I’m going to disagree. OP didn’t wear his $700 pants to a pool bar at some trashy Sheraton and get chlorine on them. This was a fine dining restaurant at an RC, where you likely don’t leave for under $150-200 a head. Restaurant/hotel is completely responsible for this, the absolute least they could offer is a comp night and an apology from the manager asking the guest to give them another chance.
