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.

Went to the British Museum with the parentsAfter the BM had had the courtyard redone. Smashing, we thought, nice shiny new restaurant. Lovely, we though, nice menu. Great, we thought, as attentive waiting staff took our order and brought our drinks...
... What a load of shit, we thought (and in fact made very clear to an admittedly very apologetic manager) when after 2 hours they finally decided to tell us that the kitchen had had a power cut and every time they'd said "it'll just be a few minutes" in the last 2 hours they'd been lying and that in fact they were trying to cook all the restaurant food in the snack bar downstairs. On a Breville toaster and a kettle. Did get a load of free wine though.
I haven't bothered with the story of the one time I ever went to an Angus Steak House. But I imagine no-one in the history of mankind has ever had anything approaching a decent meal in one of those restaurant-themed hell holes.
