Kain, I hope your service was better than mine. You looked great by the way!! 1st time I've seen ya all snazzed up.
We were seated with menus and I watched as patrons of 2 boothes leave, get cleaned, new patrons seated and drink orders taken.
I grab a bus boy & ask if he can track us down a server. 3-4 minutes pass (we have been seated a good 15 min. by now) I watch as what turned out to be our server go take the order of one of the newly seated boothes. Finally after entering their order, she comes to our table for our drink order. No apology, nothing.
Fast forward to check time. She was average during the meal, checked on us etc. Meal was good. She returns with my card and a pen, thanks us and asks in a humerus way that I don't accidently leave with her pen.
I discuss with my date what tip I should leave. Definately not 20% service & since we sat a good 15 min. before getting her, 15% is nullified. I'm now in the 10-15% mindset.
Well barely 2 min. has passed since she brought card when she runs back over and asks "Is everything alright here?" I said yea, I just need a few minutes. She then says in an excited voice: "Well I need that pen!! Here, use this one!!" and hands me a red pen and runs off.
I was blown away!! I left 10% but kicked myself all the way home for not leaving less.
Charlotte Hall needs a restaurant!!!
