Yes, an error. We were dining out last Sunday as is our habit and this time it was at Pappadeaux's Restaurant in Fort Worth. It is the closest Pappadeaux's to us and it is the closest to fried Louisiana food to us. Other fish places are all good and closer in proximity but none meet the overall quality standard that Pappadeaux's does on a continuing basis. You pay a bit more but the food is worth it.
James was with us and we sat down and immediately ordered two dozen raw oysters along with our drinks. We rarely drink alcohol drinks anymore, it is usually Diet Cokes or water. The waiter put in the order and came back for our usual entrée dinner desires. It was a slack time, we were early, so we were getting "Johnny on the Spot" service. So along with the drinks and bread came the two dozen oysters.
We dug in and began chowing down and all of a sudden up shows the waiter with help and another two dozen oysters. It seems there was an error and they, for some unknown reason, double filled our order of raw oysters. And as a practice in such a high class restaurant, there was no charge for their error and they did not want to just throw out the oysters, so they brought them to us. We gladly devoured the extra oysters though it bordered on literally over eating.
They would not charge us for their error so when the bill came I doubled the tip. Somebody got rewarded for somebody else's mistake. No matter, I bet that waiter will remember us.
Maybe next time there will be another error, ya think. No but they, the wait staff, are appreciative and do remember their good customers.
Bon-A-Petite!
Retired . . . And enjoying it too!
