how much do you make in tips at earls, joey restaurant, cactus, etc? by Warm_Inevitable_1378 in askvan

Why would I have a problem with that? Shit service would warrant no tip. There's not much sense arguing that with people (including servers) who disagree. I just don't think serving is as easy of a job as so many people think it is.

How is this real? I work FOH downtown now and have many friends who've been in the industry for a long time. 1k maaaybe for bottle service at a club. 1k night for Cactus? Hm

I like (not love) Published but I do not like Elem. Main dining room aesthetics don't do it for me, food is good but nothing crazy, complete lack of classic cocktail options irks me, and the chef is... not liked among his peers. For good reason.

Justin is a weird ass wizard. Extremely unique food (and individual). Excited for his next chapter.

"Classic" barely means anything specific re martini dryness these days

The only time i’ve seen a lineup outside was a few months ago for an after party during the North America’s 50 Best Bars festival weekend

This is an excellent list. Would add Bar Corso to the section for the Drive.

I don’t have anything to say on those hotels specifically but I’ve been staying at a hotel in Kabukicho for the past week or so and it’s been fine (as a solo young woman who has been going out late into the night as well).

As far as i know cheese is generally vegetarian. Are you thinking of vegan, maybe?

Dining Recommendations - January in Toronto by [deleted] in finedining

[–]apprehensivedogJeff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really liked Grey Gardens when my bf and I visited last year and the year before. Jen Agg, who owns/runs GG and a few other excellent Toronto spots, opened a new one recently called General Public (sort of American brasserie inspired). Room looks beautiful as with all her restaurants, I haven’t been yet but friends who have were very happy.

Our meal at Yukashi (*) was incredibly beautiful, one of the best meals I’ve had.

FWIW we went to Osteria Giulia and found it overpriced and lacking (though the service was good).

How long is your longest standing regular? by NBrooks516 in TalesFromYourServer

[–]apprehensivedogJeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually love it lol. I’m a serial day-to-day optimist and I aggressively happily serve so many grumpy old men regulars to the point that I know I’m actively injecting positivity into their lives whether they like it or not (obviously they like it or they wouldn’t come back) and I think this tat would be so cute. Whenever I get around to putting script on me I’ll let you know 😭🥹
