Picky, Picky, Leigha!!

I know, I know, I suck. And frankly, your post made me hungry, too. Maybe I was just resentful of the meal I wanted, but you had.

Picky, Picky, Leigha!! I write a blog not professional journalism but just for you I fixed my grammar glitch and spelling. Now I am hungry.

Tara, Cat, MB, and Jane — it’s a dagte!

Bummer, Mike. I don't know how long they've been open - maybe... working out the glitches? It's double the bummer that it happened on a dagte.

But, since I would like to try brunch first, I'm hoping for a different waiter dude.

Tara: We'll post something in the open thread if we get some peeps together.

Mike, he must have thought you were deaf.

Mike, that sucks that you had such a bad experience. I admit that when I went, my waiter wasn’t exactly tip-top, but we didn’t have any major screw-ups or anything. He just seemed a little confused. Maybe it was the same guy. Hopefully their other servers are better.

Cat: I'm excited to try Cafe Agri.

I went there last Friday.

1) Waiter dude took 5-10 minutes to give us menus
2) When the waiter dude served the wine, he didn't let either of us sample it before pouring both glasses -- which he then tried to swirl, spilling wine all over the table
3) There were lipstick stains on both my water glass and my wine glass
4) The waiter dude gave me a new wine glass but didn't remove the old, stained glass
5) My food took approx. 45 minutes after ordering -- and it still came out 15 minutes before my date's entree
6) Food was cold and unremarkable
7) At the end of it all, the waiter dude handed me the bill and asked, "Is this okay, or...?" It was as if he knew they'd screwed up, but wouldn't write anything off unless I asked him to do so in front of my date. Which I did.

Not going back.
