Appetizer, yes. Dessert, no. I don't like sweets.

I order dessert, but, when the time comes to do so, I have my personal assistant summon a wretchedly ragged and poor street urchin to my table. I then sit and the lad or lass down at my table and watch them enjoy the dessert I ordered.

It warms my heart to help the little people in this manner.

Typically order an app. I've literally ordered 2 desserts in my life. Fried ice cream at a Mexican place bc I had never heard of it at the time, and cheesecake at Mansurs once.

It isn't unusual to order an appetizer. It depends with whom I am eating, where I am eating, and how hungry I am. If the person or people with whom I am eating don't want to share one for whatever reason, then I'm not going to eat a whole appetizer by myself. At some restaurants, the appetizers look particularly delicious, and I want to try some.

I close to never order dessert. I'm usually full by that point. It isn't important for me to save room for it.

If that's your position then save even more money. Don't eat out.

Better question, who actually says yes when the server asks if anyone would like any coffee?

I waited tables for years during school and I can only recall maybe two people that ever actually wanted coffee after dinner

If someone else is having coffee I might have a coffee.

As for dessert, if you're taking a girl to a nice restaurant with the intention of after dinner sex, get dessert to go. Specifically chocolate.

Depends on the restaurant. If it's a fancy restaurant that has legitimately good gourmet coffee, I'll definitely get some.

When I go out to eat it's usually an expensive restaurant so yeah, both appetizers and dessert.


So... Are you saying you have a lot of money or are you saying you don't go out to eat very often, so when you do go out to eat you go somewhere really nice and don't hold back?

Always an appetizer or salad. Look at dessert menu, and if I see something special, I get it and split with the wiff. For instance the Milk and Honey at Shaya.
