Dear Tres Cugini, Was that Swordfish or Chicken?

Dear Very Expensive Italian Restaurant,

Here are a few ideas:

  1. If you run a restaurant where entrees cost $28 and $32 and don’t include a salad, the entree should look and taste Spectacular.  (see: The Chop House)
  2. Even if your entrees cost $10, your wait staff should be Very Good.  At your prices, the wait staff should be Excellent, which ours was not.  He was snooty and seemed bothered to have us for customers.  I think Bistro Bella Vita would be happy to take our money next time.
  3. See # 1.  That was the worst excuse for swordfish I have ever seen.
Thank goodness the conversation with great friends made up for it.  But you can bet that next time we’ll enjoy each other’s company at Leo’s or Rose’s or even Noodles, who’s employees always seem thrilled to have our business.  And don’t accept tips.
I’ve been to Italy, dear sirs, and I’ve never eaten a single meal there that approached that dismal dish you served me last night.  For shame.
Without hope for your improvement,
A former and rather disgusted customer

  1. The Big O is always good for a yummy and inexpensive meal. And have you tried the Twisted Rooster yet? That's one of our new favs (even though we have to drive all the way to the other side of town to get there).

  2. Anne–Thank you! We haven't tried the Twisted Rooster yet but I've heard good things. We'll give it a go next time.
