But from the restaurant’s point of view, you ordered the salmon filet separately, and that’s the price, added on to a salad or not. Ok, but since it was an honest miscommunication and you’re a regular customer, I think the manager could have cut you a break and given you the dish for $23.
And by the way, I also had an unfortunate experience at the Lighthouse two years ago. The situation was a bit different though. I ordered 1 pound of whole belly fried clams. The price was $38, and I was ok paying that, especially since it was a birthday celebration. Anyway, when the dish arrived, there were like 1/4 pound of clams! I couldn’t believe it. Very disappointing, but because it was a birthday dinner I didn’t dispute it.
