Worst Anniversary Ever!

[dojo]

This morning we were supposed to go out for breakfast, but DH forgot and ate a big bowl of oatmeal, so we didn't wind up going.  I was sorely disappointed. 

My parents took H this afternoon so we could go out for dinner. DH made a reservation at a local steakhouse we had never been to.  After being seated for a full hour I finally asked the waitress when we could expect our salads.  She told us the kitchen was really backed up.  No apology, but we got our salads within about 10-15 minutes afterwards.  Then we waited and waited and waited for steaks.  Eventually I got up and told the waitress we were only going to pay for what we had eaten and she needed cancel the order.  At this point we had been at the restaurant for essentially two hours.  

Not once did the manager come and speak to us.  Even after we said we wanted to leave.  I thought that was really crappy. 

We drove around a bit, contemplated seeing a movie but ultimately came home after picking up DQ drive through.  Have you had their burgers?  Disgusting.  I didn't even eat mine after all that.  Now we're watching Netflix and neither of us are in the mood.

That is a severely shitty night. I am sorry! Maybe go out for breakfast to make up for it tomorrow?

[katfco]

Aww, I'm sorry. I hope you guys are able to find a way to make up for it, and definitely call and complain to the restaurant, that's really horrible treatment.

[rxbeth]

That's shitty. I'm sorry. I haven't had a DQ burger in a while but I remember liking it last time.

Ugh, I'm sorry the evening was so crappy.

[alicia45]

Oh no! Terrible! Maybe have a "do over" another day? If you can't get a sitter, bring a picture of your wedding cake to a baker and ask for a small cake to look like it. Then on the "do over" day, call in an order at your favorite restaurant to go, eat the cake, and spend some time together after H's bedtime. Maybe it'll make up for it. I think this is my new plan for our anniversary this year.

Oh man, that sucks do much. I'd totally do brunch tomorrow if you can. Maybe make a nice dinner at home?

[charmediamsure]

Oh man, I'm sorry.

Also, PM me the name of this place so we don't ever go there!

[sandj82110]

Ugh that sucks. I pretty much like all fast food but DQ burgers I hate. Hopefully you guys are able to do something fun another day.

[laurensmomma]

That really blows. I hope you guys can do something to make up for it.

[honeybee503]

I'm sorry you didn't have a better time.

[jsillyfun]

That is so sucky! I'm sorry.

[jenbelle]

That totally sucks! I'm so sorry.

[Deleted]

Oh man, that really sucks. I'm sorry. I like the breakfast idea!

[raynes]

I agree that you need a do-over.

I don't dislike DQ burgers though.

[monkeybabe]

That is really shitty. I hope you guys can do a do over at a place you know is reliable. The behavior by the steakhouse is unacceptable. Leave a yelp review. Please.

[breezy8407]

Well that sucks. I would totally have a do-over day.

[fusion]

I am so, so sorry! I would be blasting that restaurant on social media! what a shitty day

[lolaburns]

I am so, so sorry. This sounds horrible! You definitely need a do-over. It's just a must.

[earlybird]

I'm sorry. I hope you get a do-over.

[steph196]

That sound awful! I'm so sorry!

[LiveLoveLearn]

I'm so sorry, I know I would be so disappointed, I agree to talk to the restaurant. I hope you get a do over!

[carawestt]

I'm sorry your night sucked.

[shevacc]

That sounds awful, I'm sorry . I like the do over idea, at least for breakfast.

[bean47]

That's horrible. I'm sorry you had a crappy night,

We are - I told DH we had to do it in the morning.  I feel that in order to make it sting, it cannot be a scathing-heat-of-the-moment review.  It has to be reasonable otherwise no one takes you seriously.  I've maybe put too much thought into this review and am overestimating the amount of impact it will have.

Thanks ladies, luckily it is my mom's 60th tomorrow and we're going to one of our favourite restaurants near them. All hope is not lost! It won't be quite as romantic, but at least we'll eat!

[sallyowens]

That sounds awful. Hope today is better!

[JuliaGulia]

That sounds terrible! Sorry you guys had a crappy night! I think you need a do over!!

[onehitwonder]

That's awful. I do over is definitely in order.
