| - 2nd time at Fring's.
2 Stars because the food was good.
This time with Family + 1 child.
Saturday night, busy. Susar Lee greats us at the door. Nice fella.
We are immediately seated at the front room, really nice space.
1 French guy as our waiter + 2 servers + 1 girl + 1 tall guy with CIA headset roaming around this 10ft x 10ft room. Not sure why we need security.
We give our orders to the French guy.
The food starts to come.
Crab cakes are excellent, as is the Papardalle pasta; FYI someone at our table hated it, really they hated the truffle flavour. Savages.
Ok after 8 courses, the guy with the headset is now a fixture, hovering above our table. Constantly staring at us. Eventually he takes all the plates. This is clearly not a job he does often or well. But why?
OHHHHHHHHHHH he wants us the fuck out.
French waiter, after receiving a whispered speech, at our table from CIA Steve.
"umm ok are we all le finished? or shall I bring the desserrrr menu?"
Me: "no, you can bring out the remaining dishes that we have been waiting for."
French waiter "oh, I am not a'whereee" riffles through his notes
Me "well I am not sure who is, you took the order. Its 2 orders of chicken and waffles + 1 papardalle"
France: "oh of course...it is here...le kitchen has made a mistake"
CIA STEVE IS VISABLY PISSED, because we are here for another 20 mins at least.
Food arrives, well worth the wait.
Finish it up fairly quickly, CIA Steve drops the dessert menu, we plates still at the table.
We pay the bill and leave.
NEW RULE: if you are wearing a headset, because you are security, be security. Which mean you will hide or stay in the background.
