EFTPOS declined XO

My dining experience at this restaurant six months ago was actually fantastic. The food was great and the service was fantastic; the barman was chatting to us making sure we were always satisfied, as were the polite and equally interested barwomen. However I went there last night with my partner and we sat at the same spot at the bar as we did last time, to which we had a different experience than anticipated. The tapas of pan fried haloumi cheese and some chicken wings were good. We had an El Diablo pizza to share as a main, this was good too however I discovered half-way through that it was missing something - the mozzarella. I felt silly for not realising this earlier and given that nearly half was gone, I didn't feel the need to say anything at this point. Our night was not affected too much by this incident, but the poor inattentive and disinterested service is what did it. I think the only words offered to us all night by one of the three (somewhat depressed) people in front of us was 'what would you like?' when it came time to take our order. I had to ask to order the cocktails and wine, and my water glass was only filled once all night despite being empty for some time. The sad looking girl behind the bar gave my partner an overtly disappointed/pretentious look when she declined more wine, I actually found this distasteful. I didn't feel we had been reserved at all at this point, especially since I spent $200 the night before at XO Super Club (where I highly recommend you go if you haven't!) and I had planned to still order a chocolate pizza for dessert plus coffees and a cognac for myself; but it was here that I decided to finish and end our meal elsewhere, in an attempt to redeem some satisfaction from our evening. Also, there was lots of noise which I hadn't experienced last time. For example cutlery being thrown by staff into the tubs, glasses breaking behind the bar and just general clanging (not sure what from though). This didn't happen at all last time, despite the modest floor space and continuous conversations by many guests. I'm not too happy Melt and I won't be coming back unfortunately, nor recommending you like I had previously; I can only hope those who went under my advice did not encounter an experience like mine last night. I will opt for pizzas at Farina Kitchen & Bar or Sparrow in the future. I was actually happier prior to entering Melt than when I left lol! I would...
