Went to Gourmet Burger Kitchen over the weekend. Mam ordered a glass of house white (large). It was not a huge glass but bigger than the small glasses you usually get.
Anyway got the bill, shocked to see the glass of wine at €8.35. Crazy Money for a burger joint in a shopping centre. Had left but decided to check the menu on the way out. Noticed the wine charged for was the most expensive on the menu.
Went back and asked girl at the counter which was their house wine - to which the reply was " we dont have one". I asked why were we not told that when we ordered a house wine - reply was - did you ask for Savignon - no I asked for house white. Well, we gave the most popular wine (popular for who I wonder)!
If they had said they dont have a house wine, we would have picked one ourselves - but to just automatically give you the dearest option is not good practice in my opinion. As far as I am aware that is more expensive than wine by the glass in the likes of Roly's Bistro.
Hands up it is our own fault for not checking the prices - but I wont be caught there again, so just be careful!
