Restaurant Etiquette

[Deleted member 30053]

You go to a restaurant where you are considered a regular and you ask for a rare steak and it comes out well done. Massively busy night for the place. Took over an hour for the bait to arrive as well but you can tell they are stowed off and all the staff are being champion. Do you send the steak back - cos you go in all the time and it’s not cooked to order - or do you eat it and say it was nice? I took option B cos I was hungry and couldn’t be arsed with the carry on. Or are you an option A? And if so for what reason? One of my mates would 100% be a kernt and demand his 20 bar back or make them re-do it.

In a honesty I'd just scran it and pay up. Especially at half price.

This was not on the government scheme. Full biffta. Was also given a free pint for the wait.

At half price I’d probably get on with it.

but rare to well done is a big difference, so under normal circumstances I would send back

Twas full price.

Being busy is their nice problem to have, they took all the bookings. They should be happy to tip up if service has slipped while they are selling loads. Personally I’d have just eat it and said it was great when plates are cleared

I’d be sending it back then. As I said in my post there chief

Depends on the quality of the restaurant, it it's just your local pub grub then no. If it's a proper nice restaurant where you expect the food to be decent then yes I would have sent it back

 

[Goat Eyes]

I’d eat it. Make a point of it on next visit. Being a regular or not shouldn’t come into it.

Plus you’ve got to think the shite that everyone has been through these past months, a well done steak isn’t so bad really.

 

[Wilfy]

Would have just eaten it.

 

[Lipso]

Different scenario I’d agree and just let it go, if say the pasta was a little under. This though, a piece of meat cooked well done instead of rare, I’d frisbee the block off the chef’s napper

 

[dangermows]

Would have just eaten it.

Then asked for some money off.

 

[Wilfy]

Then asked for some money off.

Nah, he’d already had a free pint for the wait.

 

[dangermows]

Nah, he’d already had a free pint for the wait.

Aye, that's for the wait. The money off is for the shite bait you've just flattened. Ironically, if they had cooked it correctly, there wouldn't have been as long a wait.

Send it back. If you like rare steak why would you eat cremated remains?

Chef is probably doing a gram trying to keep up with service...
Steak comes back bearnaise du knob cheese.

If it was somewhere I'm a regular and I would guess get on well with the owners. I'd just scran it and say nowt as a one off mistake. Might mention it in a piss taking way.

Was at a place on saturday and wife asked for steak medium. But it was cremated. She was pretty pissed off but didn't called them over. But when they came to check she mentioned it. They offered her another one but she didn't want it. So they just charged half price for it. Fair enough I thought.

 

[EDGE]

I'm English so would rub my tum and lick my lips.

Yum.

 

[Patch]

I'd cut them some slack although, on my next visit, I would make it really clear (not in a rude way) that I wanted medium rare.
