You could tell something was off this night. We don't drink alcohol and weren't asked if we would like anything else. Our waiter was trying to serve with a smile, but something was building and you could see his frustrations building, and at one point said "sorry, not my fault. We have waiters move over to Chef's Table right now". The Manager heard of our disappointment and insisted on giving us chocolate strawberries in our room...twice. He would have refunded the meal, but ours was comp-ed by our agent.
