seated themselves. After being seated it too approx 10 minutes for someone to serve us. From being seated it took approx 20 mins to get a glass of water, at which point I asked if our garlic bread would be coming soon. was the response, 10 minutes later I went and found someone as our server was no where to be found and asked again. We were then given the wrong bread ( I had asked for cheese on the garlic bread and there was none), fine, what ever, no big deal then we noticed that the table next to ours had cheese on their bread, so I mentioned to a passing waiter the mistake and requested him to make sure the extra cheese charge was removed from our bill he just turned away without saying anything. We waited another 15 minutes and 1 asking later for our food to arrive. Very nice food. Our server was again no where to be found, so after sitting there with empty plated for 15 mins I asked the same waiter as last time if we could please have our bill. 10 mins later a completely different waiter came to fill our water glasses,basket nike, at which point I asked her to send the manager over. She make a comment to the waiter I asked for the invoice, and I asked her if he was the manager and she laughingly said today He then came over with the bill, at which point I said have to say that this is one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had Much to my surprise he simply shrugged his shoulders. At which point I let loose on him. He simply did not care,longchamp, I told him he customer service sucked, he shrugged again. Is this really the kind of service your chain wishes to provide? I have eaten at hundreds of restaurants around the world and really never encountered this kind of attitude. No sorry was offered, no offer of a dessert or coupon, nothing. His only excuse was that the kitchen had not been ready to serve us. I asked why the kitchen has to be ready to serve a glass of tap water, and why did they seat us if they were not open, again he shrugged. Seated at 8pm. Waited for service, none arrived. Finally caught attention of a waitress and asked for menus. Ordered drinks and meal at same time. Drinks eventually arrived. Lucky we ordered with meal as we were never asked if we wanted anything more to drink again and then we waited. As we waited we watched people who arrived after us being served both food and beverages. After an hour and a half we asked when we might expect our meals. Told 5 minutes. Turns out 5 minutes is actually 30 minutes. Two hours after we were seated the first meal out of the four ordered arrived at the table and then we waited. Eventually the salads arrived. After another 4 or 5 minute two other meals arrived and finally after another 5 minutes the last meal arrived. The food when we did get it was bland, under seasoned and lacking ingredients. A salad priced over $11 contained 3 pieces of tomato and 3 pieces of cucumber, 2 olives and lots of lettuce. Totally underwhelming. Pizzas lacked toppings priced, insufficient staff and lacking in service. Won return when there are so many more places to eat in the Viaduct who can offer quality food and service. Was really quite disappointed with this experience. When arrived the atmosphere was good and looked like a nice but busy place. We ordered and it took about 50 minutes to receive the food and ages when asking for water. The service wasn that great. At first we didn know the waiters have set places they attending to, but when we asked another one waiter for something, they just shrugged and pointed to the one that was supposed to be servicing us. Only reedemable things are the good viaduct location and taste of the food. The al penne salmone I ordered was yum, however I would not pay $24.90 again for that experience and just a plate of good pasta. We went to Portofino about 2 months ago for the first time. We had our 2 young children with us,longchamps, and were very happy to see a great kids menu. The service was great and the food looked yummy. I ordered a vegetarian pasta which would have been perfect if it wasn for the pepper in the sauce my fault I should have asked for my meal with out. Sooooo when we returned on Sunday evening I was sure to ask for the same meal with out Pepper,air max, the waitress assured me that the meal did not contain pepper questioned her as it had had pepper last time. She doubly assured me there was no pepper. the meals arrive looking great, and I was starving, so I was very disappointed to find large whole and crushed pepper corns thru the sauce. When It was bought to the waitress attention she told me at first they were whole garlic seeds??? but did in the end concede. She spoke to the Waiter and he did come and offer a very nice apology. But no replacement? so no dinner for me. We were presented with the bill, as my full plate was cleared and offered another apology, only to find that I was expected to pay for my uneaten meal. I eat out 2 3 times a week, in Fab restaurants all over the country, we will not go again, and will tell others not to as well. We went to the Takapuna branch. The quality of the food was very low. I ordered a pizza, the one thing you expect to be fantastic being an Italian Restaurant. The toppings were