Subject: Complaint about Friday 15th March (Jefferson booking)
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about my visit to your restaurant yesterday, Friday the 15th.
We booked a table for six to celebrate a birthday because we had heard that you were one
of the 1 restaurants in the area but unfortunately, our evening turned
into a 2 disappointment.
First of all, we were extremely unhappy with the choice of food on the menu. All the
advertisements we saw to 3 your restaurant led us to believe that it specialised in Italian 4 , so
you can imagine our surprise when we found not one pasta
5
on the menu!
Secondly, when some of our party ordered pizza, the waiter told us that it would be served
without cheese, as the restaurant had 6 mozzarella. Again, we found this to be most surprising
coming from an Italian restaurant and, of course, most of the pizza choices from the menu
were no longer relevant. I decided to take the 7 and ordered a Capricciosa pizza but when it
arrived, the toppings were 8 and the crust was hard. In fact, we found most of the food to be
only just 9 . (My wife described her salad, which appeared to consist of nothing more than
tomatoes and lettuce, as extremely
10
.)
I informed the waiter that I would be writing to complain and, given that the evening was such
a disaster when it was supposed to be a special occasion, I expect an apology and some kind of
11
.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
Ian Jefferson
