Too big to fail
|
Restaurant protocol question
We had dinner at dinner at a local place last night with another couple. After dinner, we got a complimentary glass of port along with a small plate of dark chocolate - basically some sort of chocolate bar broken into squares.
The strange thing was after a little while (10 minutes), the waiter came by and asked if we were finished; the wine was gone. We said "sure" so he took the remaining chocolate and served it at another table with their glasses of port. I thought that was weird. Thoughts?

probably a health code violation if you had the plate sitting on your table where you could touch it

Wow, that's very creepy, and almost certainly a no-no.

Great PR that is turning into a disaster and he might no be aware of it.

Was this a health food, hippie-type, place? Those folks tend to be cheapo cheapo and earthy.
. Ha!...and liberal.

This was an Italian place that appears to be trying to move upscale a notch or two.

Teethmarks on the bread? Some of it pre-buttered too?

Really makes you wonder where the chocolate was before it was on your table.
I would not go there ever again...

I eat out a lot, and probably get sick to my stomach 1/3 of the time. This results in a few painful minutes on the loo within an hour or two of eating. I NEVER get sick from food I prepare at home. Does this happen to anyone else?

Are you finished with your lobster bisque? The table next to you hasn't had any. Also, are you using that soup spoon anymore?
How about your cloth napkins? Did you need your own coat back tonight? Seriously, this could be a Seinfeld episode.

possibly they have a clean & sanitary kitchen and this was just an oversight
while I'd not test that myself, if you like them then a word to the owner would be helpful if you hate them, or think they are a danger to the public then contact health dept. |
