Bengaluru (April 17): Parents of an 8-year old were perplexed to see their child drinking alcohol in a good restaurant in Bengaluru. Supriya Jambunathan had gone for dinner with her family when the hotel staff by mistake gave her child an alcoholic drink! The lady took to Facebook to express her disappointment with the service of the place. The particular restaurant is on Residency Road where the family visited on Sunday night.

In the Facebook post, she mentions that they were not happy with the service given. The family had called for four mocktails, the non-alcoholic drinks. One of the drinks which came on their table was very bitter in taste. Her son tasted it and she suspected it had alcohol. The drink was immediately returned. Her post on the social media site reads, "I accompanied my son to the dessert counter where I heard the bartender telling our waiter that the order he was given was LIT and so obviously he sent out an alcoholic drink. Imagine my horror. I had just watched my 8-year-old drink alcohol! At a reputed and so-called star hotel like the Chancery Pavilion." The Long Island Ice Tea, is a cocktail that typically has considerable alcohol content.

The manager of the hotel did apologise to Supriya and the family and they also took care of the bill. The hotel has replied on Supriya's post which stating that the matter is being investigated internally and everyone concerned has been notified of the incident. But this is not the first time such an incident has been experienced by Supriya's family. Some years ago she faced a similar horror when her mother during  a buffet had taken a 'Veg Biryani' but after she ate a little, she released there were little pieces inside too. She has mentioned this in her post as well. "I am not sure if I will lodge a complaint with the Consumer Forum. When I told them too, their only response was to say sorry, and they did not appear mortified at all. I find it atrocious that they could say sorry, waive my bill and think it is all right," Supriya told The New Indian Express.
