| - I eat out a LOT. I travel for my job and when I'm home...well, let's just say that my other half and I do not have similar tastes in food so, it is easier to go out than to cook. At many of these restaurants, a manager will come by with the ubiquitous, "is everything okay", not really getting or receiving an honest response. I'm used to this and I never really gave it much thought. Until I went to Letty's. I got the UnMeatloaf (I'm a vegetarian) and the "Mister" got fish and chips. Mine came with broccolli casserole (more casserole than broccolli but good) and mashed potatoes (yum!). I am not ashamed to say I scraped the plate to get every single bit of my meal. It was TASTY. Mister enjoyed his potato wedges (as evidenced by their quick removal from his plate) but wasn't a huge fan of the fish. The menu said "beer battered" but he said he could taste the beer. I found that a bit odd but...okay. So, back to the "is everything okay" part of our story. As we were finishing our dinner, the owner (Letty) came by the table and asked how we enjoyed the meal. My response was obvious, I had nothing left on my plate! Mister said it was okay. Then, the unusual happened. She actually looked at what was left on his plate and asked if he had not liked the fish. He told her about the beer taste and she mentioned that it was beer battered. He said he understood but just wasn't a big fan. So....she takes the plates away and comes back with our bill and says that she could not let him pay for a meal he didn't enjoy and that she took it off, hoping that he would come back again and try something else. I was flabbergasted. An owner/manager who actually cares what someone thinks? Wow. Needless to say, yes, we will go back and we will try something else and we will keep doing so until Mister is happy. (Actually, reading the reviews on here, I think the Honey Pecan Chicken will be next on the list!)
