Celebrate? or Obliterate

Last night had to have been one of the craziest/awkward eating experiences ever! I decided it was time to celebrate after I was put under new management yesterday, something I was praying for for 9 months! Anyways I call up my cousins and see if they would like to go to my favorite restaurant, Chilies, for a little celebration for muah. We ended up going to the one in Bounitful because it was closer to them. We were seated right away so it started off good. Then things got a little crazy. Don't know if it was our waiters first day on the job or what but everything just started to go wrong. He took our drink orders ( I requested a Strawberry lemonade, pretty much the only reason I went to Chilies; Lemonade and Chips and Salsa) and after 2 minutes had to come back and ask us again what we were having. A little later he came by with 4 waters and no lemons, which Ashley had requested. We said uh can we have some lemons? oo yeah. Sorry we only have 3 left in the whole resturant. wow its only 9 oclock and no more lemons??? this is going to be a long dinner! by then things just went down hill. They forgot my Lemonade and I had to constantly remind them. Then when I did get it the cup was dirty! I'm not a picky person but yuck! Then Jon tells us we have to be nice to the waiters becuase if you're mean to them they'll do something to your food. Well the night went out and each thing that went wrong we were getting more and more nervous to bring it up in fear of our food being contaminated. Then Dan got his chicken and it was crispy. Not just a little crisp. More like this chicken dipped itself in charcol. Nervous he asked the waiter for a new sandwhich because it was burnt. "Burnt? really?" the waiter said. you'd have to be blind and not smelling right if you argued. The manager came out and apologized and offered the dinner for free and also a free salad; which we ultimatly didn't receive that either. Not to mention Dan not wanting to eat his newly made chicken sandwhich in fear of contamination.

Overall this was a night of adventure that we were not planning on. Needless to say I am a die hard chilies chips and salsa fan so this will not deter me from going to a chilis again; but I guess the lesson is.... Nothing is good in Bountiful.

Ha Ha... We tried going there on a Friday night I think right after it first opened. Well our friends got there way before us and they said about a 45 minute wait. It ended up being well over an hour and no sign of us being seated. They didn't offer us any drinks or anything. There excuse was that a bunch of people had called in sick and so they were short staffed. We haven't been to that one since.
