A couple of weeks ago the Chef/Owner also posted on their own personal social media about arguments amongst his own staff regarding pay rates and stating the only issue is employees talking about their pay with one another and everyone knows that's what causes problems. Note that the above post was NOT made through the restaurant's social media but on the personal account of the Chef/Owner.

    Shot in the dark, but I think they’re sick of it

    that tuna looks objectively awful though. it kind of undercut the message

  3. lowfreq33

    I probably wouldn’t send it back, but I would never eat there again.

  4. Fifth-Crusader

    Ah, what a way to drive customers away.

    … but it is over. I wouldn’t send it back, but I would be disappointed. And I’ve had worse, but are we striving for really good to perfect or just good enough?

    I wouldn’t have sent it back, but IMHO it looks overcooked, underseasoned and probably not the best piece of tuna to begin with. I wouldn’t eat there again.

    I’m assuming that is supposed to be a blackened ahi tuna steak. If I’m correct that shit is not only overcooked but missing the entire sear.

    Looks like a low quality cut of tuna that someone blanched for a minute and said fuck it.

  8. _Asshole_Fuck_

    How many people are sending stuff back for it to be a huge problem?

  9. The-Great-Xaga

    Give us names. Let us shame this dangerous nonsense!

    No one who sells Saku Tuna has a leg to stand on

    Social media was a mistake.

    “You can be yourself on the internet” as a cultural concept, was a mistake.

    Stop being a little bitch, everyone. Just put up with what the kitchen sends out. We are SICK. OF. IT. Really can’t imagine why you all are so stuck thinking about yourselves instead of the entire staff and the restaurant. I’m so DONE with you all.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter. Signed, owner in the hospitality business.

    First of all that is overcooked! Sucks but the truth hurts sometimes.
    The hardest part is that if you have that many recooks or boomerang dishes the problem isn’t the guest, it’s you!
    To be truly successful in our industry there needs to be a touch of humility, none of us are perfect.
    Unfortunately, I have been on those shoes and it is a painful path, hope chef finds their way!

    Stop serving saku tuna? Probably a seafood restaurant in Kansas

    OP I manage a seafood restaurant and I agree that doesn’t not look the best lol. But I also deal with morons on a daily basis. I hear things like, this is too fishy, or I didn’t like this can I try something different? Or my personal favorite when they eat half the meal, complain about it and want a new meal, then want to take the half eaten meal home lmao. Man you didn’t like it here you are not gonna like it at home lol. This owner seems like a prick but I’m with him on being sick of the bullshit. Same people every time it’s hardly a surprise when I look out to see who is complaining.

    Shitty tuna. Cooking it “right” isn’t going to improve it.

    Cook it all off and run tuna salad special.

  17. Noyourknot

    I’d say it isn’t over cooked. It looked that shitty when it was still in the fridge.

  18. BringOutYDead

    Although I agree with this sentiment, I do not allow my intrusive thoughts to brey out loud like an ass.

    Also, not very appetizing tuna cut. Someone else mentioned that it was probably partially frozen, and I agree, plus the customer probably meant seared tuna, not rare.

  19. thelonelyecho208

    Oh good, he’s mad about the frozen tuna steaks he bought going to waste. So sad 😢

  20. fotoford

    TIL from that chef that talking about problems IS the problem that causes problems.

  21. Devonc1417

    I would assume that’s served as seared ahi tuna on the menu correct? I’d say they were not wrong to send it back. We keep ours thawed out so not frozen at all they just go on the grill when ordered. I would have my cooks remake this if I was on expo but it could also be worse. If a customer that eats seafood all the time got this, they would send it back. If a 20 year old kid on a date ordered this? They will just eat it and not know or care haha.

    This guy and whoever made that brisket from earlier can share the same jail cell

  23. BoringArchivist

    I have a rule, when I see owners posting crap like this, I just don’t go there anymore.

  24. kyotomilkshake

    Going out of business bridge burning post

  25. if you’re whining about the staff talking to each other about pay, you’re already behind lol

    This shit would’ve *killed* in 2003
