Why didn't you send it back? Especially at a "very expensive"
restaurant, this is something you shouldn't silently suffer. If
necessary I would have asked the host/hostess if you could speak with
the manager as the server should have remembered you asked for no
cilantro and noticed that the dish was not properly prepared.

If you don't have the spine to say something when the item isn't what
you asked for, perhaps eating out isn't for you.
