| - I had always been a 5 star fan of yellowfin, until one day.
I am probably one of the more tolerant restaurant customers giving servers, and restaurants the benefit of the doubt. It's true that sometimes servers have bad days and are grumpy, and that's no problem, we've all been there. There are also sometimes mistakes in food, and likewise, a chef or sushi chef could be having a bad day.
Still... when I was serve edamame in my lunch bento... and there were literally maggots coming out of the edamame... i was pretty horrified. It was definitely one of those situations where you know the food is old. The edamame was lifeless, brown, old. And to my surprise, there were maggots in it having at it.
So being as tempered as possible, I alerted the server who apologized and took it away. I was expecting one of two things... 1, the server (or owner) will come to the table, apologize, and comp my meal. 2, nothing will happen until I receive the check, and the meal will be comped on there with some kind of apology note.
By the time the check came, neither of the two happened. Giving the restaurant one more chance to make right their wrong, I politely asked if I could get my meal comped since there were maggots in my food. The server responded politely that the owner said there was no way for anyone to know there were maggots in the edamame. Even though the edamame was all pretty much opened up with maggots coming out of them when it reached the table in the first place.
So... there you go, I gave every chance for them to make right their wrong. Suffice it to say that getting maggots in your food is a totally unacceptable situation, they took it 3 steps too far by doing nothing about it before the check, on the check, or after the check. By principle alone, and from fear that the rice, or even fish are likely aging beyond their safe tolerance levels, yellowfin gets a 0 star if I could give them one for committing egregious health code violations, and donig nothing about it.
