Hello. My husband and I had what we thought was going to be a wonderful dinner at R**s in Newport Beach. We arrived a bit early for our reservation so we decided to start with a cocktail before entering the dining room. The group event coordinator which I know from previously having rented a private room in the past said hello and was very nice. We entered the lounge area; it was quite empty but it was early. There were several servers standing around the service area by the TV.
Our night started with three servers and a sales coordinator in the corner swearing and talking about getting drunk and their plans for the night. I thought that after several occasions at R**s where all of our experiences were good that the class level would be a little higher. We were seated quickly; thank God we could not listen to any more filth. The wait staff and busser were very attentive. The food was very good yet nevertheless outclassed by the trash in the bar that they call a manager. We will no longer allow R**s to handle our private events and nor should you. It is in the careless hands of a drunken pirate.
See the news clip below about a cook who allegedly contaminated a customer’s steak with hair because the diner complained that it wasn’t done right. A coworker said that it was a specific type of hair! Although he originally denied the charges, the cook recently was sentenced to jail.
After a hectic week, my husband and I were looking forward to having a romantic dinner at a Thai restaurant, nibbling on tangy food and whispering sweet nothings to each other. The candle on our table glowed softly in the darkened dining room, creating a perfect atmosphere for a sensuous night of romance.
Much to our shock, we discovered that we had dinner guests accompanying us – dozens of them! Creepy, icky roaches scurried about the table top, peering at us behind the plates and silverware. The mood turned immediately from romance to horror. I let out a scream when I felt coarse, spiny insect feet bristle against my legs. The owner rushed to the table. She blamed the bug problems on the restaurant next door. Of course, we didn’t finish our meals (nor did we pay for them). The owner gave us a coupon for our next visit, but we never want to go back and dine with the uninvited guests.
Many chicken wing restaurants sport a similar theme – Hooters, Mugs ‘n Jugs, Melons, Bazookas, Knockers…well, you get the point. Sales at these establishments total over a billion dollars a year. Sometimes, however, expectations might not meet the reality as this Mad TV video shows:
