foodcritic Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 LOL - my god, I would have been outraged. I'm guessing you one of those customers that thinks the staff in a restaurant should be your personal slaves for the night, "Could you unfold my napkin for me ?", "Could you floss my teeth for me ?", then at the end of the meal you claim the service was terrible and don't leave a tip. I tipped around 15% BTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick2 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I tipped around 15% BTW I'm suprised you could bring yourself to after the napkin incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foodcritic Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 I just think the napkin comment was a bit petty and pretentious, a case of finding falult for the sake of it. 99% of people wouldn't have cared let alone commented on it in a review. It's attention to detail Nick. In a service industry detail is THE most important thing be it FOH or BOH. Detail is everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nitpicking in an attempt to find something to complain about and make out you're some kind of refined diner who is genuinely offended by such behaviour. It's all very Frasier & Niles Crane, who take themselves far too seriously, the result is very funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the 1%, Hope you're not in business. That's a careless attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely instead of constantly chastising me you can see the bigger picture in trying to improve the restaurant's of our fine city. This is now starting to bore me. Bye nick2.

nick2 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 This is now starting to bore me. My thoughts exactly, half way through your last review. Bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordfish1 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I tipped around 15% BTW 15% service tip, but you gave it a 4/10! Bet you're glad the service was poor, it would have cost you a fortune otherwise. Incidentally foodcritic, I've now read another review of yours regarding Platillo's. Far better. Informative and more to the point. I suppose we all want different things in a review, but you honestly did lose me half way through this latest tome ().

NEKRO138 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I'd say the four for service is way too high from my experience. Booked a table for 7.30pm. Finally got sat down at 8pm. Had starter. Had to leave before the main came so I wouldn't miss the last bus at 11.15pm. I'm not joking either. I refused to pay for anything much to their annoyance. Absolutely pathetic. This was about two and a half years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
