Go somewhere else for convention luncheon
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/28/11
We attended a luncheon today for approximately 150 people.. Reservation deadline was May 18th, so they should have had ample warning and there were just enough tables set up. The salad was acceptable and the entree was very good. However, there were 3 choices and all the people who ordered one entree got theirs at each table, and then the next entree was served, and then the third, which meant some people at each table were eating while others waited. Then came dessert. Though the dessert was not indicated on our reservation form, some tables received chocolate cake and some of us got a bowl of some sort of baked apple slices with partially melted ice cream floating on top. I'm not fond of liquid ice cream, personally, but the real kicker was the tables were ALL set with 3 forks and no spoons. Our inquiry about spoons to eat it with were totally ignored by the wait staff. Not one near us made a move or offered to go to the kitchen and get us all spoons to eat with. After dribbling some of the ice cream down the lapel of my suit, I just laid my fork across the small bowl of "stuff" and left it, as did most of the others at our table. It was disgusting. GREAT PLANNING, CATERING STAFF!!!!!!!!!!
