New one for me--a manager inquiring as to how our food was immediately after the server finished setting the plates on our table. How are we supposed to know how our food tastes, when we haven't had time to take a bite?

I'd love that!

"I'll tell you after it gets here!" or "I don't know, we just ordered!"

Mr. Kipper's comment after she left was, "I wouldn't know. I haven't had a chance to eat anything yet."

We just said that it looked good. And, I pointed out to our server that he might want to suggest she wait until patrons have had a chance to taste their food before inquiring. :)

naan bread is best enjoyed whilst sipping some chai tea at the la brea tar pits, but it can get crowded so please rsvp.

Can you see the Sierra Nevada Mountains from there?

I always drive Table Mesa Road to get there (a real road located north of Phoenix) :D

I have a chuckle everytime I see "baby lamb" on a menu...

Beyond redundancy, I find most menu adjectives annoying. I would prefer they stick to facts.

I'mo not opposed to adjectives but find the morphing of adjectives annoying, eg how everything is now Panko encrusted, despite the breading on a number of the items I've ordered being exactly like the old breading and not particularly panko-ish at all.

They're annoying because most run the gamut from exaggeration to outright lies. And don't get me started on adverbs! :D

:D Oh, the horror!!! :D

"served with au jus sauce"
'nuff said.

Oh, that's one of my all time favorites! Who writes this stuff??

Eek, someone who clearly needs a lesson in marketing. I love lamb and will eat it in a heartbeat. But if you call it "baby lamb"... I visualize soft brown eyes and a fuzzy little baby, and... no thanks, I'm no monster! A bit hypocritical maybe, but as I said, it's all about marketing.

I'm the same way with dolphin. I want real dolphin, dammit! Porpoise! Not some flat, name-stealing fish...
