Bummer ending to a perfect night. After having an awesome pizza (like seriously great) I went to pay and was told that the only forms of payment other than cash they accept is Maestro, which as a Californian, I of course don't have. Cash-only businesses aren't bad, that's not the issue here. The issue lies in the communication. It's 2017 - almost 2018 - and a cash-only restaurant - as nice as this one is - is by far the exception; and they should've mentioned that while seating us. I suggested to the staff that a great time to let people know about this is before they order. They disagreed and said that they let people know by... right... placing a Maestro sticker amidst a sea of stickers on one of their windows. By doing that, they say they properly communicated. The waiter even acknowledged that this happens "all the time." Umm... if it happens all the time, then that means the issue needs to be communicated better. Anyway, super frustrating. The nearest ATM is across the river about a 10-minute round-trip errand tacked on to what would've been a great experience. Also, just a side note for Americans... they charge 3.50 euro for plain, regular, non-sparkling water. Yes, the same price as a glass of wine there.
