Yesterday was my birthday. My hubby asked where I wanted to spend my birthday, so I thought eating pasta at the newly opened train restaurant with a scenic view of the Gugyeonggang River that crosses the Mangyeonggang River would be one for the books.
It is a remodeled abandoned train. On top of that, it is also registered as a modern cultural heritage cultural asset of Korea, so I was excited to make memories more than the pasta there.
Unfortunately, my husband did not like the ambiance. When hopped in, the restaurant was jam-packed on the right side where the picturesque view could be seen. However, the tables on the left were left empty intentionally. The waiters did not even greet us. Not even a cold smile. One of the waiters told us to go outside because there were no tables available. The weather was 4 degrees Celsius so you could imagine how cold it was plus the wind. So went instead to the art store adjacent to the resto. We were told that they would call once there was a table for us. To cut the story short, we waited for half an hour so my husband got pissed because he saw empty seats but he did not receive a call on his phone.
We agreed to go to another place instead. We ate at a buffet resto and my daughter was so happy.

That's the exact word! Unwelcoming. But the place was soothing. I would love to go back to the place to enjoy nature but not to eat at the restaurant.

A really irritating moment on a birthday before getting a good meal. Glad you got a good meal after all.

But their website does not say that customers need to reserve first. Thanks for the greetings!
