That may be what you see. I'm also hoping to entice said person to come back here because we need more people who aren't satisfied with meekly accepting the status quo.

Unfortunately we have good friends who LOVE the place so we go there every couple of months.

I love good cooked food.. the fat soggy slop they called pasta was just as good as any CANNED stuff you can buy!.. it all lacked kick! in flavor,, the garlic sauce must have had one clove in the WHOLE POT! no strong good Italian flavors any where! the only thing nice was getting lots of bread and lettuce. .. needless to say.. we wont try it again unless were up for bland food!

Originally Posted By Rebekah I've also had a couple of poor dining experiences at the PYC especially given its price point.

PYC -- my most recent experience was due to the fact we were joining others for dinner. The floor was so wet where we were seated that the canvas bag of our friends ended up soaked through and her paperback book was soggy. I'm not sure how it happened as the whole floor didn't seem that wet. The restaurant staff was not apologetic or concerned when it brought to their attention and did not seem at all interested in helping to right that wrong. Also in many cases around the Resort you may receive multiple receipts -- this particular evening we noticed three receipts -- we figured it was a customer copy, restaurant copy and duplicate. Our friend took the customer copy left the others and ended up getting billed twice. Rebekah.
