What would you do if you were in a restaurant where the service was great but you ordered a steak medium rare and it came out well done?

I think I'd very politely ask for another one. I can't remember ever sending back food, but I like a good steak!

This wouldn't be a problem, as I would never order a medium-rare steak and would want it well done!
I have sent steaks back before for them to cook a little more.

Politely of course.
I absolutely cannot eat a steak that is more then medium, and sometimes medium is pushing it! it tastes like leather to me... I like mine to moo a little when I cut into it
The thing you gotta remember is that the waitress didn't cook the steak, so its not really her fault that it came out overdone, all cooked steaks look the same on the outside
she probably didn't even realize it

I'd send it back. If the restaurant is suppose to be great, then they'll fix it for me.
Of course though normally I order my steaks medium-well...but would definitely send it back if it were well done...burnt stuff- YUCK!

Where my cats are
I prefer my meat thoroughly cooked so I wouldn't have ordered it that way anyway.

But if I had, i'd probably just eat it because I'm too nice.

Here... or There... Hmmm
I only eat them meduim well, but if I had ordered it the other way I probably would just eat it anyway, or mention it but keep it just to let them know I was not satisfied!
