Swensens Restaurant

[buds]

I agree with you Andaiz.. the Suntec wan not so family friendly nor are

they the customer-is-always-right kind.. :roll: .. Clinical and critical. B4
you even ask, their facial expressions already tell you it would most
likely be.. a NO. Nothing more, nothing less.. just as-is. If you are
just there for the food then it wouldn't matter.. but service with a
smile (and some off-requests... ).. can honestly forget it..

We've been to other outlets where they are extremely accomodating,
like changing the smiley potatoes to fries when they ceased the hash
browns.. but down at Suntec, it'd always be.. that flat no.

Same experience each time we go there.. quite sad since there's
usually a nice range of food for parents and kiddies at Swensens
but we would rather go to family friendly Pizza Hut when we're
there.. more cosy & also more attentive to the family's needs.

how's the Swenson at Parkway ?



I have only been there once about 2 years back,

- one of the main course was extremely late
- long wait for the ice-cream after the food
- super long wait for the bill, I went to the cashier but was told \"politely\" to wait at my table :roll:

and yes, it was dinner peak hour.

tree nymph:

but i didn't receive any emails yet from them this year...???

Was informed they were trying to go paper-free so everything would
be via e-mail. Beats me.. i have yet to receive any newsletters for the
kiddies but they usually will e-mail to me their latest promotions and
discounts.

tree nymph:

ok, going to bring DS1 to swensons tonite to claim his free sundae...

The outlet we usually haunt (Bt Panjang Plaza) are the ones who usually
remind us that we can claim our ice-cream for the month. Once, the usual
manager attended to me when i was settling the bill and mentioned that
she noticed we missed a month's sundae (cos no stamp) and she shared
that we can just come up to the counter and let them know that we're
just there to claim the free ice-cream... no need to specifically dine there
to qualify for it. I dunno about other outlets but in case you don't wanna
get disappointed once you're there, you can make a quick call to them
(outlet nearest to you) and confirm that no purchase is required. JMHO.

Andaiz:

They usually won't but I must say swenson's quite a survivor!

Oh that I so agree :celebrate:

On a separate note ...

Remember Ponderosa? I used to frequent the one at Plaza Sing. They closed down. They used to have good deals - think it was $10 for salad bar and main course. And their salad bar was extensive :drool:

Another one was Sizzler. Didn't like that though. Don't know if its still ard. Think there was one in Suntec .... :?
