put down Jerome Moreau when I applied. But again when I was accepted (and it was not until then you heard about the 500€ per year fee) I decided not to join. Cabrales, you could easily mention to one of the servers (they...

it looks like nothing has changed in this place for over 30 years. The waitstaff is young and eager, and service is quick, and prices are VERY reasonable. It wont take you long to choose a glass of wine to go with your meal. When...

I just always ask the server to give me some carnitas “doradas con cueritos”—crisp with skin.

and requested a small carafe. That request was not greeted warmly, and we could see the waiter talking to another server and shrugging and gesturing toward us. So probably we committed some gaffes in the situation which triggered...

were sitting near the door in the little alcove with the windows when the servers disappeared. Maybe too far from the kitchen. I wonder if there is prime seating at Yank Sing and not so good seating in terms of the carts.

was about 2 years ago (on vaca here) so I don’t remember Hing Lung. Have you guys seem my (preliminary) database of restaurants I’ve tried here yet? http://www.leunghwu.com Click on restaurants, but please don’t...

of enthusiasm on the part of servers, that kind of thing, - no fun unless, I guess, you are part of a tour. Of the other three, I’d say Bofinger is so-so, but there are always French people there, and the food is not...

kids might need some convincing on these options depending on their age and houndliness quotient but it might work out. Just my US$.02. I hate Chili’s and the Black-Eyed Pea because you run a great risk of getting an awful...

a “fancy” meal for the kids and a friend or two, and have mom(s) and dad(s) be the servers. The kids can all dress up, parents can wear "server uniforms" and you can welcome them into the “restaurant”. Set...

.5% of the OP’s food and drink total. Here in CA, the tax + tip comes to about 25% of the price of the food, and that’s if you only tip 15% on the food, rather than on the total (including tax). Painful, maybe, but...

I believe we all received the small crème brules, and if memory server correctly, we may have also received some pot du crèmes. (Perhaps some of the other diners along for this visit will show up and refresh my memory). As I noted...

The last time we went the server spoke Cantonese. If wish to discuss the meal with the chef Mandrain is a must. Let us know when you go. Maybe by August I will have lost the weigth I gain eat my way thur Canada. But that is...

they used Uncle Ben’s instead of sushi rice and the rolls looked like they were assembled by a child. They didn’t taste bad, but the quality was definitely not comparable to other places I’ve been to. Everything...

(6 rue Croix des Petits Champs) A little café with what appears to be a husband (chef) and wife (server) team, who both seem very genuinely pleasant. A superb lunchtime bargain. There is a bigger seating area in the back and the...
