the review
The food wasn’t fresh, and I didn’t feel well afterward. The cakes were very dry, as if they had been baked several days ago.

what we would have written
Food safety sits above everything else we do, so a review like this is taken seriously. On the cakes: dry means stale, and stale means it should not have gone out. That is a straightforward standard. We are sorry the visit left you unwell.
