Ugh, dinner was a big bust. We were ordering from a well-regarded Chinese spot that we hadn't been to before. Their preferred ordering site apparently doesn't include comments/special requests on the ticket, so my notes requesting no bell peppers never got communicated, meaning I couldn't eat half the dishes. And our twice cooked pork appeared to have only been cooked once (white pork belly anyone?) so that went straight in the trash. I realize restaurants are suffering and Xmas Eve is likely one of their busiest nights of the year, so we're not going to poster them, but also are unlikely to ever try them again.
