Are you referring to mine? As a general rule, unless something is actually done wrong (e.g., undercooked, completely inedible, salt used when it should have been sugar), I don't send things back. This was a case of simply disagreeing with the culinary choice the chef made, I thought the salmon was over-seasoned. It wasn't horrible, the fish was cooked quite nicely, I just disagreed with the choice of preparation. I never consider that reason enough to send something back.

No.

Small group of people, you wouldn't know them. Cliqueish, snobby, keep to themselves mostly.

I love food, and I love to try new kinds of food. However, I am also the canary in the coal mine for food poisoning. Generally, when I'm traveling is not the time for me to be taking risks. If I don't have a reliable recommendation from someone I can trust, I tend to stick to chains so that I can actually enjoy my travel, rather than spend most of my time doing something far less pleasant. Even at home, I tend to try new places on a Friday night, where I can have the weekend to recover should things have gone awry.

It was the Orange Circle when I was a kid, and that's what I still call it.

Snowflake,
Dropping a plate of food down your back should have gotten you a comp'ed meal. Or at the very least a free dessert.
If I remember correctly, when I was at the Jazz Kitchen and the waiter dropped a oyster shot into a lady's buttcrack (she was leaning forward in her chair to avoid getting hit with the tray - exposing her back and opened her pants at the waist), they gave her a free meal and was discussing dry cleaning with her.
Napa Rose should have done the same. I would have called a manager over...

Well, it was a comedy of errors. I covered all of it in the letter and we'll see what happens. Sadly, I did not even find the famed scallops to be anything other than just okay.

and oyster shot down your back, yikes! I'm sure that makes for a good story now, however.

Wow, must have been a really off day because the scallops the day I ate were the standout dish. Absolutely brilliantly done.
