バレエを観る前に食事を取ろうとして、オペラハウス内のレストランを予約。 希望のところは、予約が取れず、ここにする。 (2ヶ月前) オペラハウスの入り口にインド人の年配男性スタッフがいたので、レストランの場所を聞くと、すごくそっけない。 ロンドン滞在時にすごく不思議だったのが、白人の人達は感じ良いが、他の人種はあまり感じ良くないのだ.米国と反対だ。 何故だろうと不思議。 さて、レストランは三階にある。 見晴らし良く、コンテンポラリーな感じ。 最初に担当してくれたのは、若い女のスタッフ。 だが、途中で男性スタッフに変わった。 通されたテーブルだが、床が真っ直ぐでないのか、テーブルの足が均等でないのか、グラグラしている。 下を見ると、テーブルの足に留めてあったのだろうな、紙が取れていた。 男性スタッフにその事を言うが、彼は忙しく、暫く、グラグラのテーブルで食事を取る事になる。 二皿のコースを予約していた。 美味しかったのだが、全然印象には残らない。 男性スタッフは感じ良かったが、 お値段を考えると、なんかカジュアル過ぎる気がする。($200くらい)

Such a shame but this restaurant just doesnt do it's location justice and I cannot justify the bill again for a return visit.
