I visited Cody's when it first opened and left with a promise never to spend another penny there. I found out the next day that the couple who joined us were as disappointed. Fortunately I was spared a wait. Too often I find that I have a long wait, , get less in quantity and quality for a meal that is over priced. Yes, to answer your question, I seldom visit a restaurant. And, no I am not that difficult to please.

I just assumed that johnfrommaine had changed his name to handydad. Only thing that made sense to me.

handydad is from Codys. It said that in the subject line.

It said "Response from Cody's."

It didn't say that handydad was from Cody's sending the response. Bonny said the post was quoting a response to John from Maine who had not received it yet.

How could it be a response, unless handydad is John from Maine?

One thing I learned from running a few businesses is that it is the customers who do not complain that can put you out of business. You cannot undo a bad experience so a good business and management will make sure the bad experience does not occur in the first place. After the fact all you get are apologies.

I know too many people who flat out refuse to go back to Cody's but not other places. Where there is smoke and all that.

I think more would post with their displeasure with restaurants if they did not have to defend themselves all of the time.

I go to a restaurant and it sucks, I just don't go back. I mentioned this once and was told I should give it another try. My money is too valuable to give it another try. They should have gotten it right the first time.

Maybe these posters want to alert other people to the same thing.

I don't like Cody's. First of all the food is mediocre and there are not many great choices. My problem is that I cannot get two iced teas to go. Every time I ask, the waiter says it is because they serve alcohol. I am not about to ask the manager why. Apparently this is their policy. I can get two to go at every other establishment in TV. It ain't worth the hassle.

My thoughts.

Something we should all remember. Food taste preference is a personal thing. I dine out with friends and we almost never agree on the quality of the food. What is bland to me may be too spicy for another. It all starts with what you are accustomed to eating. I absolutely dread eating out with self appointed food critics. What they do best is spoil their dining partners evening. I tend to over look minor problems with the food or service. No one is always perfect. I will discretely mention serious problems in service or food quality to the waiter without making my dining partners uncomfortable. If you go to your favorite place long enough, you will encounter substandard food or service eventually. As long as it is not frequent, not a problem for me. I supervise a fairly large operation and I can say from experience that you will never make everyone happy. If you work in a large office, the temperature is too hot for some and too cold for others. Try co-ordinating an office party and you will see the wide range of opinions on food and decor. Some people behave like little princes and princessess and expect everyone to cater to their taste. It's only food. Does every meal you eat need to be perfect? Can you even remember what you ate last month? I believe it is better to enjoy your friends company and ignore the small stuff. You will live a happier and healthier life. If that fails, order more wine.
