Well, I just fired off a letter to the Napa Rose. I know everyone can have an off night, I know. But this was just not their night, and sadly I was there to be a part of it.

I meant to fire off a letter to the Napa Rose after dinner with a large group of friends, never got around to it. Let me know what kind of response you ~~got~~ get.

Unfortunately, I just haven't felt compelled to darken their door since then.

Sadly, Gn2Dlnd, I feel the same way. But, I also felt at $300 for 3, they needed to have some feedback.

Don't know if I will get anything back, if I do, I will let you know.

There's some good grammar.

What was the beef (just asking out of curiosity)?

Resurrecting this thread, not to spam, but to post the letter I just received back from Guest Relations. Frankly, I don't think doing a vegetarian meal on the fly should not tax the chef so much it would cause a total disrruption of the kitchen. It's just such a no big deal thing in most restaurants and the chefs are usually happy to oblige. But, I did get a courteous response.

I had much better fun and food at the Jazz Kitchen. YMMV, of course.

I try to avoid chains as much as possible if only on principle. I like to support independently owned restaurants because I think they are a dying breed. Long Beach has a great collection of wonderful independent restaurants that I frequent as much as possible. One of my biggest disappointments in the city is that ALL of the restaurants in the newish Pike area are chains. It doesn't make it much of a destination for me - but I suppose conventioneers may like the familiarity. Still, it pisses me off that what could've been a great destination for both locals and conventioneers was blanded down to something that can be found anywhere.

I used to have the same feeling about independently owned bookstores, but most of those have gone out of business due to the monster chains that have infected every shopping area.

I have a few exceptions to my "independent" rule. Bookstores have become a necessity, but I still shop at an independent music store. I refuse to set foot in a Walmart, Kmart or Costco but I do go to Target. I will eat at SuperMex which is now a chain and I've eaten at Patina restaurants. I also frequent Peet's. PF Changs is probably the only chain restaurant I will willingly eat at.

I celebrate unique, different, independent as well as delicious as much as I can. I'm afraid that, if I don't, all choice will be lost to me and my life will become as bland as a day in Stepford.

That crepe place in Long Beach was good.

I remember eating a dessert crepe there, too. It was wonderful. Did you have that?
