For once in my life I ate at a restaurant alone so I sat at the bar. The bartender was fast and helpful but didn't make casual conversation. I'm not sure if it's different in the mainland compared to Hawaii but back home I make conversation with my solo customers to help make them feel less awkward for dining in alone. He was very quick with my drink. Salad and bread sticks came out quick then shortly after my entree, stuffed chicken Marsala, came out. Everything was great. He didn't ask me if I saved room for dessert which was a little disappointing. Even though his serving etiquette wasn't amazing I still tipped him $6 on a $20 tab.
Tip- everyone should tip servers AT LEAST 18% off of the original tab. If that's too hard to figure out just do 20% or use your CELL PHONE to figure out how much tip to leave. Servers tip out other workers and make little to NOTHING on hourly pay. Be kind to your server!! They bring you food and drinks.