scarce,nike requin tn, the layer of cheese was basically non existent and overall a lousy pizza. The only saving grace was a cheese shaker which I doused all over the pizza to give it some flavour. I will never eat at this chain again and I will tell every person I know to stay away. When I went to the counter,nike tn, I could see the chefs they all looked angry and as though they did not want to be there. Who could blame them? We didn want to be there! The only decent thing we had in the evening was the service that the waiter provided. She was nice and friendly. Terrible summarises the experience we had because it was everything from bad customer service to slow foods to bad seating. One goes to a place like this expecting to pay a ridiculous bill but that demands an impeccable experience. The front of house is not a peoples person,tn pas cher. We were greeted with you want to come in like some kind of a dodgy brothel. Waiter left half way through our order. We had to get manager permission to move to a warmer seat even though there were only about 5 more other patron dinning at the time. There were no salt/paper available on the table. It was so cold inside. We have been Aucklanders for many years now and trust me when I say that this place was one of the worst we had ever been to,tn requin pas cher. Do not let the brand and the location fool you. The food was quite good though. It is such a shame that the chefs effort is wasted by the waiters who have no idea what they are doing. It is definitely a one that you will never forget for all the wrong reasons. Place is empty for a reason,basket nike home. If you love bad service, arrogant staff and average overpriced food and your happy night ruined, then this is the place to come. In all my years living in Auckland I never come across service like this. It pretty bad too that we picked this place to celebrate our 7 year anniversary!!! So when we first walked in place was bare. We asked the front head of staff if we can sit at a booth facing the water, but he refused and he shoved us in a wee cold corner. As I spoke to the waiter about the water he walked off as I was speaking to him. We asked if we could be moved to a booth again and they said they were reserved and gave us the worst booth where the door was so we were cold. Later on we saw the guy sitting people who just walked through without a reservation so I guess we weren pretty enough for him to sit at the booths. We ordered, took forever for the food to come. Pepperoni pizza was really nice. The pasta alfredo was bland needed salt and you can get it twice the price and double the portion at la portchetta. Eye fillet was good but plating was poor. My partner wanted it rare but the waiter kept pushing him for medium rare (??) The waiter came round to ask for pepper but he put it in my pasta before I could even speak and I happen to hate pepper!! When we left I said thank you and good night to the head of staff who SO RUDELY in the most pissed voice was like Ok ok bye. Honestly owner if you are reading this, you need to fire that guy. Believe me, your restaurant wouldn be so empty. I recently visited Portofino with friends, unaware of the ignorant, disgusting service and terrible food that would be awaiting us. While we were seated and made to wait 20 minutes before we could even order a drink or even be acknowledged by staff, we innocently opened the water that sat on our table as you normally would. I mean, what kind of restaurant doesn have free water? Unfortunately it wasn till we were paying the bill that we were informed that the water did in fact cost $7.50 a bottle. After waiting 20 minutes for service, a rude and uptight waitress approached. After sending our meal requests to the kitchen, we were then gifted with the food of Portofino. What looked like vomit on a plate made it way over. As thrilling as it sounds, I was myself, not actually that thrilled. me, when will my salad be coming? my friend asked the waitress Ellen as he sat puzzled, confused about life. only have two hands, mate Ellen answered as she walked off to sit on her ass again instead of doing her job. As we all sat and shoveled terrible Italian food into our mouths, Ellen returned with a motive. Loathing life, Ellen began to remove our plates from the table before we had even finished indulging in Auckland worst food. I always thought my heart would break and never mend over something like this happening, however, in a way, Ellen was doing us a favour. It saved us from eating over priced shit. As we winded the night up, I pondered the events of the night and came to the sudden conclusion that the alcohol was the only highlight of Portofino because at least you can mess up a glass of cheeky vino. But,basket nike pas cher, I sure Portofino will find a way. Worst dining experience of my life. I have never been so dissatisfied with a meal before that I felt the need to complain. This time I did. We waited way too long for our meals to arrive and when they finally did my eye fillet was bland, under seasoned and not cooked medium rare as I had ordered. I complained to an arrogant man in a suit, said that my steak was overcooked and not pink as it should be.相关的主题文章：
