FOOD POISIONING

by kpnitrl

I am the concierge of a highrise building and this is an experience of one my residents.

Let me first say that the food is tasty and cheap. But I'm not here to reveiw the food, I'm here to tell you about my resident's experience.

My resident had coffee for breakfast and lunch (that's it). She came here for dinner with 'her' friend and they shared a vegetarian plate together. However, she ordered a pork entree (I don't remember which one) to eat by herself. The other lady was vegeterian and did not have any.

That night her world was turned upside with FOOD POISIONING. She ended being taken to the Dr.'s the next morning. She was given 2 different medications to help her recover. The Dr. quickly ruled out her daily coffee as the cause of her POISIONING. She was layed up from work for 3 days.

She called the restaurant 3 times and left messages. They refuse to speak with her about what happened. Frankly, she just wanted to tell them what she ate so they could investigate it. Their irresponsibility and concern for their patrons is a cause for alarm. I wonder if this has happened to others as well. The food is pretty cheap so it causes me to wonder just how fresh it really is.

Her meal came with a price that no one should have pay!

You've been warned.

• Pros: Cheap
• Cons: Sick as a dog!!

Best Puerto Rican

by dsepulveda

We searched the internet for a Puerto Rican restaurant in Seattle, WA. We went on a Firday night it was crowded but, that was because the food was WONDERFUL. The service was excellent along with the food. If you want really good food go there.

Really awful customer "service"

by SeattleCindy

Really awful customer service. I wasn't glad to see the other bad reviews but was happy to know that I wasn't being singled out, which is what I felt when I went to La Isla with my boyfriend. We we skipped over on the waiting list, another party being seated before us and the hostess was awful about it. I've told many people of my bad experience and while quite a few say they like the food, they've had only so-so experience as far as servers/hostesses go and with my recommendation, won't be going back. I think your Ballard dollars are better spent at another resturant.
