As you may well realize, we frequently comment on places where we have enjoyed the cuisine and on the service, as well. Last night we again ate in a favorite, The Outback Restaurant, HW2 again enjoyed rack of lamb while I had the filet with the addition of lobster tail. It was excellent, but we especially enjoyed our waitress Stevie. She gave us excellent service without hovering or rushing. When we needed attention, she seemed to sense that she could be helpful. At the end we talked about her returning to college, and she intends to do exactly that. She was most personable without being intrusive, and we left having been encouraged to return in the future so that she might again be our waitress.
Tonight we decided to walk to a nearby restaurant, Jonny Carino's, which we have enjoyed visiting over the years. In some ways we have enjoyed this restaurant for Italian food as much as we have enjoyed The Outback for its cuisine. Our waiter was Phillip, and he had all the motions down but talked way too fast, and we felt hurried or rushed at the end. I actually mentioned to the manager that he was doing his job, but that we could not always make out what he was saying and that he needed to slow down his speech for us old folks to better understand. We did not want to get him into trouble, but the manager was sitting directly across from us and said that he would mention our suggestion to Phillip but certainly not get him into trouble because of our comment. Believe me, you would much rather be waited on by Stevie because of her personality. Phillip has a way to go to become a better waiter, but perhaps our suggestion may help him to improve. Happy travels.
