My partner & I both ordered dishes with chips. The young waitress came to ask my partner if he wanted ketchup. She completed ignored me like I didn't exist. My partner said "yes", and I thought she will bring ketchup for the table. She got the ketchup, and put it near the table's edge on my partner's side, for him exclusively.
I was surprised, and then I looked around the venue and realised that I was the odd man out. I was the only person who is not Anglo-looking. Everyone in the venue is white Anglo. It would be illegal for them to advertise the venue as "whites only"; so I guess by making me unwelcome, they are making a point?
I then requested for ketchup; and it took a very long time for it to come out. You would think that pouring ketchup shouldn't take more than a minute. It was at least 5 minutes. Goodness knows what they put in my ketchup. I didn't use it. They later brought out my dessert, and I left it on the table without touching it. I don't trust them. The young waitress could've spat on it for all I know.
I guess I should say sorry to disturbing the racial harmony of the venue. Great place if you want an exclusively White Anglo venue to go in the multicultural Inner West of Melbourne.
