What do you think of this letter to a restuarant?

[Sub-Zero]

One word, verbose. I would limit it to 2-3 paragraphs. Get straight to the point.

word, not to mention you really pusified out lestat...

if u had something to say ask to see the manager, get your good service, dont sit there like a bitch and tattletale to higher authorities from behind a letter

Letter's too long, who cares about the geigh-ass cigar shop?

Reading that fagged-up crap, no one would believe you have a girlfriend anyway.

Finally, eating anyplace related to Houston's is your first mistake, 100% pure garbage, sorry the meal sucked but no surprise.

I eat out at least 4 nights a week, usually at upscale places...that said, I consider your experience anything but letterworthy; a letter will do nothing but make you look like a schlep. You could have maybe asked a manager on your way out why the delay was so long, but the bottom line is, your server compensated you for the problem. What else did you need at your table that the 3 visits prior to your food's arrival couldn't cover? It's a good possibility that you got a new waiter or maybe she forgot to put your order into the system right away. Either way, the manager will repremand her if the complementary objects were provided b/c of her mistakes. Generally upscale places allow a longer kitchen turnaround time as well; while an hour is still pretty long, she may be used to putting her orders in late to allow for appetizer or wine consumption. For future referrence, if you are going to write a letter, make sure it's intentions can in some way help the restaurant operate more effectively... if not, it just sounds like you are fishing for a free meal. That is TACKY.

PS. My old office is RIGHT next to bandera... I used to eat there a LOT ...the open-air grill area radiates great smells all day long, making it hard to resist come dinnertime. I've always had great service there and the waitresses used to all be super cute toO!

Letter's too long. You're just gonna make some manager lose the point of your message, and instead fall asleep on you.

Next time be more vocal WHILE the incident is occuring. She's not making eye contact with you? Get that bitch.

Now you're complaining *after the fact*. Not a good position to be in life.

I sure hope you ain't tellin' your gf you're writing "letters"! She'll start scoutin' for a guy who actually takes charge in the restaurant instead of writing letters 2 days later.

I know i would.

if it was a middle school essay entitled, 'my trip to a restaurant,' i'd give it a B+

"Hey Cindy! Did we have a gay guy in last night with a token girlfriend? He just wrote us a letter."



j/k Lestat!

A manager/owner is not going to want to read your life story. Keep it to the point, as others have suggested. The tone of the letter is good... not aggressive, but the reader can tell you weren't pleased with the lack of service. Cut down on your wordage and you should be fine.

If you don't mind me asking, which restaurant were you at?

 

[jackangel]

i think it's excellent. add some more background information, be more descriptive (what was the ambient temperature, how were you feeling that day, etc...), and provide footnotes wherever applicable. make 3 copies, sign each one, and send them certified mail.

Way too long
They must have quite a few complains and don't have 10 minutes to handle yours, and they don't really care about the cigar or your health consciousness

But most importantly we don't know what you WANT

Public apologies?
Free meal?
Explanations for the delay?
or you just wanted to rant?

 

[Steve The Bluesman]

What do you want to happen? A free meal? Your dinner cost credited back to your cc? An apology? Give them an idea of what you want to compensate for the shit experience.
