I went to a restaurant that everyone tells me is the best in town. The chef has been bragging about how great his meals are and the critics haven’t really said too much negative.
A few people have written bad reviews but nothing too bad so I’ve been a couple times and it’s been…okay. But they towed my car once and couldn’t give me a good explanation as to why they did it other than “because we could.” I almost stopped going but they convinced me to keep coming back.
This week, the chef was just bragging about how he’s going going to create this multi-course meal that’s to die for, and we should absolutely save room for dessert at the end. And there been posting all these amazing dessert videos online, and that’s what really clenched it for me.
So me and my friends got all dressed up last night, and even made it to our reservation early. And wouldn’t you know, all the items the chef promised were underwhelming. I asked for wine and they brought me a Coke. The beef dish was supposed to be a ribeye but I got a smash burger instead. The salad had popcorn in it for some reason. None of the dishes were bad, but they weren’t what I expected and I just felt like I was wasting my time.
But then, we got to the dessert course. Finally!
And the server put an empty plate in front of me.
All that time I spent waiting on this part of the meal that was promised and they turned it into a joke by giving me literally nothing on an empty plate.
I’ll never understand why they did that when they knew this was the big draw for everyone and that we keep giving them our business even when they keep disappointing us.
And you know what? I’ll keep coming back until the health department shuts them down.
