Dining debacle.

Jon and I went out to dinner last night w/my folks at a slightly more upscale place here in town. I ordered a sirloin, cooked medium.

When our food arrived, I realized a couple bites in that the steak was more rare than I was comfortable eating....really red all the way through. So I sent it back for another go-round on the grill.

I got it back, cut into the middle to check the temp, and it was no more cooked than when I sent it back the first time. Jon flagged down the waitress again, and I explained that while normally I would have no problems eating a med-rare steak, I'm pregnant, and really needed it cooked a little more. She was really nice about the whole thing.

After I got it back AGAIN, I checked it, and it was now well-done... I'm pretty sure they were just pissed in the kitchen and just chucked it into the fryer. Still not what I ordered, but at least it was cooked, and I ate it.

While waiting for it to be brought back the 2nd time, the manager did come over and apologize, but didn't offer to comp my meal, give us free dessert, or anything. I was a little surprised, given that this is a little bit nicer place, and also that I had to send my meal back 2x.

Jon did leave a rather scathing diatribe on the comment card, but really, was I remiss in expecting *something*?
