That's such a shame. Hope you are both better now.

Have you always had this type of information that you checked before visiting a restaurant? How do you do it when traveling?

There were two practically identical threads started by the OP in the past day. They have been merged into one and all posts merged chronologically.

You claim food poisoning from cross contamination from Cody's put your wife in the hospital.

How do you know that for a fact? How many other people that same day had exactly your wife ate and also got sick? Or did not get sick? Did Cody' acknowledge that her illness was their fault?

You cannot make such claims without definite proof. Cody's does retain lawyers, I am sure.

Are you suing Cody's?

I'm missing something. Cody's has ten violations, of which three are high priority. One is cross-contamination. Is that a real show-stopper?

I had a great meal at Havana last February, pork chops, so delicious. Rest of our party enjoyed also. We didn't have singing waiters.

Default Havana for lunch

We went to Havana for lunch last Saturday around 1:00. After reading the negative comments about the restaurant while up North, I wanted to see for myself.

We were never greeted at the door by the sign that says "wait to be seated" after waiting several minutes (more than 5). I went to the bar and asked the bartender if there was anyone working to seat us and she looked around and muttered something I was not able to hear.... I just told her we would be outside and asked if she would send a waiter out.

We sat for 15 more minutes and saw no one. Disappointed, we left and went to Beef O'Brady's and had a nice lunch.

We live close to Havana and its a great setting. I sure hope they get it together soon!

Same old - same old at Havanna. Think at this point it is hopeless.

Any restaurant can have a violation and be on this list. Sometimes they are minor and sometimes significant. Any good inspector can always find something wrong. It's like home inspectors, they have to find something to justify their fee. Even our in home kitchens would have a few issues if inspected. My issue is with those that keep showing up on the list. That means to me they make no serious attempt to resolve the problems. Havana is a serious repeat offender along with a few others. I didn't count up the totals over an extended period of time for each, but my guess would be their near the top in total number of violations. For me that is a problem and I will chose to go somewhere else. Someplace that has very few problems and shows up only once or twice on the list.

Some stuff I'd just as soon not know.
