The chicken. It would not have been sold at Costco too small from the looks of it. And if it came out like that we would have thrown it out too burnt.You were too kind, if that car was making that much noise , why did staff not try to do something about it. You were kind with your server to , looked not that full for him not to notice you did touch chicken. Did the guy that cut chicken not notice wings were beyond eating. You do remember I worked servicing people at one point, there is no way I would have brought you that out burned like that. And if we made those kind of mistakes with food. no way we would have charged you!!. You looked great by the way, so did Jeff , like his shirt. By the way did kids table make you feel young

I know the chicken wouldn't have been sold like that at Costco. That's why we said a Costco $4.99 chicken would have been better. The server was apparently new and inexperienced. As far as the noise from the car at the mini mart next door, what could the manager do? Nothing really. I had to be nice because if you'll recall I owned my own restaurant up in Peddlers Village. I know what it's like in your first weeks of opening. They had only opened about a little over week prior. They had a lot of new staff, new recipes for the chef to learn, etc. I do think the chef should have learned all of the recipes weeks before they opened. When I had my restaurant my 2 chefs spent 2 weeks before we opened, working on learning my recipes, creating new ones, doing tastings with me until we all agreed they were perfect. We didn't add any new menu item the three of us didn't know how to make exactly the same. Clearly this restaurant didn't do any of that. The owner should have trained her staff, especially chefs, at the other restaurant they owned to understand fine dinner service and food quality. We were surprised the manager didn't catch the dry chicken with burnt wings but maybe he wasn't paying attention while he was cutting it up.Had he actually deboned the chicken as the menu stated, when he got to the wings he would have realized how overcooked they were. Thanks for your comments 🙂
