Restaurant Complaint Letter

Is this ok to send? I'm more irritated that they added gratuity onto my bill....

I've enjoyed eating at ___________ for close to 10 years now. Tonight however it was not the case.

I'm not one to usually write or comment on food service as there are many elements that come into play but tonight's overall experience warranted this email.

The server wasn't knowledgeable about the menu, was not attentive, forgot the ketchup on multiple trips, and for some weird reason charged gratuity on our bill for a 4-top. I tip 20% for bad service and that’s what she would have ended up with tonight but I left the amount she added on. I thought she might have been new. Is this something that _________does now? I cannot get over how weird the experience was tonight….only because it’s not typical.

Our food was also poorly done. The lettuce on the quesadilla was brown and wilted, the sweet potato fries were cold, and the breading on the chicken fingers (which might be one of my favorite items on any menu) was soggy.

No one complained though. We are pretty low maintenance. It wasn’t till I got home and talked to my fiancé and mentioned the poor dining experience that she spoke up. We both thought that it was pretty uncharacteristic of your past and wanted to bring it to your attention.

To be honest, I would focus on the forced gratuity and not so much on the quality of service, even though it does sound like it sucked.

Random, but this weekend I went to two different restaurants in Hartford where my waiter just forgot my drink order entirely... twice... despite bringing everyone else at the table the drinks they ordered. I swear I am not rude or anything, I have no idea what was up with my luck this weekend lol

I hate when people are rude to servers. If something is wrong, I'll let them know but I'm very polite about it. You never really know who's at fault for fuged up food.

yep. but it is her fault for forgetting the table, bringing soup with more poo on the saucer than in the bowl, and the CATSUP!!!!

yeah... I get frustrated because my future mother in law is sometimes a little testy with servers and it embarrasses the hell out of me.

yeah understandable... I suppose it's kind of like, if the service was good you wouldn't have minded the included gratuity?

Agreed, sometimes you get a bad server. She may not even realize it either, some people are just stupid, or haven't been trained properly. I tend to deal with things that aren't really a big deal rather than making the server run circles. I worked in a ton of restaurants during my younger years, I know what it's like.

When I'm at a restaurant and I see a table near me being assholes to servers (it's sickening how often you see this too), I usually go out of my way to talk about those people in a not so nice manner with my voice projected in their general direction.....discretely of course.

I would have still thought it was weird since there was 4 of us.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
