No story here yet…need to interrogate the wait staff about Sunday 2 for 1 dinners.
My wife and I stopped there for dinner on Sunday night having never been before.
The twofer menu had a disclaimer that took up half the page. I could only sit and smile thinking there must be many many many wonderful stories behind something that looks like a car rental agreement.

BTW - Excellent Meal
An older couple came into the restaurant looking for a table. The hostess, who is ~ 16, proceeds to tell them it will be 15 minutes until the table is ready.
Two minutes later, the man comes back and asks again for the table. The hostess again says 15 minutes.
At this point he pokes her in the forehead and tells her, “I don’t need to be told that by a 12 year old.”
Good thing I wasn’t there, he would have been arrested.
Editor: Another great story gathered during my travels.
A group of customers came into an East Hampton restaurant which allows BYOW (bring your own wine). The patrons brought in two of their own bottles. The server explained that there is a corkage fee.
$28 per bottle.
They consumed their meal and the two bottles of their OWN wine.
Comes check time, they tell the server they don’t want to pay for two corkage fees.
Why?
They didn’t enjoy one of the bottles.
Gotta love it.
Sitting in a popular East Hampton restaurant last night my wife and I got to watch and listen to two obnoxious young men and a young UNDERAGE woman hassle the wait staff and manager about a fake ID.
The young women produced an ID and couldn’t answer a single question about her supposedly valid drivers license. She looked like she was 12. At this point the staff did the right thing and told her she wasn’t going to be served.
I guess the girl was so embarrassed that she left the restaurant, but the men started to hassle the staff even more.
“Do you know who we are?” they asked.
“We came from Westhampton.”
The staff made no reply and kept their composures.
Finally the rude duo left to go to another bar where they thought the would be served.
Did these idiots really think a crowded, popular E.H. restaurant would risk being fined for serving alcohol to them? Besides I can guarantee the rest of the clientèle was relieved to not have to rub shoulders with children on their Saturday night.

I was in the Candy Kitchen politely waiting for a booth or counter spot. Needless to say an older woman jumped the line and ordered a cup of coffee.
While I was still in shock over the blatant disregard for the social order of the eatery, she pulled a muffin out of her pocket and asked if they could toast it for her.
- Stunned and still waiting in line
I’m standing in Golden Pear trying to buy a cup of coffee. There were two twenty-something men standing at the coffee urns.
They’re standing there for 5 minutes and nobody else can get to the coffee. It’s self serve.
They start hassling the lady behind the counter about not being waited on.
The counter lady promptly pointed to the urns.
They grumbled and got their coffee. No apologies for yelling at the lady for their own idiocy.

This is not a rude posting, more a odd posting.
Maybe a new trend is starting, but Friday night at Cittanuova we saw a lady walk up with a large parrot on her shoulder.
Are parrots the new pocket book dogs?
Should we expect Paris Hilton to have her own parrot soon.
Stay tuned, we’ll keep an eye on this minor trend.
Maybe it’ll go the pirate route.
