Minding Your Manners

Though it doesn't make it into the paper, we do get a fair amount of correspondence via phone, e-mail, or snail mail in which readers air their complaints about experiences in local restaurants. We don't print it because it's Chronicle policy not to take a position on business complaints about incidents we didn't witness and can't substantiate, but it does make for very interesting reading.

"...Lobster Bisque and then complain that it tastes like bacon. You check with the chef and find out the..."

Collective Sole

City Grill hasn't lost its stride, Barbara Chisholm writes. In its early days, it was one of a few spots in Austin that offered good dining in a sophisticated atmosphere. These days, the competition in that arena is considerably more intense, and yet it remains popular and perfectly in style. It's not an easy trick.
