Hi Michael,

 ML> sometimes getting more or less what I wanted.
 RH> If it's close, I wouldn't complain.  If it's no where near, then
 RH> whistle up either your wait person or managment.

 ML> It's a question of degree and a judgment call. The more I'm
 ML> charged for something the more I expect the food to meet my
 ML> expectations. I had a really awful steak at Hellas, a cheap
 ML> family restaurant I used to frequent, and I didn't send it
 ML> back, as it was really, really cheap. If I'd had anything
 ML> even nearly so bad at a steakhouse, back it would go, but
 ML> back I would not.


Yes, I guess it would depend a lot on the surroundings.  We ate at a
Ponderosa in Florence, KY last week.  As usual, I asked for my steak to
be done meduim, Steve asked for rare.  They were done to that order on
one end; the other end was definately shaded upward.  Not the greatest
steaks in the world but at the price we paid (senior discoount) and
location, it was about right. (G)  Definately not like the Stuart
Anderson's we had in HI tho; those were really good!

 RH> In Las Vegas, the
 ML> food was bad, though, the steak dry and tasteless though rare, and
 ML> I almost said, I changed my mind, I'll take that butter after all.
 RH> Probably figured you were in the city for other than eating purposes.

 ML> That should be irrelevant, though you may be right.

It should be irrelevant but that doesn't mean it is.  Some people come
to the city for purposes other than losing money.  We go to visit our
grand kids. (G)


 ML> On the whole, I think the best bang for the buck steak place I've
 ML> eaten at is Texas Roadhouse, of which there are several in NC.
 RH> That's one ofour favorite chain places.  We're just a bit further from
 RH> the once in Wake Forest than we were from the one in Savannah.  But,
 RH> we have checked it out and it passed. (G)

 ML> I have never had an improperly cooked steak at Texas Roadhouse,
 ML> which I was introuced to by Clean Dave some years ago.

We've never had a bad one there either. And, now that I remember to ask
for no egg on my tossed salad, I'm a happy camper with that and a baked
potato (no sour cream, extra butter on the side) as sides to a good
piece of meat.


 RH> Bust him back to bus boy; he's reached (and exceeded) his level of
 RH> competance.
 ML> When I saw his behavior, I thought just plain bust him.
 RH> Did you report him?

 ML> Complained to the hostess and promised to write to management,
 ML> which I never did.

 ML> - an extremely chi-chi venue with major aspirations both in the
 ML> gourmet food department and the healthy food department.
 RH> Priced to match?

 ML> Yes, unfortunately.


Sigh!  When we got back from our trip & picked up mail, there was a note
from the Brio manager with 2 $25. coupons enclosed.  Don't know when
we'll use them but they're good for a year.
