Dear Mac Jenkins (Carolina Inn Front Desk Supervisor),
Thank you for your prompt and positive response to my request for a refund of the parking fee I incurred on Tuesday, March 2 when we ate at the Crossroads. Some questions remain:
1. What will happen in the future if we dine with you and attend a concert? Will we be charged a $10 fee? Or do you advise us to choose the less expensive parking available nearby?
2. On Tuesday, we were seated promptly at 6pm and ordered immediately from the ""fast"" menu. We ordered no appetizers. Yet dinner was served at 4 minutes before 7pm. We had to leave at 7:15pm to get to the concert, so we did not finish our meal, much less have coffee and dessert. Are we to expect similar treatment if we dine with you again?
3. Our table of 4 ordered red wine with dinner. However, our waiter explained that the restaurant was out of red wine glasses, so he set us up with white wine glasses. If we choose to dine with you again, are we to anticipate a similar substitution?
All in all, it was a perplexing experience. Fortunately, the other couple who dined with us were able to stay, finish their meal, and settle the check (they had no concert tickets). I say perplexing because we have dined at the restaurant several times previously and everything went smoothly.
Let me close with this: As usual, the food was excellent!
Pros: Food Is Superb, Among the Best in the Triangle
Cons: See My Email Above to the Front Desk Supervisor
