Around 6:45 a server approaches to let me know table 31 has a refire. Their steak was a little under cooked for their liking.

I thank her for letting me know. Then approach the kitchen so that I can run the plate. When possible I run every recook.

By this time the server has let me know the women sharing the steak aren’t happy, saying they said having to send the steak back was a buzz kill.

The steak comes up, I take it to the table. I check in with them. And leave. They seem okay but not great.

Fast forward to the end of their meal. I meet them in the lobby. The host asks how their meal was.

They say, we’ll we are glad you ask, and then launch in to their rant. If we are going to do steak we should do it perfectly every time. And the least we could have done is bought their drinks for ruining their meal.

I stand in the corner and listen. I don’t engage. They said at least four times they shouldn’t have had to pay for their drinks.

They leave.

I did not see the steak they sent back. So I have no idea if it was truly under. But after almost a year of being at the restaurant it’s really more about people not understanding medium rare.

But they definitely were not going to get free drinks.
