Dear Mr Smith, I am writing to you as my family and I had a very experience in your prestigious

restaurant

on Saturday the 18th April. Since it was the birthday of my daughter on that day, I had made a

reservation

in your

restaurant

three weeks before. To my surprise, when my family and I reached your

restaurant

, the waiter at the front door confirmed to us that there was no

reservation

made. I was shocked as a lady has confirmed to me over the phone that the

reservation

was well noted for fifteen people and they would make some special arrangements for the birthday of my daughter and they would even offer us the birthday cake. Even though the

reservation

was not confirmed, the manager at the

restaurant

tried to set two tables for our family.

Moreover

, there was no cake for my daughter as well and imagine the embarrassment I could face. I had to leave my relatives for a

while

and go to the nearest bakery to get one cake. Hopefully, I could get one. Meanwhile, I told my brother to order the menu

while

I will be out hoping that my relatives could get some refreshments and some snacks. To my astonishment, when I came back to the

restaurant

, not a single plate was on the table.

Furthermore

, we waited for forty-five minutes until we could get some starters.

However

, we hoped that the main course would be served quickly but we were unfortunate, we had to wait almost one more hour to get our food. To our disappointment, the food was cold, the lamb ordered was not properly cooked and the vegetarian food was quite limited since many of the vegetarian menus were not available.

Hence

, I called the manager in charge to express my discontent and he replied to me very rudely I even told him that I will not pay for

this

service I was offered. I told him that for the bad service I received, I should be getting a half-price discount. But he kept arguing with me.

Finally

, I have paid the whole bill but I would request that you make an investigation into the incident and the bad moments we had at your

restaurant

.

Thus

, I am requesting that you reimburse me the totality of the bill paid or else I will relate the bad services on social media which will ruin the reputation of your

restaurant

. I hope that my request is taken into consideration Yours faithfully Mrs Amanda
