So last Friday Sharkette and I went on a date after many months of no restaurant visits. We decided to check out the restaurant at the airport that we’ve heard so much about and try their Italian-American fare. Though the interior was nice, I found several things lacking. Maybe it’s because I’ve watched one too many Kitchen Nightmares with Gordon Ramsay, but some things are just so common that you should just know that you don’t do that in a restaurant.
First, if somebody orders a slice of pie for dessert, it would be nice if you told them it was frozen when they bite into it! I don’t know if it was supposed to have been served cold, or they forgot to defrost it, but Sharkette doesn’t dig ice pie.
Secondly, if you are going to be a waitress, try to look at least a little interested in your patrons. I know we might not be the most interesting people in the world, but we are paying for your tip so please show us some frakking courtesy!
Thirdly, though the adage, “if you got time to lean, you have time to clean,” is wonderful, please don’t do that when you still have diners eating! How annoying would it be if I invited you over for dinner and I vacuumed the dining room while you ate??? Seriously!
Fourthly, I know there is only an hour left before the restaurant closes, but you could you please not have the entire staff sitting at another table gabbing away??? I could hear everything they were saying, and I didn’t much care for their conversation. It’s bad enough having to listen to other diners, but I certainly don’t want to hear from the wait staff as well.
That said, the prime rib was outstanding and your fries were excellent. The bread sticks were to die for.
Chatty staff – bread sticks to die for. I believe that’s the making of an idea.
I was sort of thinking breadstick-as-ball gag if you will………..
That’s where you’ll usually find me.
