Restaurant dishes sent back to the kitchen

[Stoday]

I don't often send dishes back, but sometimes the cooking is so bad it has to go back.

Last week I ordered a plate of asparagus with hollandais, a poached egg and a little petit salé. The asparagus was badly overcooked so I sent it back.

The Maitre d' came over "Sorry etc - would you like an alternative dish?" No I wouldn't, I want my original dish cooked properly. Tell the head chef.

I got it cooked properly. It was worth making a fuss about. I got a free brandy with my coffee too.

I always get Steak well done and if it bleeds when I cuit into it I will not think twice about sending it back. Not because I am fussy, but because I cannot eat it if there is blood in it

rarely sent food back, but often send beer back

I once sent a posh London pizza back as it had a clump of dodgy short, curly black hair on it! I was right off pizza for months.

I've sent food back because it's come out luke warm instead of hot.

Never afraid to send back food or dirty plates, and once got a pint with lipstick on it - was not impressed!!!!

The food at the Jury's hotel I stay at in Chelsea has to be the worse ever.

Small portions, cold plates you name it, I was forever sending it back.
