That's the craziest dining experience I think I've read about!
I would have preferred Bradlee to my waitress at the Flying Fish on 1/2. She was brand-new and had no clue how to pronounce "Gewürztraminer". I don't enjoy sweet wines and I didn't want the suggested pairing for my dish which was the Gewürztraminer. She said: "What kind of wine do you like?" Gee ... I like a big chewy Zin, but that might stomp all over my Ahi. I ended up with a Sauvignon Blanc which worked well with the dates and the figs. She was very scatter-brained and didn't know the menu. She had to bring her mentor over for just about every single question. We were on the dining plan and we had the DDE card for our drinks. She automatically gave herself an 18% tip on the drinks. I caught my DH adding another tip without looking. I wonder how many people miss it when they tip themselves .
You wouldn't happen to remember her name? We will be there next week, and that's probably not enough time for her to learn how to pronounce Gewurztraminer!!! or to have figured out the menu. Thanks for the reminder to check the tipping. We'll also be using the DDE. I can't believe she added 18% tip on the drinks!!!
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good server at FF?
We always used our DDE card for drinks whenever we ate at a TS restaurant. Sometimes the 18% was added and sometimes it wasn't. There was no rhyme or reason.I think that the tip is added automatically if you have both DDP and DDE- it was when we had that last September. It was added each time we used DDP and DDE at the same time at many different restauarants as we were there 11 days.
