Here is an excerpt from Todd Kliman's chat on washingtonian.com regarding a chatter's complaint about another restaurant (frankly, I don't remember the name of the restaurant, but I don't think that matters anway): "Thanks for writing in. It's always worth getting feedback. "But take a place off the list because of your one, bad experience? Which didn't mirror my own? And who's to say you might not have a vendetta against the restaurant?" Well chosen words, Mr. Kliman, and we'd all do well to heed them when we read a customer complaint about any restaurant. And as Tom Sietsema and others have said many times, if you don't call the problem to management's attention, they can't be expected to do anything about it.

My husband I were there with some friends last Sunday evening. The restaurant was very busy and our waiter seemed a bit overwhelmed. He said the restaurant was out of several things we requested -- to the point where we just went along with his suggestions. The food was good, though not as good as when Chef You-Know-Who was there, and the service was excellent. Two members of our group asked for separate checks, which the waiter handled very well.

Does anyone here know whether Dragon Star in the Eden Center is closed? A group of us tried to go there one evening last week and found their phone had been disconnected.
