I have few peeves, but strongly held ones:

1) Service charge included, but ask for an extra tip;
2) no printed menu just a long litany of pseudo-sophistication;
3) My name is...
4) any wine list that does not have wines of the country I am in (except those that do not produce the drinkable stuff. Especially Italian and French places outside Italy and france with only Italian or French wines. Thus my antipathy for the Fasano Group in Brazil. How pretentious not to have wines of the country and region.
