While I did want the message to get to you in a more forceful manner, then I was apparently able to convey at the dinner, more importantly, what I was trying to convey in my post, was just how much added significance everything, even the little things, take on, when you're trying to get the most out of life. I was obviously successful in the former, it's just unfortunate the real point of my post, did not make as big an impression. Dave, I’m sorry that you took my post the way you did.

Most of what you wrote about was true (with the exception of a few creative statements, notice I did not say lies) and frankly inexcusable, therefore I make no attempt to excuse them. I regret our failures with your party greatly as Louise and I pride ourselves on producing a quality product. Judging by the number of times you have been to Delius as stated in you blog, you must have agreed with me up until last Saturday. That is why I am rather surprised at your choice to air your grievances in such a public way. Buy slamming me in this forum instead of first contacting me privately; I begin to question your motives. While I understand your frustration and even the natural desire to share your tale with others, I would think that an honest craving for a quality experience and consideration for me as a person (since we do know each other) would have led you down a different path. If your intent was to exact revenge then I think you have accomplished your goal, as people such as Becky who have never been to Delius are now aligned against us. I have taken your critique to hart as any good restaurateur does with the inevitable criticisms that he receives during his career and will learn from it and hopefully keep your experience from repeating itself. Now that your blog has expanded to include restaurant reviews, please use that power judiciously. I’m very sorry that your experience at our restaurant was so completely disappointing.

And prix fixe means it is a set menu. There are some variations, but basically everyone gets the same thing. It's like the <a href=http://www.frenchlaundry.com/tfl/tflmenu.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">French Laundry</a> in Napa, just not nearly as good, or as expensive!

I went to their site via your link and you can't even VIEW the wine list. Apparently, they can't find that either. So, were the harpists there? And what does prix fixe mean? That link didn't work either. Well, that’s terrible. I went to their site via your link and you can’t even VIEW the wine list. Apparently, they can’t find that either. So, were the harpists there?
