It appears to me that this is degenerating and no helpful, civil, or substantive points are being made. I suggest that if any two FT'ers wish to snipe at one another they do so via PM, not on-thread.

Thank you.

There is a huge, and obvious, difference between excellent service and competent service. Anyone who has experienced excellent service knows this.

I agree.
But there is also no difference between excellent service at an Applebees and excellent service at a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Topic check and last call!

The topic of this thread is "Can you depend on a server's recommendation?"

It appears that there may be nothing else helpful and civil to say on the topic? Perhaps it's time to close? Does anyone have anything on the topic that hasn't already been said?

Off-topic posts will be deleted.

Thanks for your understanding,
