Unfortunately, my experience at the restaurant was unpleasant to say the least.
When we ordering, the server must not have heard us adjust our order and ended up bringing us a dish we no longer wanted.
Evidently, their problem solving skills amounted to shoving it on the table without any apology and just insisting that we take it.
And throughout the course of our supper, not once did anyone offer to come by and change our plates, in spite of the fact that by the end of our meal, all of the many bland tastes had unfortunately blended together into one gigantically bland soupy mess.
Needless to say, we were glad to reinforce that gratuities are not mandatory for clearly subpar service.
