I read the OP and thought why should the restaurant treat a person poorly at any time? The whole background of what the poster’s wife went through is immaterial to the treatment from the owner, it would be inappropriate at any time.
When writing a letter of complaint you must leave the emotion out of it and state the facts.
The facts as I read it is a large group went to the Alki Cafe and they were treated poorly. If I had been in the group I never would have placed an order, but left almost immediately after the attitude.
While I appreciate the outpouring of support for the loss of the OP’s child, it is a separate issue from the bad service received.
And everyone has a right to their opinion. Some of you here seem to think if it doesn’t fall into lock-step with yours it shouldn’t be posted. I for one hope lintle sticks around WSB.
