                      Well that was an unmitigated disaster. I made a reservation for me and my girlfriend to go to a fine dining restaurant. That involves her spending two hours getting ready and both of us excited to visit a great restaurant. I spent the extra money for a taxi, because I was not going to be worried or distracted that I needed to drive. All this was fine. The rest? We arrived 5 minutes before our reservation at the resort. They wouldn’t let us enter while they called to confirm our reservation. The guts returned to the car after several minutes to confirm the spelling of my name. I also showed my reservation confirmation from Opentable. He returned to tell us that the restaurant was closed. Then made the taxi BACK OUT of the resort. Now we are in the middle of nowhere, completely dressed up, in a $40 round trip taxi to go ... nowhere. No follow up call. No apology. Just terrible.
