Bad restaurant luck

I always seem to have bad restaurant luck, so when we get bad service or something goes wrong, it now comes as no surprise.

Last night, me, Jeremy and our friends went to La Iguana for dinner. I have eaten there once before and the food is really good. We get there about 8:30, get seated, order drinks and some guacamole, and then we order our food. Well about 9:15, our server comes over and says that our order got lost, something about the systems crashing, and he needed our food order again and they were going to make it on the fly. Well about 9:30, still no food, and no manager had even come over to our table to apologize. Oh and inbetween the time we were waiting, they brought us a complimentary salsa appetizer (it had 4 different types of salsa, kind of like a little salsa bar). Well by the time they brought this, we were all pretty full and didn't even want our dinner. So when the manager comes over about 9:30, she says "It will be a few more minutes" and Jeremy looks at her and says "we aren't even hungry anymore, cancel our order" So she did, comped our apps, all we had to pay for was our drinks, and we got a $20 gift certificate to come back again. What an experience, it seems as if I always have bad luck with restaurants!

  2. That is so frustrating! At least you got some free food out of it!
