\"\"<\/a>The Sweet Service Award<\/strong> goes to Blues restaurant in Camps Bay, for its invitation to attend its inaugural Supper Club last week. Since the restaurant is back in family hands, they wish to get the personal touch back, said its Marketing Manager Christine Hommel. Once a month they will host a Supper Club dinner, by invitation only, with a special wine list. \u00a0Themes for the dinners will vary. Four half-size tasting portions were served, to give guests a taste of the menu, including Mushroom Risotto, Kingklip, Mediterranean Chicken Roulade, and Sticky Toffee pudding. Chef Lorenzo requested feedback for each dish from each guest, guiding him in his menu development. \u00a0They will also run a recipe competition, and the best recipe will become a dish added to the summer menu.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Sour Service Award<\/strong> goes to Independent Newspapers and its Subscription department. \u00a0We have subscribed to the Cape Times <\/strong>and Cape Argus<\/strong> for years, in Camps Bay, Franschhoek, and in Fresnaye. While there is nothing nicer than having the paper arrive on one’s doorstep, there is nothing worse than not receiving it. \u00a0The company is extremely poor at responding to delivery complaints, delivers undelivered papers up to a week later when notified, and when it does respond, always has an excuse why the paper was not delivered. \u00a0Only one apology has ever been received for the delivery problems experienced in the past ten years.<\/p>\n

The <\/span>WhaleTales Sweet & Sour Service Awards<\/strong> are presented every Friday on the WhaleTales blog.\u00a0 Nominations for the Sweet and Sour Service Awards can be sent to Chris von Ulmenstein at <\/span>info@whalecottage.com<\/span><\/a>.<\/span> <\/span>Past winners of the Sweet and Sour Service Awards can be read on the Friday posts of this blog, and in the <\/span>WhaleTales <\/strong>newsletters on the <\/span>www.whalecottage.com<\/a> website.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
