Tell us about the best waiter/waitress you've ever had
Paul and I were in Madison a few years back (before going vegan) and stopped at the Pizzeria Uno there. The waitress comes over, bright and cheery, and asks if we're ready to order.

I say yes and wait for her to get her pad and pen ready. Nothing. I asked if she wasn't going to write it down. She miles and says, "No, I'll be OK."

So we order the pizza, the appetizers and the drinks. I bet Paul that there'd be a mistake on the order.

She was phenomenal! Everything was perfect and she had several other tables that she was doing the same thing at.

BEST server I had ever seen.

3. I knew someone would louse this up...
Though I do admit I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

2. My brother Jim. When he lived in Chicago he waited tables at
Ed Debevec's as "Zeke" (that was his psuedonym, they all have them). I have to say (without much bias) he is the greatest waiter in the country. You can catch him in LA now...new restaurant...Hawaiian theme...can't remember the name.

5. Besides myself (haha)
it's the Chinese restaurant I regularly go to. They treat our family as one of their own. And every waitress there does it.

17. I would like to think it's me but
I doubt it. It's not that I make mistakes but I guess by that time of day (already have worked a full 9 hrs at my other job) I could be friendlier.

21. Hmm... I guess the guy at the Cotton Patch last month
He was very attentive... filled our glasses without having to be asked... and when I spilled a little on my chest, he brought me a moist towellette immediately. Very attentive and cheerful. He got a great tip.

When we mentioned what great service we had to the cashier, she knew right away who we were talking about. :D
