Crap meals outI'd chosen to take my in-laws to one of my favourite restaurants, only to discover it had changed hands the week before. We waited half an hour to get menus. The waitress broke the cork in the wine we ordered. She got our order wrong. The food was luke-warm, mine was overcooked, the rest was undercooked. After waiting another 40 minutes for the last course, we were told that we couldn't have any as the chef had "forgotten to de-frost the puddings".
Let's just say they didn't get a tip. Tell us of your crap meals out.

Restaurant troubles..I've had a couple of bad visits to restaurants. I suppose the worst was to a (apparently) short lived restaurant in London called "Peppermint Park" (nothing to do with the Spearmint chain of lap dancing joints).
This restaurant wasn't so much a restaurant, more a burger bar with waitresses and ideas above it's station (similar to TGI Fridays).
When I wanted to try it out, I took my then girlfriend to it. Neither of us knew what it was like. So, we sat down, ordered, had our starters, which were nice.
20 minutes later, my main meal came out. 20 minutes after this, we were still waiting for my G/F's meal, so my G/F told me to eat as mine was getting cold. I called a waiter over and asked what was happening.
He went to check and five minutes later, my G/f's meal appeared. When she started poking around in it, she found it hadn't been cooked, so I called the waiter back and asked him to get it cooked.
20 minutes later, it came back, still cold, so I sent it back again. 20 minutes after that, a lump of charcoal that was vaguely the same shape came back.
Not surprisingly, we skipped dessert, and I requested the bill. The fuckers only tried to charge me for the meals that they cocked up!
I paid for my own food, the G/F's starter and drinks, then took her to burger king. Not as flash (after paying for that meal I was virtually skint), but at least they bothered to cook her food.
