Do you send food back at a restaurant?

I only do if they messed it up by including or excluding specific ingredients I explicitly asked to be attended to, or the method of preparation itself, but not for the chef’s cooking skills coz I’ve on occasion seen other people do it for the latter and have always felt it looked snobbish and I never wanted to be that person.

Only when I want bad food AND one of the chef’s loogies for lunch.

Never once.

Never have. I do give some feed back at the end of a meal but I would never return food. If I want to have special food prepared a special way, I do it myself at home.

Depends. If they've omitted ingredients it goes back. I once ordered a Greek salad and there was no feta cheese. And the menu specifically said feta cheese was one of the ingredients. So when I sent it back it came back with plenty of feta cheese. Of course the waiter apologized for the kitchen. It wasn't a big deal for me and I left a decent tip.

No. Never.

im with some of the others here. only if it has some ingredients that I specifically asked to be taken out. im a bad eater and there are some things that I just can't eat.

Ive never sent something back because it wasn't prepared correctly or didn't taste up to my standards

Never. Been in groups where someone ( usually a female) just doesn't like thier meal and orders something else. Very awkward.

Burned food pisses me off. Burned toast, burned anything. If it has too much burned parts on it you can only taste the burned flavor. I send it back and it pisses my wife off but I still do it. I also send back guacamole and avocado if it’s clearly too black/brown. I tell the waiter to not accept food like that from the kitchen staff. I go to nice places mostly and they should not be serving crap. Oh I sent a mojito once because the bartender used mint leaves that were mostly brown and dried. I pulled the leaves out and said I expected better from this place. If it’s crap, I usually say something.

I’ve worked in restaurants and occasionally people would send food back. Usually an over cooked steak.

A very dry salmon would be exactly the kind of meal you would send back.
You’re going to pay a bunch of money for bad food?

You say it’s too dry for you, send it back and ask for something else.

Only once or twice, and that's when a steak or burger came back way undercooked. Otherwise, I don't. It would have to be a pretty significant screw up to warrant a return; dry salmon wouldn't cut it for me.

Same. If something is inedible, I just request it be removed from the bill. I usually won't have the patience to wait for try number two.

Most meats are going to have some variation. If you take 5 random pieces of salmon and cook them the same exact way, one will probably come out a bit dry, one will probably be exceptional, and three will be "normal".

I wouldn't send back dry salmon, mostly because I don't eat that nasty sh*t. Eat a burger bro, even a terribly prepared and cooked burger will still be better than the best cooked salmon.

Never once. I’d rather be hungry than high maintenance. And if it is meet, you’re lame, such disrespect to the animal.

No. I've known too many petty, despicable people in my life and I ain't going to risk the chance that the cook may be one of them.

I’m thankful I saw this movie scene as a teenager. It taught me the valuable lesson to never send food back at a restaurant.

I once went somewhere, ordered a burger. They make their own mincemeat using a machine. When it arrived it had raw meat in the middle of it. I sent that back, even though they insisted it was fine. I want a burger to be cooked through, I don't think that's too unreasonable.

I knew a very pompous wedding guest who sent his dinner back 6 times

It was probably injected with excrement by the time he ate it
