I'm hoping they were just having a bad night in the kitchen and that they've ironed out the problems. Thanks for the suggestions for next time!Michelle Rittlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662267848184660743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571519282245961307.post-57899727287904045702008-11-11T12:53:00.000-05:002008-11-11T12:53:00.000-05:00I'm really surprised at your experience. Blue Smok...I'm really surprised at your experience. Blue Smoke is among one of mine and my husband's favorite restaurants in the city. I really think that your experience was a fluke because I've been there about ten times and I've never seen that at all. What I'd suggest for next time (if there is one) is to get hush puppies and the baby back ribs. Their fry bread is also phenomenal along with their own beer--I think they brew it there? Maybe give it another chance? Oh and p.s. the pulled pork is also awesome!Fooditkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00927382832751244890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571519282245961307.post-60617930459705182712008-11-01T16:19:00.000-04:002008-11-01T16:19:00.000-04:00Sue - I'm not sure what the laws are about having ...Sue - I'm not sure what the laws are about having a non-working bathroom. I'm pretty sure the men's room was working, so, I suppose Kym could have tried that bathroom. But who really wants to be the woman walking into the men's bathroom?<BR/><BR/>As for the camera, don't worry, I'm working on it!Michelle Rittlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662267848184660743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571519282245961307.post-26600356655410362162008-11-01T14:57:00.000-04:002008-11-01T14:57:00.000-04:00Wow, that's a shame.

What was the staff supposed to do? <BR/><BR/>You have to organize a camera before you go to the River Cafe. Make sure you get another picture with the chef.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284023935180677683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571519282245961307.post-83344568423817017552008-11-01T11:42:00.000-04:002008-11-01T11:42:00.000-04:00Kym - I must have deleted that detail when I was e...Kym - I must have deleted that detail when I was editing the post last night... <BR/><BR/>Not having access to the restroom at a restaurant that happens to offer free soft drink refills is definitely not cool!
