biting remarks! or not.

did not have any particular cusine in mind, but decided to give arubiya japanese charcoal grill a go because the waiter at the entrance impressed me with his vast product knowledge and was quick to point out other alternatives when we voiced out something that we did not really fancy.
and it was great! I had the lamb and fried rice ( generous portion it was too ), we also ordered pork and foie gras although the latter isnt really my thing. simpleton i am, not appreciative of the finer dinings in life. :)
anyway, that isnt the reason for my reason to blog about my eating experience this evening.
after dinner, it was raining cats and dogs and elephants and giraffes, so basically yl and i were stuck. but before any annoyance could set in, the manager of the restaurant offered us her waiter plus umbrellas to take us to our car! that absolutely deserved thumbs up, because it was non obligatory. going that extra mile definitely brings the smiles! and what i noticed too was the manager thanking the waiter too. you know it's nice to have a boss who appreciates the actions of her employee.
on first glance, they didnt look as though their service or food was superior to any other restaurant, so i'm glad they and us took the extra step for mutual benefit.
