Bad experience at a Japanese restaurant

Tweet

My hubby and I went to a Japanese restaurant last night. We ordered what they called a volcano salad. The dish actually resembled the shape of a volcano. We cut into it and saw that there was octopus inside. We don't eat octopus and would never order anything that had octopus in it. The menu, which specified what was in the dish, did not mention this creature. We told the waitress what happened and she took the salad away. She even gave us clean plates and utensils. I thought she would just give us a refund. Instead, she had the chef remake the dish without the octopus. We cut the new volcano salad in half again to make sure there was no octopus. Thankfully, it wasn't there. We started eating the salad and everything was okay, but then I bit into something that tasted like crab or lobster or shrimp. Couldn't figure out what. We specifically said we don't eat shellfish. Why was it then in our food? I told hubby this and he said it wasn't shellfish, but to me it tasted like it, so it had to be in there. I didn't not finish the salad after that. And this wasn't the only screw up with the order. I ordered miso soup. Instead, they brought me mushroom soup. I didn't feel like exchanging it, so ate it. It was rather good and I enjoyed it. But the point is, that I didn't order mushroom soup, so they should't have given it to me. Not the greatest experience at this restaurant the second time around. And my hubby gave more than a 20% tip. He was way too generous. The first time we went to this place there were no mix-ups or screw ups with our order. Everything was amazing! After this second experience, which didn't go as well, not sure if I want to go back there again any time soon.
