| - Kokomo's....hmmmm, my bf and i went here last month while we were in town. I called ahead and made reservations on the phone, while making the reservation, I had asked about the prixe fix menu they offered.
We arrived at the restaurant and we were seated in a timely manner. The place seemed nice, but I don't understand the whole dim lighting thing in restaurants.
Anyways, waitress came over and took our drink orders, i just ordered for now and my bf asked about a red wine she would recommend. She asked glass or bottle, he took ONE glass, she questioned if it was just one and I don't drink wine so just one. As for my water she asked if I wanted regular or bottled, not still or sparkling like they normally would at a restaurant like this. BTW, I heard her ask a table next to us if they wanted sparkling or still.
As she walked away, we had a chance to look at the menu. The menu we received was only the prixe fix menu. Just because I asked doesn't mean I don't want to see the regular menu. Now that I see we've only received the prixe fix menu, I think I understand why the waitress did what she did when we ordered our drinks. She probably thought we were cheap customers. You can't stereotype people nowadays. So now I was kinda upset, it's cool they were able to reflect that I asked about the prixe fix menu, but at least offer me the regular menu as well. I'm on vacation and I'm here to spend money, unless you don't want it, I can leave. But we chose to give them a chance since we were already there.
We were able to grab the attention of another waiter serving the table next to us, because ours just seemed to disappear for awhile. We asked for the regular menus and when he returned with them, he told us about the specials they had for the night without even hesitating. I liked him a lot, too bad he wasn't our waiter.
Well we ordered our food, I got the prixe fix menu and my bf got some steak with shrimp on top. I also ordered the lobster bisque that everyone was raving about.
So the food was good, the other people that brought out our food and drinks and the other table's waiter were awesome, but our waitress lady who chose to stereotype was being critiqued every minute and I didn't like her too much. I guess after we ordered from the regular menu on top of the prixe fix menu, she started to be a little nicer. But the fact that she acted the way she did in the beginning really disturbed me.
My bf and I are part of the middle class and we like to splurge every once in awhile. These servers at these higher end restaurants have to understand that. And if your restaurant is willing to put out a prixe fix menu, that means they are trying to attract other people so they too can enjoy the food they are providing, as well as the service. I wouldn't show up at restaurant or at least stay at a restaurant if I knew I couldn't afford it. You have to treat each person that walks into your restaurant equally at least when they first walk in. If they happen to be troublesome once you've seated and spoke to them, then I can understand the attitude, but not before you get that chance.
Because of her, my bf and I will probably not go to kokomo's again even tho the food was still good.
