It takes a waiter-tress who asks about my drink being filled before they just take the initative to fill it--sometimes I want something else next

the order should be taken soon and I shouldn't be kept waiting

a friendly "is everything ok" twice during the meal

dont make me wait for the check--when Im done I want to leave-pronto

act like Im the center of the universe

Im a damned good tipper so Im not being too outrageous here

COSIGN If there is one tyhing I HATE the most is the who waiting for the bill serenade AND yeah when I pay the money at a fine resturant you better be actin like its a fine resturant and show me Im the center of the Universe

it has everything to do with the FOOD,
but also a tablecloth and cloth
napkins is a must.
attentiveness by the staff.
anything that keeps my date or me
from having to spend any time
thinking or speaking of the SERVICE
until it's time to leave.
I AM King BAD a.k.a. BAD,
YOU EITHER WANNA BE ME, OR BE JUST LIKE ME

What does it take? Candle light? Violins? A lobster bib? What???

Fine Dining is usually a supper club where the atmosphere is very elegant. For instance one restaurant i liked to frequent with my ex, had antique furnishings & decor, white cloth tablecloths & napkins, stained glass lamps over every table, and most tables were next to a huge window overlooking one of the great lakes. the menu was pared down, as the less offerings a menu has, usually the better the food. restrooms were done in marble with dressing tables, flowers, red velvet carpeting. candles graced the dinner tables also. on certain special evenings or upon request of the customer, there was a band playing. no dancing. yes, lobster, (no bibs) steaks, delicacies were available, wine of your choice, champagne, or cocktails. the outside sported a garden-type setting, with cement ponds and carp in the summer months. white xmas lights adorned the trees outside all year. it was gorgeous and romantic. huge sailboats or yachts docked there to have dinner or a drink in the summer coming off the lake from various locations. just my favorite place!
May the BELLS ring 4 U even when ur not in love. hug kisses

I went to a resturaunt like that The placve was called The HOBNOB and it was straight out of the sixties the interior was John Waters does Liberace but the food was more than your outback or some shit lioke that but less than you real gormet experience thats where I had my worst experience with a bar tender and hygeine. And there was an old lady that looked like Cruella Diville on crack singing in her old lady jelly voice and playin the piano drunk. Tghat was the best part. I still go there just for kicks I like to take people there if we feel like actin a fool in a "nice place" but now I know what to expect from THEM!

That place is one where I would love to go. I love places that are themed.

In fact, (sorry to get off the subject), I really miss this 50's style soda fountain joint called "Boogies". They used to be at the Mall of America, but shut down a few years ago. I really miss it.

I even went to the one in Chicago, I often wonder if it's still there. The one in Chicago had the fountain on the second floor, and all their merchandise on the first.

Ok, done. biggrin

I think it would be romantic for a guy 2 invite a girl over and try 2 cook his own meal. It doesn't have 2 be a holiday feast, but it can be somethng as simple as pasta or spegetti, in this way you two could spend more time with each other without any interruption such as the damn waitress bothering every minute asking if you want seconds. Plus you don't have 2 leave a tip aftewards and you can see what the guy or girls place looks like smile.
