Come for the food, leave for the 'tude. That's what we did last night, our second and final visit to Bistro 33. Upon arrival of our appetizers, Crawfish tempura and Bistro's 3- yellowtail, tuna and salmon sashimi with a twist- of yuzu, ginger and truffle oil, we were met with an ornery chef. Who was our waitress last time? Ummm...? Who was it, because whoever it was I'm going to fire her. Ummmm...??!!?! Who gave you the sushi roll substitution last time? I would NEVER approve that flavor substitution, so whoever was your waitress went behind my back, and now I'm going to fire her. Well, we asked for a substitution due to a food allergy. I would NEVER approve that flavor substitution! Well, we have a food allergy, so could you be accomm- (cuts us off) In MY KIT-CHEN these are MY rules, and whoever went behind MY back BROKE my rules and will be FIRED. Who was it? You can't remember? (and we're thinking a simple I'm sorry, we don't make substitutions would suffice) Needless to say, we walked out. \r
