My husband & I went to this restaurant with two friends at 8.45pm Saturday night. I explained that just my husband and I would be eating as our friends had already been to dinner and had joined us unexpectedly. The waitress said this was fine and offered us an indoor table in their restaurant which was half empty. She explained that only pastas were available. My husband and I were okay with this and ordered their signature seafood pasta and a pizza bread. We also shared two bottles of wine which we brought with us. The meal came and after eating we were handed a bill with a $27 corkage charge. When we queried this, the waitress abruptly told us that we’d been charged $8 corkage for those not eating and $3 for those eating. So not only without notice were our friends being charged $8 (would have been nice for them to mention at the time that we arrived and I explained only my husband and I were eating) my husband and I were charged as one of us not eating because we’d only technically ordered one main and one entree. We live only meters away in Graceville so had we been made aware of this heinous corkage charge we would have simply done takeaway but figured we might as well eat there as the restaurant was half empty, it’s not like we were taking tables from paying customers. It left a really bad taste in our mouths and we will never return to Il Viale which is a shame as up until this experience we frequently went and ate their seafood pasta. From now on we’ll be going to Toco Italiano on Oxley Road – the service and atmosphere is much better, nice enough to make up for not being BYO.
