some issues during dinner

late wineuncooked potatoes
the dinner experience was somewhat disappointing. one dish wasn't available, and the waiter forgot to bring a menu when informing me. the wine arrived late, and they even forgot which wine we ordered. i needed to request a steak knife because the pork was hard to cut and my potatoes were not hasselback as described, just new potatoes with slits.
