I had noticed the recently opened Tivo in Kennedy town over the last couple of weeks and decided today, being a public holiday, would be a great opportunity to give it a try by taking my mom to try their Brunch menu.I had also noticed previously that with their large open french doors, alot of customers previously sat by the edge with their dogs, so thought it would a great opportunity to dine with my dog at a potentially new dog friendly midday eatery.Upon the second I set foot in the restaraun
I had also noticed previously that with their large open french doors, alot of customers previously sat by the edge with their dogs, so thought it would a great opportunity to dine with my dog at a potentially new dog friendly midday eatery.
Upon the second I set foot in the restaraunt I was confronted by a large western member of the staff (possibly the manager or maitre d). When asked if we could sit by the french doors with our dog we were met with a very stern, aggresive and absolutely non-welcoming response from this member of staff stipulating absolutely no dogs allowed inside. I understood this, and indicated my dog would be sat outside, much like I have seen many previous customers do in the past and was again given further warnings about the dog stepping a foot inside the restaraunt.
We took our seats and this member of staff did not greet us any further and in fact welcome us in any way. It was as if we had insulted him. He did not speak to us for the rest of our meal - this opening exchange left a very sour taste for me and my mum, before we had even eaten. I understand no dogs are allowed on premises, but a more reasonable and welcoming tone would have been more helpful.
We ordered our food which arrived quickly. My margarita pizza tasted good, yet was very small. My mom's scrambled eggs and salmon was also fairly good, but not great. Our flat whites were not really flat whites. The frothed milk was not velvety, in fact it barely had any froth ontop and the coffee tasted bland.
The lady who served us, was on the other hand very friendly, attentive and helpful. However, the member of staff who greeted us in the manner he did the very moment we first stepped into Tivo left a lasting first impression which will no doubt result in me never setting foot in the place ever again.
