$$$$Price: Moderate • Thai • Jacksonville
My husband and I invited another couple to join us for dinner at Bkie Orchid. I made the reservation. The food (Pad Thai, Massaman Curry, Green Curry, and Mango chicken) was delicious as always and the service was excellent given how crowded the restaurant was. All was very good until the time for payment. Our server approached our guest and asked for his phone number so he could get rewards. As it turned out, the dinner put him at a level to get $10 in rewards taken off the bill that evening. Then the server approached my husband but refused to take his phone number for rewards. He said only one phone number per table could have rewards related to the entire table’s order, no matter how large the party. What is wrong with this picture?! I made the reservation and invited our guests. Yet the guests got the rewards points. Clearly the server didn’t know or care who had made the reservation. My husband and I like Blue Orchid and may return but just by ourselves. It would be to Blue Orchid’s benefit to do the fair thing and assign rewards to all parties based on the amount of their check.
