Cat Deeley Lashes Out at Restaurant, Gets Owned by Waiter

Cat Deeley sent a message to Los Angeles eatery Tom George this week.

And the message went something like:

So… you think you can serve food well?!?

Very, very, very, VERY unhappy with her service at the restaurant over the weekend, the reality show host shared a screenshot of the Italian establishment’s Google profile on Sunday.

She wrote as a caption:

“The worst featuring! Worst food! As for the manager?????? Moron!!!!!

“The most disgusting restaurant, terribly run, by a manager – who can only be described as an amateur. Avoid at all costs. #tomgeorge.”

That’s perfectly fair, right?

We can’t speak on exactly what transpired between Deeley and the manager, or anyone inside the restaurant, but there’s nothing wrong with voicing one’s opinion on social media in this sort of circumstance.

When her Twitter followers asked Deeley what the heck happened, she replied that she was served “terrible food” and it was “absolutely awful.”

She then proceeded to bash the crap out of the Italian restaurant in numerous follow-up messages, telling one follower:

“I give it 3 months.”

Again: Cool. Fine. All good. Whatever.

This is her Twitter account and her prerogative.

But things then turned dicey for Deeley, as her Tweet storm actually caught the attention of her waiter at Tom George.

And he actually responded!

With a damning accusation aimed at Deeley’s response to her awful dining experience.

First, he explained that Tom George comped part of her meal.

Then, he wrote the following:

“Cat, as your server at TomGeorge I am hurt by your response to free food. I gave you respect, and I served you with love.”

The waiter included with this Tweet a photo of the British TV host’s alleged receipt, showing that she received $ 123 off her $ 200 bill, and gave the server no tip.

Yikes! Game, set, match, random waiter, right?

Deeley got a pretty sweet deal at the eatery and didn’t leave a penny for the poor guy serving her courses (and likely listening to all of her complaints) ?

“The food was terrible and your manager was unhelpful and rude. Respect and love should be shown to all, attention to detail is necessary too!” Deeley Tweeted in reply, adding:

“And as I respectfully told you, the catalogue of errors were not your fault. However the mistakes were repeatedly not correctly rectified.”

Deeley concluded her rant by saying she had to send her food back five times.

“Just to be clear. Our order arrived at the table incorrectly FIVE times!” she wrote. “Then one of my guests dishes was inedible. There was zero service.”

Wait a second, Cat: Was it the waiter’s fault or not?

You appear to have changed your story after being called out.

It’s one thing to slam a restaurant for a shoddy experience.

But unless you personally witnessed your waiter spit on your food, there’s really no excuse for stiffing him (completely) on a tip.

Tom George, meanwhile, responded on Facebook with its side of the story … and even invited Deeley back for another meal.

“We are listening to any feedback because we need to provide the best service … In this case we couldn’t do anything,” the eatery wrote.

“She didn’t like the food so we comped all of the food items, then she tweeted a lot of inappropriate tweet[s] although we tried to ease her ‘pain.’ But she’s still very welcome in our restaurant again if she gives us any chance to prove to her, the lot of good reviews are for a reason.”

We’re just gonna go ahead and and offer two free pieces of advice to all celebrities here:

1. Always tip your waiter.


2. Never complain in public about your meal at a very expensive restaurant.

We think Deeley and her reputation are about to learn these lessons the hard way.
