After not being able to have lunch in the hotel we wanted to eat in the last 3 times we went to Hahndorf because it was booked out (you’d think we’d have learnt after the first time wouldn’t you?), we finally booked for lunch today. And after making the special effort to remember to book, I’m not in any hurry to go back.
The food was ok, but the table we were seated at afforded us a lovely view of the men’s toilets. From the position I was sitting in, a glance to the right when someone entered or exited the toilet meant that I could see all the way into the loo. Mmmm urinal fresh. There were quite a lot of tables near the men’s and women’s toilets, and I’m very surprised that they didn’t have some sort of enclosed section near the doors so that you couldn’t see people come in and out. Or at the least, a divider when you open the door so that you can’t see all the way in! I just think it’s a bit gross to place people near the toilets in the first place when they are trying to eat their meal - I thought toilets should be at the back, out of the way? Ah well, cram those sardines into the restaurant I guess.

You should have demanded a better table and put on the BITCH voice. Seriously.

Yeah, guys, it was pretty poor. But we moved to another table after the woman had initially left, so it was ok. She didn’t say anything about it when she came back to take our order, so it wasn’t so bad. But having to sit so close to toilets - ewww.

HA! I’m sorry - it’s just a little funny to me. I’m imagining sitting there and waving at guys in the bathroom. How classy!!

Dinner & a show! Perhaps you should write them a letter… Yeah, I probably wouldn’t either.

oh man, that’s so disappointing. we have a bar with seats way too close to the bogs and we always end up sitting at them, i love the guys who go into the toilet smoking and come out still smoking and you just know that no water has hit their hands, gross man.

Nasty! What a way to kill the appettite. Do they serve tiny portions there? Maybe it’s they’re way to make you less hungry so you don’t complain.

It was a bit like that, Dawn! Luckily I couldn’t actually see anyone doing anything - yuck.
I doubt they’d do anything about it, yaya - one person can’t make a difference
I think the people at The Simpsons would have something to say if I did that, Ken!
If I were to go back there, JaG, I’d make sure I got a table nowhere near the toilets.
If it happened again, Kymmie, I might ask to be moved somewhere totally different, but usually I shy away from confrontation for as long as I can.
A lot of pubs have that, Missfee - it’s gross isn’t it. There are a few guys at work who don’t wash their hands after they’ve been to the loo - it’s horrible.
I think it should be a rule that all toilets in restaurants should be tucked away with no tables near them, Dawn - it’s just so offputting.
Maybe so, Jessica! The meals we got were a decent size, not that I would have been able to concentrate on it too much if we hadn’t moved.
