My task was the following:
You recently had a meal at your friend David's restaurant, on the same evening that a food critic was there. The critic's review has since appeared in a local newspaper.
Write a letter to the editor of the newspaper, giving reasons why you disagree with the review and explaining why you recommend the restaurant.
I had to mention some information:
- the restaurant was opened in 1992
- the critic is not right when he states that the food was supposed to be 'authentic French' but he doubts the chef has ever even been to France
- the diners were not disappointed
- the reason why the owner never made an appearance
Dear Editor,
I am writing to express my disappointment regarding the lack of accuracy which appeared in the review of the Corso Bistro & Café in your newspaper. I was dining in this restaurant at the same time as your critic, Joe Carroll, and in my opinion, his observations were completely unrealistic.
Firstly, Mr Carroll should have checked the precise date of the bistro’s opening, as it was established in 1992, and not just ‘recently opened’.
Mr Carroll’s remarks on the food were absolutely unfair. If he had taken the effort to consult with the chef, he would have found out that he has won several awards due to his profound knowledge of French cuisine.
The large tips and the praising words to the waiters suggest that the diners were completely satisfied with the quality of the service they got.
It is true that David, the owner of the bistro was not there at that night, but if Mr Carroll had asked any of the waiters, he would have been informed that David was in the hospital due to a minor car accident.
I would recommend this restaurant to anyone without hesitation. I have been going there for more than 10 years now, and not a single time have I been disappointed by their service.
Yours faithfully,
