When Service is Good. When Service is Bad.

Today we had more fun celebrating my soon to be 29th birthday. After a lazy morning, the Husband, Colleen and I headed over to Downtown Disney for lunch at the new T Rex restaurant. While the food was okay, the service was excellent. Our server, Steven M. was fantastic. I felt like we recieved personalized attention, even though he was busy with a full restaurant. We got dino trivia and conversation that doesn’t normally come with a packed tourist trap eatery. Thanks Steven for making my pre-birthday lunch great!

That evening My Shelly(Michelle) teamed up with us for a dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe at City Walk by Universal Studios. Going to a HRC has been a birthday tradition since my 21st birthday. I think that tradition will officially be over with the last birthday in my 20′s.

I have been having issues with Hard Rock for a while. They have been moving more towarda casinos and taken my favorite dish off the menu twice in a decade(R.I.P Chicken Spinach Artichoke Dip). I have visited Hard Rocks around the world and the service gets worse and worse each time I go. Tonight it was rough, to say the least. I shouldn’t have to ask for a drink refill. But if one of us has to ask, you might want to see if any one else in the party needs a refill too. Not only were we asking, but we couldn’t even ask because when the server set a drink down, he would rush off without pausing a second. I yelled after the server, to no avail. That was one glimse into how the evening at Hard Rock Cafe went.

Tomorrow the Husband, My Shelly and I head to Disney. We plan to have dinner at Tokyo Dining in Epcot, so here is hoping we have a good experence.

I hope you have enjoyed another blog post from my iPhone. Here are a couple of pictures from my day(the can only be attached at the end of a post). Enjoy!
