We were staying at our home from home - Rouge on Rose - for our 10th year - and had dinner booked at an exclusive restaurant - Nobu at the One and Only Hotel.
Since I am still unable to set up an uber account - refer to a couple of posts from January 2017 for the story - I booked a taxi through Bolt, although I may not have examined all the options - it was very cheap!
We were picked up by a very friendly and competent driver in a brown Ford Focus!! which had covered a lot of miles. It was only as we arrived at the hotel - and a pair of uniformed doormen rushed to open the car doors for us - that we noticed the three cracks across the width of the windscreen!
Having settled into our seats in the bar for a pre-dinner cocktail, LP chose a bramble gin drink while I settled for my usual Negroni. Linda's drink looked a bit like a blackberry slushie and after a sip or two she declared herself unsatisfied - shades of the 'what the f*** is that' incident in Kleinmond a few years ago.
On checking, our waitress confirmed that the mixologist had made a mistake and served her an alcohol-free concoction which included a bramble syrup but no gin!
And that was before we reached the restaurant!!
