Recently while in the Bay Area (near San Fran) while visiting my husband while he’s on contract there, we met a couple of his colleagues for mojitos and tapas.
Joe and I arrived earlier than his colleagues and Joe wanted to wait before ordering his drink (he had pitcher of mojitos in mind). I on the other hand, wasn’t going to wait for my glass of wine. I ordered and we waited for our friends to arrive.
The young waiter was wound just a little too tight. While it’s great to have attentive service (so rare these days), I don’t need checking on every five minutes. He checked on us while we were waiting and then once our friends arrived every five minutes thereafter. Do you need more tapas? Do you need more drinks? Relax! That’s the whole point of tapas and cocktails! You have one or two of them at a time. I could spend 3-4 hours nibbling and sipping. Okay I don’t sip, but I do nibble!
All in all was a great night, wonderful food and yes attentive service, I just think our charming young waiter needed a couple of mojitos himself!
Cheers,
P
