Invite people over for a party... I would come if I was a little closer

A couple of months ago, four of us went to dinner at Maggiano's. We had reservations for 7, however we were not seated until 8. We complained to a manager about the wait time and he said that he would take two of our meals off the tab. The food was great, and the service was excellent. The server even went so far as to give us pleanty of extra food to take home. When the bill came around they had not only take two of the meals off, they had also comped our bottle of wine. The manager quickly came back around to ask how everything was and slipped a new bill into the sleeve while he was talking to us. We assumed he noticed that they had accidentally comped the bottle of wine and re-added it. When we got the bill, we looked at the new total: $0.00 It was not a cheap meal, betewen the four of us it was almost $200 originally. The manager definatly went well above what we expcted, and we will definatly be returning.

speaking of finding stuff that shouldnt be in your food... this one was VERY minor, and we werent comped very welll , but I THINK I found a secret ingredient.

So I am pigging out at O'Charleys with my wife and inlaws on thier chips and salsa. I have always loved thier salsa because it has a nice smoky flavor to it.

Now I go to take a big dip of salsa and something doesnt look right. out of the salsa comes a big old hunk of bacon. It appears to be cooked, yet soggy, kinda like how you would expect bacon in baked beans.

Anyway we flagged down our server and innocently asked if there was SUPPOSED to be bacon in it. She apologized profusely and brought us out more, and comped us for the chips.

Now, I am not complaining that they only gave us free chips. I would have been happy with just a fresh thing of salsa. But every time I eat there, I taste the smoky flavor of the salsa and wonder if it wasnt a secret seasoning that should have been removed, kinda like the bay leaf is.
hmmmmmmmmm......

Two wrongs don't make a right, however three lefts DO!

Best ever?

Silverado Golf Club and Resort. Infant twins.

Infant Twins About A Year Old.

Golf tourney in honor of my wife's late uncle. Great guy. We move into the condo with all the baby paraphernalia, including crib et al.

Finally get everything settled, ready to have a cocktail and the phone rings. "Yes?" "Mr. Kelly?" "Yeah?" "Sir, you have to move"

"Um. Like hell."

"No sir, really"

"Uh, no dude, no fucking way. My infants are asleep in the full-size crib we just set up, so you can find another solution"

"Sir, we placed you in the wrong room. We need you to move."

"No"

"It's a nice room"

"Uh..... No."

"Sir, really. You must take the new room"

"Get me the Hotel Manager. Not the desk manager, the real honest-to-God manager of the Hotel"

"S---"


"NOW. I HAVE SLEEPING INFANTS IN A CRIB YOU WANT ME TO WAKE UP AND ALL KINDS OF FURNITURE I HAVEN'T HAD SEX ON! MANAGER! NOW!"

"One moment"

"Mr. Kelly. I understand we've inconvenienced you, and I apoligize. A large family booked the upper and lower floors of your condo and we moved you into the lower floor in error. How can we accomodate the need to move you so that the family can be together and also guarantee your satisfaction with the Silverado Resort?"

"You can't. Do you want to deal with moving all the stuff we've just settled with our twins? Do you understand this is the first 'vacation' we've had since having children? Ack. No. We're not moving"

"Mr. Kelly, how can we make this happen?"

"Comp the trip, and something."

"Done, Mr. Kelly, I'll have staff over momentarily to assist you in moving your family."

OK, then they had a group of guestworkers pack us up without waking the kids and moved us to another ground floor condo fairly close without even waking the girls. We got this odd gift certificate for "Dinner at the Silverado (whatever the best restaurant is called)

So, we went to the restaurant some months later on the comp.

The Matre de dealt with us exclusively, and I deferred to him 100% on appetizers, wine, entre's, dessert, brandy.

I've eaten in exclusive restaurants in Rome, and this place whooped them.

I expected, even with the "coupon" to be out a couple hundred bucks. Really, people, "honest-to-God" fine dining is a several hundred dollar affair, even for just two people.

Silverado comped the whole thing.


I gave the maitre'de a hundred bucks anyhow.

Best comp ever.

I love Silverado.
