I’ve hesitated to write this review. I dined at Apoema Bistro on 1st September last with my sister. In terms of Covid I am in the extremely vulnerable category & my sister is a nurse. Both of us are fully vaccinated. When I booked our...table, the email I received from the owners, confirming the reservation, apologetically pointed out that we would need proof of vaccination. I confirmed that we would have our digital certs with us. Therefore I was stunned by the fact that, upon arrival, we were seated immediately & were not asked for our certs. There were two other tables occupied, one directly behind ours & close enough that the backs of our chairs were in contact. I felt uncomfortable at the fact that we weren’t asked for certs so when our menus were brought I said that I assumed the waitress would want to see them. She just said “oh sure” or words to that effect so we each showed her the certs on our phones. What really disturbed me, however, was the fact that while we were almost finished our meal, a group of four that appeared to be “walk-ins” arrived & were seated with no request for or production of certs. Our food was ok, no vegetarian starter option & only one vegetarian main which was too spicy for my sister’s taste. Overall, however, our evening was not comfortable as we felt the lack of adherence to guidelines had put us at risk.More
