| - Hard day bargain hunting across the street at Bed Bath & Beyond deserved (in my mind, at least) a good, albeit late, lunch. A warm, breezy, 71 degrees demanded sitting on patio. The daily drink special persuaded me to order a Long Island Ice Tea, and man, was it potent. The only reason (other than self control) that I've never been drunk, is I never drink on an empty stomach. This LIIT was kick-you-in-your-butt potent. Geez, you'd think the bartender was my BF. Thank God for the granola bar I always carry.
Dave, my server, was GREAT. Fun, postive, polite, fun, professional. Had nothing but nice things to say about my other favorite server, Kim. That's class!
I'm open to suggestions, so Dave suggested the Sizzlin' Shrimp & Chicken. It arrived piping hot, with two tidy mounds of creamy potatoes, topped with fresh, chopped scallions.
The six small shrimp, peeking from under the chicken, were still in their shells! This was not a welcome surprise, and I asked Dave about that. He said he too, was surprised, and they shouldn't have had shells. The manager stopped a minute later, and apologized. He used to instruct his chefs to remove the shells, but then corporate ordered the shells left on. He comped my LIIT, though I asked for nothing, and asked me to make sure on future visits to ask for him personally if I needed anything.
Botoom line, it was good food, potent drink, a beautiful day on their patio, and Dave was attentive, friendly, yet professional. A nice bonus, my entree was free, using my Friday's rewards. Dinner done right.
