| - Yes, I am reviewing a Ruby Tuesday, but I have a valid reason for doing so, so just deal with it.
The boyfriend and I went for a late lunch/early dinner, and I opted to add the salad bar to my meal. As I was loading up my plate with lots of veggies, I noticed that at least half of the grape tomatoes were moldy/rotten. No big deal, veggies spoil easily and maybe no one noticed. here's the problem. I grab one of the staff members (not sure if he was a waiter or host) and say, "Just so you know, there are a lot of moldy tomatoes on the salad bar. You might want to swap them out." What does he do? He just looks at me. So I then say, "it's not a huge deal or anything, I just thought you should know." And he says, "Uhm, ok" and goes on his merry way. When we left the restaurant, I checked out the salad bar and the rotten tomatoes were still there.
Look, I know things happen in restaurants, I'm not naive. But if a customer points out visibly rotting food on your salad bar, you should damn well do something about it.
Perhaps this should have been a warning sign to me, but it wasn't. After spotting the roteen maters, I returned to my table, ate my salad, and ate my lunch giving the place the benefit of the doubt. No exaggeration, within a mere 10 minutes of leaving the restaurant, both the boyfriend and me had horribly upset tummies. We hardly made in home in time.
I think perhaps this particular Ruby Tuesday should be avoided.
