here is the email I sent them the day after my Bday dinner:

My husband and I went to CA last night for dinner and although I've been going there for many years I have to say I was surprised last night.

The grilled shrimp I had for supper must of been previously frozen. I make them at home myself so I know the difference between using a fresh shrimp versus one that has been even lightly frozen.

It used to be that you could consistently count on a good meal from CA. What happened?

***************************

Toni - I used to go once a week or more (in my previous life) - it was like McDonalds for us. You could always always count on a consistently good meal at that time - early 80's. That was back when Mitch (bless his heart) was the greeter & seater and I personally knew him so there was no long wait time :)

That was when - sigh - that I could always order grilled Red Snapper unless they ran out early.

Sure you can pass it along. I just don't believe that they will do anything.

You can buy fresh shrimp any day of the week here. (Best place to buy? At the St. Andrews marina) You just can't make grilled shrimp with frozen shrimp - no way, no how. And I'm sure CA knows that.

That was the first time in over 40 years that I'd ever been served frozen shrimp from CA's. It was a shock for me and I honestly thought they'd be concerned that a true born and raised local was served a not up to par meal. I mean everybody knows WOM is the best advertising, or at least it used to be.

I mean I KNOW what this was supposed to taste like. And it didn't.
