The food was, as always, absolutely over the top outstandingly delicious. The chef is world class. The service was also, as always, absolutely stupendous… Excellent in every way. However, we were seated next to a table with 2 male and female couples, the 2 men of which were absolutely obnoxious individuals, with no sense of socially acceptable behavior. They were loud and obnoxious, and were three sheets to the wind inebriated. It appears as though they arrived in a state of drunkenness. That being said, the noise level and foul language reminded me of my time spent in the locker room of a rugby team. They were actually yelling as though they were in a sports bar. And when I say yelling, I mean at the very top of their lungs. It was an unmatched experience of inappropriate behavior at a restaurant known for fine dining. We will, however, return to Riel. I realize times are tough, and that the restaurant needs to make money… However I would’ve expected at least a 25 to 35% reduction in our tab given that that management expressed concerns as we were leaving about the guests who were out of control. That being said, there was no remuneration for our suffering. And suffering it was! As a word of advice to Reil management, I would suggest disciplining your guests when they are causing a social disturbance. If their parents did not teach them respect, then it is our responsibility as business owners and members of the community to put people in their place when it’s called for. It’s called social responsibility.
