Some of the servers try hard and some do not. It's a shame we can't enjoy the convenience of the cc's but until they show some respect for the customer with providing the best they can do, we have to spend our money elsewhere.

downtheshore - don't come back to the jersey shore if you are in search of a restaurant and its staff who give a darn about your wait time, meal and/or service. it's tourist season here and the beach birds have swarmed despite the storm damage that still persists - making it harder to find a restaurant - much less one without a crowd waiting. they know that if you don't come or if you wwalk out - there is someone to step right up and take your place[s]!

we are snowbirds who flock to dinner in the villages country clubs with anywhere from a party of 2 - 8 and i can count the number of times we have felt any one of them should have to step things up to meet our dining expectations. i daresay that some expectations just might be too high or even unreasonable. ours are just reasonable - after all, we're not dining in formal attire, at the palace in new york, morton's of chicago, etc - those days are over. we now enjoy casual and comfortable...and that need the villages country clubs fill easily for us.
