too picky

S and I eat often at a couple of restaurants. For the record, it’s the Highlevel Diner and Dadeo’s that make my mouth water. Despite the consistently good food and awesome service, we both feel as though we should try new restaurants every once in a while. And each time, almost without fail, it’s a debacle. P and I get great service at the Blue Plate, but when I’m there with S, no go even though, well, he tips more. Today S and I tried an Italian restaurant on ffice:smarttags" />Whyte Ave. Now, we were there right after yoga, so we were both pretty calm and understanding. But they sat us at a dirty table – we were the only people in the back of the restaurant – and then no one came by. No water, no ‘be right with you’, no nothing. So after three songs and seeing the waitress nearby (it’s like she was trained to not make eye contact) we got up to leave, at which point she was right at our table. I don’t get it – we were both nicely dressed, we weren’t sweaty or loud or anything that when I was waitressing would make me want to avoid a table. At any rate, we went back to the HLD and had a lovely meal.

S has vowed to never try another restaurant again. I find his extremism kind of cute lately.
