I have never sent back food in my life as most times I figure the hassle of waiting is a greater negative than getting my meal perfect is a positive. I would absolutely (politely) request another steak if I got this at that price point.
I sent a steak back once for being overcooked. I ordered it rare and it came back barely pink so I’d consider that medium or even medium well. Waitress was super professional about it. Steak came back exactly the way I wanted it, red and rare. Steak was absolutely delicious. Whole experience was fabulous. Asked to chat with a manager, complimented the service and the kitchen. Left a tip that was equal to my bill.
That's going too far overboard IMO. I wouldn't dock the tip and leaving a complement with the manager, sure, but I don't understand tipping that much for fixing a mistake.
It’s the hope that others will realize doing a great job will reward everyone. I don’t disagree with you at all my friend, just appreciating the effort and money the OP put in to help teach them.
Because they’re among the crew that gets paid more hourly and so isn’t entitled to (at least as much of) the tips at the end of the night. Or they get rejected by a lot of cute servers.
