Bad meal...What would(or do) you do?
After church yesterday, I went to a local bistro w/ my dd and dh. My main dish was less than stellar. When the chef came to table to ask if the food was to our liking, I politely pointed out the things I DID like (veggies), then went on to point out that the cornish hen I ordered was quite dry. We had never been there before and I have worked in the industry, so I understand that things can and do go wrong. So, when asked if I would like him to prepare another bird, I said yes. When this was presented, it was better, but still not great. I made do with the veggies and what was salvageable (dark meat). I did not say anything to the staff in spite of the lackluster retry (they didn't ask), but my husband felt I should have been much more vocal. My gut feeling was simply not to return to this particular establishment.
How do you handle dining difficulties when you don't get the service/cuisine you seek?
