Default I, Too, Apologize

I know the positives are easier to overlook than the negatives. Truth be told, I have been a customer of WP's for a LONG TIME. The food was always good. The mark of a good restaurant is consistency, it was obvious at my last visit that the quality of the lobster rolls was not consistent with what has been previously reported or experienced. At the time of my visit, there were many of the lobster rolls served besides the 2 we got. As I was sitting close to where the servers came out of the kitchen, it appeared that all the lobster rolls contained the stringy leg meat rather than the tail and claw meat. The rest of the food served was hot, fresh and prepared well.
Once again, my intent is not to flame or denigrate the reputation of any establishment, but rather report, as honestly and accurately as I can, MY experience on a particular visit.
I like to think that the owner/operators of WP's and any future reviewed eateries will accept them as constructive criticism and correct the issues accordingly. My comments, corroborated by others is a clear indication that something is awry with the lobster rolls at WP's. Maybe the 3 rating was a little harsh, but I would not rate it to anything higher than a 4. The decision to return to the quality of the lobster that we all previously enjoyed is entirely up to the owners of the restaurant.
Did you see my latest review of Louis Nasis's Famous Pizza?
Phantom, I also sincerely apologize for my post to you -- I did take your post in a very negative manner, I wouldn't have replied to you the way I did had you stated in your first post that you were a longtime customer of WP's. (Of course, my crystal ball wasn't working that night, so I didn't know you had been one ) You didn't have your crystal ball working either, so you didn't realize that I had read many posts from "one post wonders" who only pop in to make a negative comment and then disappear, so when I read your post, well, what can I say. I, however, can say NOW I appreciate your post, in light of your response to Pineneedles, (and I hope you don't confuse us, as we both use the bear for our avatar - I HAD IT FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol) and I hope you can accept my apology also. Perhaps we will meet sometime on the lake -- preferably at a restaurant where we can share reviews!
