The Godfrey Hotel Boston in Boston

My wife and I dined here on Sat 12/2. The food and service were exceptional as many of the other reviewers have stated.

However, I am incredibly disappointed with the lack of follow-up and respect the restaurant has showed. After about 2.5 hours of eating at the restaurant, my wife became incredibly ill. The symptoms were generally worse than a simple norovirus. I called the restaurant the next morning, and left a voicemail detailing when & what we ate at the restaurant and that my wife had gotten ill. Two days later, my wife visited her primary care doctor, and after several tests - my wife was diagnosed with Trichinosis - a roundworm based in tainted pork. My wife's dish was the Sunday Gravy, which contains pork and it was the only pork she ate that weekend.

I called the restaurant and asked to speak with a manager. The host was kind, and after a ~5 min wait, I was told the manager was in a meeting, could not speak & that they would call me back. I did not receive a call back. Two days later I again tried to reach a person of management, and was told again the manager could not be reached and that I would be called back. My wife, having used an online reservation service to make our original reservation, attempted to contact them through this reservation service as well on 12/13. Still no response.

Again, I will reiterate that the food and staff were wonderful - up until the food poisoning. I am incredibly disappointed by the seeming lack of respect that this staff has exhibited by refusing to acknowledge or follow-up.
