Props on taking the mistake in stride like you did.<br /><br />Termite,<br /><br />Sounds like you and Editilla are on the same page.<br /><br />Kelly,<br /><br />Vegetarians are welcome; why do you think that we are still friends with Blogge/NOLAWineGuy? You're right: It doesn't seem that difficult for orders not to be messed up, but it happens. Double checking a ticket is an obvious solution. Thanks for posting and don't be shy in the future. <br /><br />Anon,<br /><br />That is a really strange policy. It's not like their excuse is that the prep has already been changed.

Everyone must get breakfast, or everyone must get lunch. You could order off either menu, just not both. Talked to the manager, since I thought the server must be new or something...but nope, that's the real policy. <br /><br />I love their food - they'll cook a burger rare, and that cambazola cheese/fried oyster salad is to die for. But that stupid policy ruined my meal and I won't go back on the weekends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625514177505810173.post-85540916313731538252010-10-25T16:59:45.194-07:002010-10-25T16:59:45.194-07:00Longtime reader, first time poster and (:::ducking...Longtime reader, first time poster and (:::ducking:::) a vegetarian. <br /><br />So...I'm used to this exact situation happening quite often. Nothing upsets me more than the thought of those around me not being able to fully enjoy their meals while I wait for mine. I usually preface each order by confessing that I don't eat meat, and somehow things still show up riddled with bacon or beef bits.<br /><br />I think the blame falls mostly on the waitstaff in this situation. Having worked in a restaurant before, I would always make sure to reiterate any special request or notes with the chef just so situations like this didn't arise. Sure mistakes slip through now and again, but how hard is it to double check before bringing the final product out to a disappointed diner?Kellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625514177505810173.post-61353941427112735852010-10-25T13:32:24.269-07:002010-10-25T13:32:24.269-07:00i dine out frequently in town and this certainly h...i dine out frequently in town and this certainly has happened to me before. as a matter of fact, it just occurred last week at Dante's Kitchen. i didn't want to make a big deal of the situation (there were 6 of us) and it was handled very similar to what you witnessed at G. Gourmet. that being said, had it been just myself and another person, i would have suggested they take the other plate back to the kitchen and served it when my entree arrives. <br />i really don't think that's being unreasonable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625514177505810173.post-62143393284448056992010-10-25T11:31:16.708-07:002010-10-25T11:31:16.708-07:00I've been to Gott Gormet twice and they screwe...I've been to Gott Gormet twice and they screwed up my order both times--a major error (completely wrong dish) the first time and a minor error (wrong side) the second time. I'm avoiding the place now because it was annoying and the food is not worth the hassle. But I handled it essentially like "Kim" did, and GG did take the wrong dish off the bill. It's annoying but sometimes happens.Janenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625514177505810173.post-48393836643091259992010-10-25T08:16:08.584-07:002010-10-25T08:16:08.584-07:00Getting past Kim's "vegetarian" burr...Getting past Kim's "vegetarian" burrito with Egg Whites...(Food'geois Naivete)... server should have pulled both orders and served them both together fresh cooked.<br />Good service ain't rocket surgery.Editilla~New Orleans Ladderhttp://noladder.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625514177505810173.post-6444016085102230582010-10-25T07:36:33.799-07:002010-10-25T07:36:33.799-07:00It should be noted that "Kim" was a vege...It should be noted that "Kim" was a vegetarian and the breakfast burrito served to her was chock full of chorizo.The Folk Singernoreply@blogger.com
