Any idea if they are accepting credit cards yet?

Rosemary,
I started to ask this question earlier but I was uncertain as to where the OP actually sat and I'm thinking mine was probably the post you're referencing and who found the place so noisy. We assumed it had to do with the addition of extra indoor tables but I am very interested as to where the poster sat and the current findings, too.
Please note, the night we had the issue we sat inside and early it was fine but as the place filled up it got louder and then the rains came and they closed the plastic drapes, which made it horrible. (We have been there on other occasions under other owners and had this happen, but it never seemed that loud.....) There was also a very busy and large bar crowd that night. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
Respectfully,

Thanks, Deb. Perhaps they've improved things since we were there since all four of us had the same issues.
Re the CCs, it's starting to sound as though perhaps they've decided not to go that route after all. Or perhaps it takes this long on the island to open a cc account? They've been open on the Dutch side for at least six weeks now and certainly could have planned ahead to have this service up and running if they were of a mind to accept them at all. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Thank you, wingman and Dave.
Glad the cc question is resolved and they are currently able to accept them once more. Our December experience was that of one very incredible dinner so it's nice to know the quality hasn't changed. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

The name of the restaurant is Mario Bistrot. The website is MarioBistrot.com and I have just redirected the website with the old name to the new one. The new restaurant has the same number of seats in the restaurant area, but has a bar and a few high tables in the bar area. It also has parking and security. Mario was very happy explaining this to me last night. My newsletter will have a review of the wonderful dinner we had last night.

If you scroll to Turnover Tax in this link it explains it. It is basically a 5% tax that is supposed to be included in prices but some restaurants have been known to list it as a separate tax on your bill.

weeks5051 said: Incluse means included so if the turnover tax is incluse, then it's included and not added to the bill. At least by my interpretation. That's what I thought. Thanks everyone.

If it is included, there should be no mention of it on the bill at all.They are located on the Dutch side now, they need to write their bills so customers can understand them.

I agree and also with islandgem. There really should be no mention of it but it was mentioned so I attempted to explain not only what it was but how it is SUPPOSED to be handled.
