Høstdepresjon

Har ikke helt landet etter siste London-tur.
Men her kommer en liten tilbakemeldig til kvelden hos Social Eating House


Dear Sirs


I am referring to booking number and .


In X.X2016 we had a lovely lunch at The Social Eating House, and we booked a tablet down the cellar next to the kitchen. It was a great experience with great food and wine.

So hence we wanted to try out the dinner menu next time we were going to London.

My husband and myself had anniversary so we decide to eat our anniversary dinner at Social Eating House. In the booking, we stated that we wanted to reserve table down the cellar next to the kitchen.


Unfortunately, when we came to the restaurant, we were seated in the restaurant itself. We though not to make a fuzz about it... Maybe it was fully booked? Or maybe not? However, we received the menu and we went for a sparkling English rose for a aperitif. We decided to go for the al carte menu. I went for the quail/duck starter and my husband for the crab salad. After 5 minutes the starter arrived.... but where was the matching wine? The waiter came by and he had to call the sommelier... so half way to eat our starter, the white wine was finally served.... The starter was nice though. Recommend the quail if your into garlic, and I also tried the crab salad. The crab salad was fresh but maybe too simply. When the waiter came to pick up our clean plates, we politely hinted that we wanted not to rush the main course. He agreed.


Then just 5 minutes later, the main course was served!!! My husband was in the toilet, but still the food was served. And again, where was the matching wine???? The waiter came again... and again he had to call the sommelier..... and again, half way our main course, we were served wine. Big let down... I had the sea bass - bit similar pallet to the starter... since they both where quite garlicky. My husband had the hare - ok meal.


To summarize: we arrived at 7:10 pm... and at 8:10 we had paid our bill and we were walking in the streets and we went back to our hotel.... the dishes was served to quickly, we did not get the seated we had booked and we were the missing wine to both stared and main meal. This was huge let down. 200 pounds out of the window. Food itself tasted ok, but the service..this restaurant should not have one Michelin star :(

But unfortunately, it did not stop here….. 3 am I woke up and felt really sick! I started to vomit, and it would not stop! I vomited 4 times per hour from 3 am until 6pm, so I stayed in bed all day. I also got diarrhea.

It was so bad my husband had to call a doctor to our hotel. Its cost us a fortune to get the doctor to pay a visit. He had to get me injection so I could stop vomiting. I have stomach aches as well, so this might been food posing. My husband also had diarrhea but he did not throw up. So this was a nasty experience. The doctor told us to inform you about this matter, since this can be food poising. Please see the enclosed invoice from the doctor.


So unfortunately, we had not a great anniversary in London. I enclose our invoice of the dinner we ate, since there could have been something with the food.

I hope you can look into this.



Best regards

Jøss...
Dette var kjedelige saker for dere - maks uheldig med den feiringen.

Om det passer seg - følg gjerne opp i tråden med respons dere får fra dem.

En mager trøst kan være at deres reiseforsikring (etter alle solemerker å dømme) gir erstatning for denne reisen.

Vi er godt dekket av forsikring. Men for vår del er det en mager trøst da turen ble relativt ødelagt etter denne episoden.
Fikk i går rapporten fra legen. Denne vil også bli sendt restauranten slik at de ser at vi ikke ønsker noe annet enn å informere de om hendelsen.
Har selv jobbet på kjøkken og forgiftet over 50 personer med dårlig sjømat. Var selvfølgelig ikke med vilje. Men når man får brutt kjølekjede, så skal det ikke så mye til for at maten blir dårlig.

Får håpe dere får ta igjen feiringen ved senere anledninger - og at denne episoden fort blir glemt.

Ha en strålende helg alla fall!

Jo takk @Cagney
Feiringen skal bli tatt igjen. Skal heller ikke se bort i fra at vi skal våge oss tilbake. Alle kan gjøre feil. Muligens blir vi "invitert" tilbake på et nytt måltid på kjøkkenet.
