For some reason, they always like to have restaurants that emulate "continental cuisine" or "french cuisine". Yet they never do it right and always cut corners.<BR/><BR/>Why don't they open restaurants that showcase the cuisine they are experts at? If someone opened up an Iranian restaurant in OC and marketed at that, I would be thrilled and love the uniqueness and authenticity of it.<BR/><BR/>I must be up to 45 people I have bad mouthed this restaurant to as of today (remember..I am in the industry).

They attract cheap people, and its hard to get the check up, so the tip won't be as much. What they recommend is what they want to sell as they are generally more pricey items. Its a little strange in this case because the special wasn't that much less than the regular items. Maybe she got mad because you guys were not drinking and couldn't get the check up that way? Not sure what that waitress's problem was.<BR/><BR/>#3 I would have walked out when she gave me attitude the 2nd time. i would have told her she was being a cunt and left. You didnt deserve that kind of rude treatment and it pisses me off to no end that you received it.<BR/><BR/>#4 I would have done #3 because also because I would be afraid with that much friction between the foodserver and you, I would have afraid that she or someone in the kitchen would spit in my food.<BR/><BR/>#5 I hope someone tells the restaurant to check out this blog and read my comments. Not only will I never go to this joke of a foodservic establishment, I am going to make it my goal to tell 100 people about your experience in the next 30 days.Diamond Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02890072740216114884noreply@blogger.com
