Would you want your guests to rearrange your furniture? Neither does that restaurant!
In the culinary world, the customer is NOT always right. After all, there are other customers to take into account. Executive Chef Ron Eyester, owner of Rosebud Restaurant in Atlanta lets us in on what eats at him:
Moving the furniture around. The restaurant has gone to great lengths to keep traffic flowing for customers and staff. Leave it that way, or ask for help.
Your birthday. You don't get a serenade and a free pair of socks at Old Navy when you shop on your birthday, don't expect a big celebration or free desert.
If you're late for a flight, you miss it. If you're late for your reservation, consider that table departed.
If you have to negotiate through the hostess, you're not REALLY friends with the owner, so don't expect the VIP treatment.
When you do call for a reservation, skip the OTHER conversation. Have a time in mind, and be ready to take or leave the closest thing. Debating it with the person you'll be eating with while the restaurant waits for you to decide drives them nuts.
