We weren't expecting much - we knew choosing a chain restaurant in a tourist trap the week before Christmas wasn't going to see us given an experience much beyond the basic, but we hadn't recalibrated enough, unfortunately.
First, I must make it clear that the greet and wait staff were wonderful, especially given the seething masses attempting to get fed in the restaurant - very polite, very quick, very helpful and very professional.
But the sheer number of people in the place made for a miserable experience - there must have been a couple of hundred people crammed in to the three floors, and the noise and heat that this implied.
More disappointingly, if you're being charged eye-boggling prices - there's the tourist mark-up you'd expect - you'd at least hope for edible food. But the potato skins tasted more of the ground they had been grown in than potato, and the toppings were stingy. I ended up scraping the cheese off the spud, but eleven bucks for a handfull of cheese, served in something akin to a chicken coop? Tourists are easy pickings, sure, but TGI could still make a massive profit without damaging their reputation, surely?
