      Resolved
      I ordered three to-go entrees, with two containing shrimp at the ************ location. Both of the shrimp dishes contained uncooked shrimp. As a result of eating some of the uncooked shrimp, I became ill during the night and early morning. I was prescribed medication for food poisoning due to nausea, diarrhea, and dehydration. Besides the undercooked meals, I received spaghetti with a label on it to refrigerate and microwave directions. I didn't order frozen food. I ordered expected freshly cooked food. I suspect that the other two entrees were supposed to have the same label as the spaghetti, but someone failed to put the uncooked stickers on the containers.

      I wanted to bring to your attention an unfortunate experience I had with a recent To-Go order from your establishment.I placed an order for two steaks and salmon, intending to enjoy them for a celebration. Upon arrival to pick up my order, I discovered that one of the steaks was cooked to medium-well instead of the requested doneness. When I raised this concern, I was informed that it would take an additional 20 minutes to correct the error. Regrettably, due to time constraints, I couldn't afford to wait.After expressing my dilemma, the situation was escalated to the manager, who assured me that the steak would only take 10 minutes. However, there was no acknowledgment or solution offered for the delay in receiving the other items of my order.To exacerbate matters, when I inquired about the remaining food, I was met with a dismissive response suggesting that reheating was an option, accompanied by a smirk. This response was not only unprofessional but also deeply disappointing.Furthermore, the manager's attempt at intimidation by questioning my name, both first and last, was unnecessary and only added to the discomfort of the situation.As a loyal patron of Capital Grille, I have never encountered such poor treatment. I believe in giving feedback constructively, and I hope this incident can be addressed to prevent similar occurrences in the future.Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to your response.Sincerely,
