I don't understand Rosie, why are you so adament about defending a restaurant, that has on more than one occasion be less than above board about their policies or poor execution of food presentation, and then basically tell posters to go somewhere else if they don't like it? Are you a reviewer, who maintains an impartial view, or a spokesman for the few retaurants that you often frequent and are known at? When you go to Blue Sky or Corso 98 frequently (as you have posted), and are known to the staff and owners as having a web site that can help the business you go to, aren't you crossing a line? You realize your known at those places, simply by the amount of time and meals you've eaten there, yet you defend them to the hilt for their obvious shortcomings. It's one way or the other, and I'm not sure which it is anymore. Hans, Hank, and Rail are right. With the cost of going out nowadays, there is no excuse for bad service, poorly presented food, or a check with an unknown gratuity added. There is nothing wrong with alerting management to the problem, but sticking up for the poor atitudes of management and bad service is inexcusable.
