I was reading the other day a very interesting article in NY Times titled "100 Things Restaurant Staffers Should Never Do" Part 1 & Part 2 and thought that the 100 tips they offered covered everything. Till I went, today for lunch, to "Prytanio" restaurant in the "Golden Hall" of Maroussi in Athens (photo). The missing tip for restaurant staffers would be that "When a customer gives you feedback on the food don't smile and say nothing. Thank him for taking the time to make the restaurant better"
The case in point was, when I finished my penne with mozzarella cheese, I called the waitress and told her to tell the chef that when one puts ice cold mozarella cheese cubes on top of hot penne the laws of heat transfer will apply and you will end up with a plate where the penne at the top would be cold and the penne at the top would be hot.
She smilled and said nothing and left the table. Doh!
PS1: I have to tell you that what I actually said was " Kindly tell your "Botrini" (the Greek TV equivalent of Gordon Ramsey) that when one puts.....". I couldn't restist the dig. :-)
PS2: Pasta, salad with beer & mineral water US$50 a head
