what will you do when eating in a restaurant of your choice and a favorite one at that happens that the food you order was not the right one being serve to you and was being served on the other table and started eating it already..will you accept it since your very hungry or returned it and wait a little while for exact one...? well i had a friend with me when i eat in a certain restaurant of her choice and it happens that the food that she order was not right..and since shes so hungry at that time..she accepted it and eat it..and luckily she finds it delicious..

Hello vanities, It happened to me once. I ordered different food and I got totally different one. I called up the waiter and told her that they served me a wrong food. But I think if I am too hungry and can't wait for another one to be served, I just wallop whatever is in front of me! *smiles*

Hello vanities, I can't remember but it wasn't too expensive and so I didn't really care about the price *smiles* If the food looks so tempting to me and it 's not the food that I order, I will still tell the waiter that she sent me the wrong food but agree with the food *laughs*

I will just order again and let the person finish eating the food she/he had started which supposedly mine.It happen sometimes that your order goes to the other customer specially when the restaurant is full but would you wonder if the food was given to you was not your order.You should not eat that right?Obviously it was not yours.

glad it worked out for your friend. I recently ordered a meal and part of it was not correct. the soup I had ordered was potato and what came was chicken and dumplings - it was not very flavorful and the other part of my meal was turkey sandwich and that was just too much on the poultry for one meal... so I asked my waitress if they were out of potato soup. she was embarrassed over her mistake - offered my uneaten portion of chicken soup to my daughter and brought me a fresh order.

It all depends on the situation. If it is something of the same value as the meal I ordered I would probably let the server know and eat it, as long as it is something that I like. I would make sure the server knows so that I get billed properly. But if it is something I don't like or just something I don't really want or if I really wanted what I ordered really badly, I would ask for it to be taken back since it wasn't what I ordered and ask them to bring me what I ordered. Most of the time if something like that happens it is the fault of the cook and not the server so I am never mean about it. Even if it was the fault of the server I am still nice about it because we all are human and make mistakes. Also if you are nice about it the server will make sure you get your order promptly after that mistake. But if you are mean about it, and I have seen some nasty people, you will just continue to get the wrong service. You will be waiting a long time for your new order. Alrighty then, talk to you later my friend, Your friend Chris

well , it depends. if the dish is ok with me, i can accept it; or if the waiter will be punished due to his negligence, i'll take it. i dont wanna see their whole day payment be cut in this way. if someone who really ordered that need it more than i do , i can wait for mine to be served.

if the food serve to me looks inviting, i'll just eat it. But if it doesn't, i'll throw a tantrum and wait a little while more for my right order.

Well it really depends. If I have time to wait I might send it back and ask for what I chose in the first place. However sometimes we discover things we didn't know we liked by accepting something as simple as a wrong order at the restaurant. It a gamble really :) In any case, as a rule, I tend to ask for the right order.

fair enough..i guess if it happens to me(since its my friend who must decide it..its her order anyway)i will surely ask for the right order just to make sure that waitress/waiter will be more careful the next time in taking orders not only on me but to everyone..

I hate when that happens. We were at applebees one day and I couldn't stop laughing b/c they kept bringing food to the table next to us and it was wrong everytime. I'm surprised they got ours right. The manager finally came out and said she was sorry but how can you mess up that many times?

Unless you're desperate for food and the order you get is really acceptable send it back and demand quicker service. It doesn't have to be more than just a genuine mistake but what the hell ! Its your stomach and your money !

I would accept it, because if you don't they'll just go and throw it in the trash, thats a waste of food. Thats happened to me a few times, I ordered something and they brought out the wrong thing, I just ate it, it was good, I didn't want them to throw it out.

foods - foods in a plate
Hi there! If a restaurant will serve me a wrong order I will send it back. I like to eat foods that I really like. I don't like to taste or try a new one when I'm not in the mood and when I'm really hungry. I also like to feel happy while eating. And I wouldn't be happy forcing myself to eat the wrong food served to me. Ciao!

Well here getting the wrong order and eating it would really annoy a lot and of course that would mean you would be paying for another dish that could be more expensive. I always wait for the proper order to be served otherwise if it takes too long already and I'm very hungry then I just call the waiter to follow up that dish. So that it would be served to me already

Hihi, For me, it would depend on how delicious the dish is lol. But really, I will tell them of the mistake anyway. Chances are they will want to take the dish back even if I want it - whether to dump (if I have eaten) or pass to the right table.

i don't think i will eat the food that was served to me even if that food is not the one that i ordered. even if i am too hungry, i can't eat that food, even if it looks good and smells so delicious. if i wanted to eat at a place that i wanted and that certain food is what i went there for, in my opinion, that food should be served right on my table, right for my tummy and right for my appetite.
