Worst Dining Experience Ever 2/15/2012

My worst dining experience ever was at Fuad's last night (2/14/2012). I eat out a lot, and have extensive experience dining at expensive restaurants all over the world. I believe in the old adage that ""you get what you pay for"". However, last night, I certainly did not get anywhere near what I paid for. First, the person that took our order was rude when I asked if the menu for Valentine's day was at a fixed price for the evening. He told me ""I was wasting his time even asking."" There were no prices on the menu and in order to not make a fuss in front of my boyfriend, I did not ask the prices. I figured that possibly my boyfriend had already checked the prices when he made the reservation (he didn't). We ordered lobster for the main course, two appetizers and soup. We ordered four glasses of wine and no dessert. The wine was cheap and very bad. The bisque was good, but needed sherry in it to make it taste right. The lobster main course was bathed in a tasteless salty sauce. The side dish of vegetables that came with the entree were inedible. They tasted as if someone had dropped their cigarette ashes in them. The shrimp cocktail was fair, with 4 good sized shrimp, although the tomatoes that accompanied the shrimp were under-ripe and tasteless. Well, in short, the food was not very good. When the check came, by friend and I were in shock. The check was nearly $600!! We expected a bill in the range of $300, but not anything in the range of what they charged. This place is a rip-off. Thank heavens we have the means to pay for something like this. I feel really sorry for some poor, unknowing person of modest means who may have dined there last night, and received an outrageous bill such as that, as it could really wipe out a modest budget. I really don't know what this place is trying to accomplish in gouging people like that.....it seems to me that it would lose customers in the long run. The owner should be ashamed of conducting business like that. Obviously, I will never go back to Fuad's and I will tell everyone I know about this horrible experience. more
