Great post, I will have to use that wine tip, I always chose the 2nd most expensive, I haven’t tried the cheapest much.

Tip 25%….just so that you can get a table when you need it – you must be joking! I’d rather visit a restaurant that wasn’t so pretentious!

In referencing Rudi’s comments, that it is a shame people always need a plan. Why is that a bad thing? To make my life easier, a little planning seems to go a long way. Most of the tips Tim gave seem to be based on the same idea, treat people how you would like to be treated. Especially staff at restaurants, cause most people treat them like ‘the help’.
Also, looking at Christine’s comment on why we should care about dining in a fancy restaurant in these tough economic times. Doesn’t have to be a fancy restaurant. And, what about those who do business over food and drink? Spending a bit more, having a strategic plan, and being ‘in’ with the staff will help your social capital in front of an important client.
These tips are very useful, and could make the difference between looking good in front of an important client or looking like an ass. And, who likes to do business with an ass?
