Thoughts

So, we (my husband, father in law and myself) went to Chamberlain's for dinner tonight to celebrate hubby's birthday. It was very good food and the service was as well. But, I do have one issue. I drank half a glass of wine and then saw a bug in my glass. So, rather than fish it our, husband said, let's get a new glass. OK.

So, the server took the glass away and came back with another full glass. I was then charged for two glasses, but only drank one and a half. I was perfectly fine with only one with my meal. (I mean it was pretty pricey!)

Should I have complained? Asked for one to have been taken off? Or, was it my stupid mistake for asking for a "new" glass? Just curious for next time.

Anyhow, the food was good, but not worth the money in my opinion. Of course I didn't have steak and my husband did and really enjoyed his. Sigh.

I would have complained. If there was a bug in the glass, then the second glass should have come free. Especially if this place was a pricy as you say.

You definitely shouldn't have been charged for the second glass. Most places, given the situation, should have given you a new glass for free...as in, you never get charged for the wine at all.

I'm glad the food was good though!

I would have complained - to be honest, the should have comped both glasses. I'm surprised it worked out this way. But since it was a wonderful meal otherwise, don't dwell. So glad your hubby had a great birthday. I've never been to Chamberlain's but I'm putting it on my list of places to try now that you spoke so well of it.
