Friday Night Date Night

Last night my husband and I went out to eat at our favorite restaurant for date night. We had a pretty good time, although there were issues. For one, it took us 50 minutes from the time we were seated until the food came. That's almost an hour, and we didn't even order an appetizer. Then my food came and it was fish tacos that are served blackened. I asked for them NOT to be blackened because that seasoning is too spicy for me. After the waitress left, I discovered they were blacked. Yuck. I had to drink a lot of water and was served 3, so since our waitress was nowhere in sight, I just took the fish out of the other 2 tacos and ate them with the coleslaw and avocado in the taco shell. Still good.
My husband ordered crabmeat stuffed trout which came on a bed or sauteed kale. He doesn't like kale so asked if he could substitute something else. The waitress said asparagus which he agreed to. When it came out the asparagus was hardly cooked at all...even rawer than al dente style.
Fortunately, we enjoy each other's company, and the desserts were good, so the evening was not a total loss. This is our favorite restaurant because of the view, the ambiance, and usually the food, so we will be back. I guess they were just having an "off" night.
Do you and your significant other have a favorite restaurant?

My relatives and myself like to visit IHOP since they have wonderful meals to eat for everyone in the family.

Good, the food is good at IHOP, but it's even better when it's free! Somehow free food tastes better to me!

They also give you free pancakes on your birthday...did you know that? You have to sign up for their birthday club and they send you an email with a birthday coupon.

I like Sizzler although there aren't any around where I live. Applebee's doesn't have anything I like to eat that is healthy for me.

That was not the right evening, slow and bad service.
Yes, my husband and I have a favorite restaurant, we also had a bad waiter serving us one evening. We paid and said nothing, but I sent an email to the manager to complain. We received a $ 50 card inviting us to enjoy a better dinner experience.

@Kouponkaren - They had to know that one of their waiters was not appropriate for that kind of restaurant. Move him in another area, where he is not in contact with the clients.

Ohhhh, hopefully, that made up for the bad service. That was very nice of the manager to give you that $50 card.
