 GJ> Having read your comprehensive and well-written reviews of your local

 GJ> some of your picnic participants - would be interested in returning to
 GJ> them on occasions, it could be mutually beneficial.
 DS> I know of two occasions where letters were written after a bad
 DS> dining experience.
 DS> The first was for the Montreal Munch.   I don't recall who wrote
 DS> that letter, but seem to recall that it got a decent response from
 DS> the Culinary Arts school where we had the disaster dinner.

I would expect that a school such as that would appreciate feedback
from the diners.  At the local Swiss Catering School insists that
students interview diners to get comments and recommendations.

 DS> Another was after a Christmas buffet at the restaurante in our local
 DS> Columbia Hilton.  We wrote a rather strong negative letter to the
 DS> local hotel management and also to corporate management.   We got no
 DS> response, not even a "bug letter".   We did not go back.

Perhaps they get them all the time, so don't bother to reply.  What I
was suggesting, though, was something like Dave's critique, wherein
both the good and the bad aspects were included in a balanced report
on the food and the overall restaurant experience, giving praise where
it was due as well as brick-bats.

 DS> It would be interesting to hear of other cases and what happened
 DS> from members of the echo.

Likewise.
