Problems in the dining room
Dear Ms Jones:
I am a frequent patron of the Post Meridian Restaurant and am usually impressed by your establishment. However, last night was an exception.
I took a group of out-of-town guests to your restaurant and assured them of the quality of the food. When we sat down, my wife noticed that her plate was dirty, so the server replaced it with a clean one.
When the food arrived, I was presented with an overcooked steak, when I had ordered fish. After twenty minutes, the server returned with the correct dish, only for me to discover that my fish was underdone.
In addition, two of my guests were not satisfied with their food. One complained that her pork was burned and underseasoned, while another found his dish too salty and almost cold. When my fish was brought back a second time, it was still undercooked.
I enclose the receipt for this meal, as I feel that I should receive some money back to compensate me both for the terrible food, and also for the embarrassment of treating my guests to an inedible meal.
As things stand, I do not see myself revisiting your dining establishment or recommending it to anyone else.
Sincerely, John Sykes
