"I had the opportunity to visit Walnut Creek today and was excited to have lunch at Lokanta, as I had enjoyed dining there a few times before the pandemic. However, my experience today was disappointing compared to my previous visits. The highlight of my meal was the cocktail I ordered. I decided on the meatballs, baked prawns, rice pilaf, and roasted Brussels sprouts. The rice was average, but everything else was overcooked. The meatballs were charred, tough, and dry, lacking flavor. Similarly, the prawns were dry, chewy, and overcooked. The Brussels sprouts were the worst of all, appearing black and shriveled, and tasted disgusting. When I mentioned my dislike for the dish to the server, he took it away and brought back the same burnt Brussels sprouts. Despite only tasting one and disliking it, I was still charged for the dish. This was a first for me and left me quite shocked."
