I quit going to Glenview when I ordered a side of toast and was brought 1 piece of toast. When I asked where the other piece was, the server cut it in half and told me "ok, now you gave two pieces."

Many restaurants do not allow anyone to modify specials or discounted meals. I like the bar burger at Codys. They won't modify it. The idea is it's a cheaper item that lots out quick. They don't want to spend a lot of time with temperature, no lettuce, extra lettuce, onions, no onions and on & on. If you want to do that, you order the regular burger. No problems here.

But the OP already mentioned he had to go off the specials menu to get the burger cooked the way he wanted it. So he was not modifying a special. I agree with the post above that if you run out of grilled onions, just tell the patron. Don't substitute raw or nearly raw onions. If they had done that, at least the OP would have had a burger cooked to his desires (I hope) even without the grilled onions.
There really isn't a substitute for grilled onions. They add a lot to the taste of a burger or whatever they are on. And if you have grilled onions as an option on several items on the menu, take the time to prepare a lot of them in advance. They keep warm very nicely. It's called prep work.

Unfortunately, by my observation, Glenview management doesn't seem to care, or just maybe they leave the place in the charge of employees who don't care. In any event, one of the least desirable places to go in these parts. |

So, what's the point? That's how it works. If you don't like how a place operates....don't go.

More than once at Publix I have seen someone ask for 1/2 pound of something and when it went over by a few grams, they threw a fit and made the worker pick off a few strands to make it exactly 1/2 pound. You couldn't pay me enough to put up with what seems to be more than our fair share of really nasty/mean/entitled old folks. CNM Last edited by ColdNoMore; 08-01-2016 at 10:40 AM. |

It is obvious that threads such as this go nowhere. and I posit that there is not a right or a wrong there just is. How can you argue against what people like or don't like? Isn't it presumption to do so?
People's expectations are based on the total sum of who they are and what they learned and/or experienced. And that's why I say you can't please all of the time nor should you expect to. Its all good and in the long run things such as this do not matter Cst la vie |

This is important to you and it is something that is making you unhappy. But Mr. Brat I don't think we all have our heads in the sand like an ostrich. I think many of us recognize and enjoy good food. I think many of us have not budgeted the price of that pleasure into our retirement years as a frequent experience. It appears that in this community more expensive restaurants do not prosper. Some of the older residents will tell you that many years ago a couple of the country clubs required coats and ties and served more expensive food that was prepped and cooked on site by good kitchens. That was soon modified by lack of participation. I am made happy by cooking at home. Sometimes easily prepared simple foods are very satisfying and good. Please forgive the frequent leg pulling I post about New Yorkers. I proudly claim many as treasured friends, but sometimes they are a little too big for their britches, as we all are about firmly held beliefs about things we enjoy. I have learned more about people in the nine years I have been here than in all of the rest of my life. I am constantly surprised. If we all liked the same thing we would be so boring.

We have only eaten dinner at Glenview a few times. Will try the sunday brunch at some point. The steak and baked potato excellent. On our last visit had the beef stroganoff. It was outstanding and a good size serving.

We love Glenview for lunch and have never had a bad meal.
I agree with Joe that I probably would have accepted it and moved on. Having said that the reaction of the waitress and manager were unacceptable. Many restaurants will not serve hamburger that is not cooked at least medium well because of the threat of salmonella. For that reason I seldom order hamburgers out. Try the fish sandwich, it is the best in The Villages!
