On November 6th, we went out for our Anniversary dinner. My friend, Mary-Margaret, kept Tillman for us, so we could enjoy a date night! As you can see by his photos, he just loved being with Mary-Margaret! You should also note he is in his swing. Man, does he love that thing (attention Mrs. Pregnants-this is must have baby item)!
well....
until 2AM....
Let me preface this by saying-Nick has only seen me get sick 3 times since we have been married (twice while pregnant...so really only 1 time). My November 6th meal at Peninsula Grill was the 3rd time (yes ladies, the "throw up" kind of sick). I woke up at 11PM with a bad feeling and thinking this is not going to be a good night. Boy was I right. By 2AM my 5 star Peninsula Grill dinner was in the toilet.
***Food poising or any kind of food that doesn't "agree" with me is of top concern because what I eat, Tillman eats. I wasn't sure what to do after I got sick. Was I to still breastfeed or "pump and dump?" I was concerned that Tillman was going to be the next to get sick.
I feel the need to tell you about this because I called Peninsula Grill the next day. I called in good spirit to tell them what happened, and I followed up my concern of getting sick with "I don't expect anything, just wanted to let you know." Honestly I didn't expect anything just wanted them to check the goat cheese, so someone else didn't experience the same thing. The Peninsula Grill manager, Richard, was a first class JERK! He informed me that all of their products are ordered fresh and there was nothing wrong with their food...basically saying I had a weak stomach or something... Regardless if that was the case of a weak stomach or not, I've eaten my fair share of McDonald's food, and it has never made me sick, so the "fresh" ingredients at Peninsula Grill sure shouldn't!
He ended the conversation with not "I'm sorry. Thank you for letting us know, I will make sure to look over our stock." BUT with, "If you ever want to dine at Peninsula Grill again, I can assist you with reservations!" (We didn't have trouble getting reservations the day of, so I don't think we'll have trouble getting them in the future...no, we won't be back.) I didn't say anything to him after the reservation comment, as it wasn't worth my time.
So, if you are wondering about the Peninsula Grill, I personally think it is the worst restaurant in Charleston! As we were eating our meal (before getting sick), we didn't think their steak was as good as Oak and Grill 225. Not sure what all the hype is about over Peninsula Grill, but save your money and go to Oak or Grill 225.
Oh, and for those wondering if the 3rd time getting "icky" sick was from me being pregnant again, the answer is no! But, Nick and I both laughed about the possibility. Tillman and that child would be in the same grade in school....weird!
