And she brought the wine about 10 min after the runner brought the meal - despite our asking for it on ordering and once more.
The bill came to about $350. I left no tip and wrote "terrible service" on the check. As I was leaving, my daughter not thinking I saw, gave the waitress a $100 bill I had given her for her birthday. I went back in and demanded it back from the waitress and had a talk with the manager (as well as my "knows everything" college daughter)
Sorry, but I would've asked to speak to a manager well before receiving the check. That gives them time to rectify the situation so you don't suffer through a disastrous meal.
