I just came in this restaurant.. My partner made a mistake by transferring the amount of money you’re normally charging if we are paying with an international credit card .. instead of refund us the money we’ve been asked to take much more drinks. We didn’t want too but we were forced to take some bottles of water .. What is this kind of business attitude.., I’m really upset by this thief’s attitude .. believe me I won’t advice your establishment anymore to nobody….
