$25 for a burger and a coke. Why no, not a Kobe burger. A turkey burger.
We sat on the "outside" patio so we could watch the crowd go by. Oh, and to also horribly inconvenience our waiter by being in his section. That's a bit harsh, but a serious pet peeve of mine is when you sit down at a restaurant, and your server basically tells you in advance that your service will most likely suck but it's not his fault because a) it's finals week; b) he had a rough night; c) his mother didn't breast feed him; d) whatever other stupid reason he feels is relevant for giving you crap service and knowing that he'll give you crap service before it even happens; but rather than try to give you good service, would rather make an excuse as to why he's so crappy a server. I sense a HOOGE tip in your future sweetie.
IF you screw up and we seem angry, then apologize and offer the reason why you may be a little off, if you must. But to start things off with that? Instant failure. Then when we ask for separate checks to say you're not sure and you have to check with a manager? Sweetie, how long have you worked here? I'll come over to your computer screen and show you how to split a check. How's college going for you anyway?
He totally rubbed me the wrong way and for mediocre food served in a mediocre location with mediocre service at exorbitant prices, I'm just not in all that forgiving of a mood.
If I'm going to get reamed for my meal, I may as well eat somewhere nice.
