I seriously doubt Carrabba's management would offer a discount coupon and then conspire to beat the customer. Both honest (and dishonest) mistakes happen every day. It's a really good person who believes that all mistakes were honest ones.
gryyoung: Your spot on. There is a difference between the stomach flu and food poisioning. Getting proof from medical people is sound advice because the restaurant won't admit fault so you will need proof. Unless you can find other people who also were sick.

We had a retirement party for a worker some years back. At least half of the people some 150 who attended got sick. the culprit was something in the soup. We were all insurance people so the restaurant owner about had a heart attack. No one filed a claim....why because we deal with this situation all the time and understand the deciding factor is the restaturant's reputation. in this case the restaturant had an impeccable record and one bad night vis a vis a poorly run restaturant.
