What you have written does not add up and you've made several leaps of logic and false claims. Your responses to me and all the other yelpers who have provided honest feedback that was not favourable to you are incredibly pretentious and arrogant.
Using the excuse of 'organic' does not justify the kinds of prices you are charging for the food that you are serving. I've noticed that you have been regurgitating this same argument again and again to anyone on yelp who has criticized your restaurant. While I am well aware that price adjustments to cover the expense of quality organic ingredients is necessary, it is not to the extent that you claim. My family, like you, owns a restaurant that only uses the freshest of ingredients including grain fed cattle, free range organic chicken and certified organic new zealand lamb and we are still able to keep our prices within reason. Similar to your establishment, we too have notable celebrities including Bob Dylan, Dan Akroyd, David Usher and the Tragically Hip who frequent our establishment. Unlike you however, if one of our customers has a criticism or complaint about our restaurant, we would not be so pretentious as to use that celebrity's tastes to add credence to the quality of the food at our restaurant against a regular customers point of view; that is just arrogant. Whether Nahlah Ayed enjoyed the food at your restaurant or not is a redundant and cheap argument to use in defence of your restaurant against me. I am sure Nahlah herself would be disappointed with your elitist leap of logic.
Although I agree that I should have been more specific in my review, weather I had the khoobideh or another dish does not lessen the credibility of my experience at your restaurant. I am speaking of MY dining experience. I cannot comment on those other dishes, nor is it an expectation that I comment on these other items. Accusing me of being 'dishonest' is disproportionate and underhanded.
Similarly, whether I enjoyed the food at Super Khorak (which you sneakily found out by doing a background check into my yelping activities) or not is also a completely presumptuous and redundant point. When I mentioned other Persian restaurants I was not equating your establishment to Super Khorak ---which is a completely different kind of place--- rather it was to other comparable fine dining Persian restaurants in the city. Also, I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about when you write this "we also do not bring you the compulsory..." and so on... this made no sense to me at all, although yet again you do sound very arrogant.
I find it very insulting the way you described the actions of my friend in such a dishonest manner. My friend simply asked why it would not be possible for us to switch to another table. As I mentioned, we did not hold that against you because we recognized that there were several reservations. This completely false idea that he tried to 'bamboozle' his way to another table and 'belittle' the waiter is absolutely ridiculous. We had a pleasant experience with our waiter, and at no point did he express frustration at our request. All this proves again is the kind of cheap, personally insulting and underhanded tactics that you use to defend your restaurant. It is pretty obvious by now that you have made a habit out of insulting anyone who gives honest feedback about your restaurant on yelp.
You are by far the most pretentious and arrogant owner of a restaurant I have ever come into contact with and it is clear by now that many others feel the same way about your poor service.
