So what other dishes would you recommend?

Thanks for the great detail on the dishes you ordered. :)

I find this story very hard to believe and the fact that you took this much time and energy to write it is very sad. There is not a waitress in Chiccarines Restaurant who would chase a customer out to ask about the service and then tell them “DON’T COME BACK HERE”. An entree coming out with cheese on it or soup that is not hot does not mean that the food has gone downhill. Chiccarine’s is a well- established good restaurant that very rarely gets any complaints and has not lost any customers. If you wanted to speak to the manager so badly when you called then you should have left a message so that she could call you back. Maybe on a Saturday night, with three children, you should go to Applebees for dinner….or maybe, just starve…as you suggested!
