On Friday, 12 June 09, me
and my friends were having a great dinner at this Lebanese
restaurant, SANOBAR @ The Pier. In the midst of the belly dancing,
a man from next door outlet called Hannibal came and throw out
one of our empty seat. He then instructed his waiter to come and
shove our table away. We, being in the midst of our dinner were
aghast and appalled by their behaviour. I shouted out twice “put
down the table” but the waiter refused to listen, lift up our
tables, shoved it to the side, thereby hurting my friend’s finger.
We called for the police, and we decided to take this men who
shockingly was the owner from HANNIBAL, a Croatian, to court
for causing hurt, hurling verbal abuse and
threats.
Apparently after the
investigation, we came to realise that we were sitting on this spot
right in between a column shared by SANOBAR and Hannibal. SANOBAR
was fully packed with patrons and Hannibal was only 20% full.
There was no reason for him to fight for that space at that time.
The Croatian did it out of pure spite and jealousy. His behaviour
is uncouth, pathetic, despicable and disrespectful. He totally lost
control of the situation, his emotion, and the way he handled his
staff.
The owner from Hannibal is
such an embarrassment to the restaurant. With his
management, I doubt the service or food @ Hannibal will be of any
good. I will not recommend anyone of you to even come near that
restaurant, though I will definitely be going back to SANOBAR for
their belly dancing workshop!
