I like having a drink or two before apps and at least one before the entree.


I like cocktail at the bar, cocktail w/ app, cocktail, wine x2 w/ entree, champagne or coffee with dessert.

My biggest problem with Cochon is that they prefer you to order all your food at one time. Sure enough, entrees will come rolling out right on top of my apps. Last time I even told them I'm not in a hurry and that I do not want my entrees coming out before I'm done w/ my apps, and of course, here they come before I'm done w/ my apps. Makes me


You would think a place of that caliber would have it figured out

Food timing is really the most important thing for a server. Sounds like it might be out of their control though.

This essentially happens 100% of the time at Japanese restaurants unless you intentionally space out the ordering yourself.


I learned this the hard way when six plates of various dishes arrived at my table one after another. Got a bit overwhelming.

I learned from that mistake and now order one dish at a time in sushi restaurants

One thing I like about this thread is that I've learned a lot of new things to be annoyed about.

Was in BR last night. Hit up ole chimes east, miss that place. Bartenders are always on their cell phones and it pisses me off. They are very prompt w/ me b/c Ive been going there for years, but I hate when customers have to literally wave to get their attention.

I love Chimes, but the bartenders there are some of the biggest wankers I've ever seen (including the women).

Tell the manager. He might just be overlooking it and not realizing it. If they know the customers are viewing this as a problem, they'll fix it.

Nobody said they had to annoy you. I have pet peeves that I at, but they don't annoy me....well at least not to the point of agitation.

I hate when servers won't offer me another drink after my meal and try and drop the check. I fricked with him by ordering another bottle of wine when he dropped the check. I hate being rushed

I hate when they don't know to bring me a bowl of lemon slices and extra sugar when I order water.

Yeah, and no ketchup or crackers with my hot water is annoying, as well.
