There is a precident . A waitress was convicted of serving peanuts in a cake to a customer who asked if it had peanuts .

Convicted? You best read the article again, I look forward to your retraction.

This whole story leaves out so much here.There are no interviews with the guys boss or the waiter himself. this puff cake litigant sounds like the a little loose around the edges
Iam of the opinion this whole deal is being handled in the wrong way

I first read the CBC article in which the diner states:

"With the dim lighting, it's not easy to tell the difference between two dishes, especially if they use mayonnaise. It can be confusing," Canuel said.

I ain't no Wolfgang Puck. But I think mayo in my BEEF tartare would be a red flag I hadn't received what I ordered.

I have never had a tartare of any sort and wouldn't know one from another. That doesn't mean I wouldn't order it to try it out though.

'Salmon tartare" regardless is RAW FISH - whether in a dip or not. Beef (steak) tatare is a whole different animal. Perhaps the customer was so unsophisticated that he seemed not to know the difference.

BTW - I have dined out considerably and have NEVER seen 'beef (steak) tartare presented as a 'dip' for ANYTHING. Ick - RAW beef in a sauce for dipping your veggies in? GROSS!!

No, dontrump was talking about tartar sauce, which is a commonly used condiment for fish. I think he figured it out and edited his post with the explanation.
You are correct, beef or salmon tartare is minced raw meat.....with other stuff usually.
