An entertaining food blog with restaurant dining disaster stories
There is a guy who has been a friend of mine for four years, but recently it has started to grow into something more. We always meet for “drinks” but usually end up getting dinner too because we don’t want the date to end. This night was no different. We arrived at a local, well-respected […]

I would like to say that my experience at the D. House Grill and Bar was very poor. I ordered my appetizer and then the waitress came back from putting in the appetizer. She asked for our order. The appetizer came out in about fifteen minutes. Well about three minutes later so did the salad […]

My wife and I love dining out and especially at Italian restaurants. So, we go to a local place in South Florida with no rez but decide to wait at the bar and have a drink. We notice that the bar seating area is first come first serve and doesn’t require a rez. Soon a […]

My family used to go on vacation to the same town every year. There was a restaurant that came highly recommended from local friends, but on our first visit we weren’t very impressed. Still, the next year we decided to give it another try. We ordered and waited. And waited. And waited some more. Finally, […]

When I was in college I waited tables at a popular local Mexican restaurant. We typically had a pretty good lunch rush, so handling the bigger sections could be a challenge, which our management realized. As they were all former servers they were awesome when it came to backing us up. One afternoon I was […]

My sister had recently started college on the East Coast, thousands of miles away from home and from any friends she had. Her birthday was fast approaching and in an effort to make sure she had someone to celebrate the day with, I flew out to Boston to take her out for the weekend. We […]

Some years ago my partner and I had our worst dining experience ever. I have a short memory for such things, but this one was so appalling, I still recall it vividly. We chose to go to a moderately-expensive Italian eatery in the suburban area where we were living… we had eaten at this place […]

I was working at a not that great $15 plate chain restaurant one evening. The restaurant closed at midnight. I was pretty busy up until midnight and did not have time to do my cleanup and side chores that all chain restaurants require of servants. Just as I was about to begin my duties, at […]

The $$$$ fine dining place we visited was at one time a fine place to dine, but as times change, so did this place. I had called and spoke with a day server and requested a reservation at 7:30. I asked not to be placed on a traffic aisle, a table or booth out of […]

It was a beautiful 65 degree sunny winter day. My date and I decided to go to an upscale restaurant for my birthday. We knew that they had a breathtaking view of intercoastal waterway located in West Central Florida. Upon arrival at 2:15 PM in the afternoon we wanted to sit outside on the deck. […]

This is for a great number of Brits out there, travelling the world, dining out, and just being so mean. I am 100% sure that they are not as unaware as they pretend to be about tipping practices in the countries they travel to. I am of course a waitress who has been the receiver […]

My wife and I saw this in the early 90’s, and we still shake our heads about it. We went to a moderately upscale restaurant in coastal California and were seated next to a party of four, two men and two women, who were in their late 30’s. They had finished their appetizers and were […]
