| - 5 stars for food preparation, and ambiance. 3 stars for service: good/average overall, not stellar: no personal touches, no menu recommendations, and there was at least one bread basket that was dumped on the table with a thud. We had a very nice time and I will go back.
I normally don't bother writing a 3 star review, but, at the end of the meal, our server asked how everything was, then, after we said "it was great," he introduced himself for the first time, and asked for a review. When we gave a "maybe" type response, he repeatedly asked, and said that sometimes people say they will and then never do, pressuring for a promise we would, making the 'yelp ask' the last impression of the meal, and, the most time he had taken talking to us during the meal. I'm not mentioning his name (he wrote it down) because I want to express my displeasure without getting anyone in trouble, as he was acting like these reviews had a major impact on his life at this restaurant. Maybe management chose to dole out bonuses based on yelps, and it sucks for the customer.
You can ask, but don't make it weird. -- and I should already have heard your name and feel special if you hope for a 5 star review.
