Hey accymad, sounds like you had really bonor of a time during your visit to the Oaklea. I would expect these kind of things happening with a new establishment. Maybe a better way of addressing the issue would have been to P.M. Accyjay. Especially with him being an Accyweb mate and all.
That would have given him and opportunity to explain, apologize, make ammends, etc. If you were then not satisfied, letting others know would have been (IMO) a bit more approriate. If the Oaklea gave you satisfaction you could have then stated that also.
I imagine it'll take awhile for all the kinks to work out and then the Oaklea will only have to face "normal" problems!
Not a Sermon, Just a Thought!
