Dear Ms. Sokol:

I have received your letter of January 7 concerning your recent visit to our restaurant in London. I am very sorry that you did not have an enjoyable experience. I agree that you should not have had to wait over thirty minutes for a table when you had made a reservation in advance. Please know that this was an isolated incident and that our customers usually remark on the promptness of our staff.

In an attempt to remedy this unfortunate situation, I am sending you a complimentary voucher for use at any of our restaurants. I encourage you to try us again and experience our award-winning cuisine. If there is any way in which I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me by telephone or mail.

Sincerely,

Simon Jenkins
Director
