Splitting meals review

[renecat]

In Sept. I ask here about splitting meals and many were kind enough to take time to give me some information on it. Well we did split a few counter services and also a few table service meals. The first was at Cat Coras. Our server was great about it. Then we did it at Citricos and our server was put out about it to say the least. We informed him we were going to do this ahead of time. When we ordered three entrees his comment was three entree's for 7 women. We also split appetizers. When we orderd desserts to split his comment was. I wouldn't expect any less from this table. Because there was 7 of us he was gauranteed 18% tip. Usually we tip at least 20% not in this case. Our check still came to well over 400.00 with drinks so it wasn't like he didn't get a good tip. It was around 80.00. We also did this at the Yatchmen steakhouse and had a great server that went out of his way for us. He got 25% when we tipped. We are going back in April and I have an ADR at the Yatchmens. I will be asking for Darrell to be our server. There is only three of us going my DH included so we may not be splitting as much. We are also on Deluxe dinning. So if you plan on splitting meals you may want to steer clear of Citricos. We love the food there but I doubt if we'll be going back there. We also alway had left over even though we split.

What a jerk! But don't let it put you off the restaurant...that was the actions of ONE individual. Just don't let him serve you again ;-) BTW - I would have asked to speak to the manager and/or requested another server.

I agree it probably was just the server don't let him ruin your dining experience.

Ha! We experienced the EXACT same response at Citricos a couple of years ago. Our server was very put out and really rude in my opinion when he found out we were splitting a meal. It was just my wife and I so I suppose he was thinking he wouldn't get a very big tip. (which he did not because of the sarcastic comments). We haven't been back to Citricos since and probably will not. They are much friendlier at Narcoossees!

I'm not surprised by the respons you got at Citricos. DH and I have eaten there a couple times, and both times we had very rude servers (we didn't split any meals). The last time was about 3-4 years ago, and we have not returned. Food was good, not fantastic, and the terrible service sent it straight to the bottom of our dining list.

Glad you had good experiences everywhere else, though!!

We are hoping to split meals on the deluxe dining plan at sci-fi and 50's prime time.... App entree and dessert are enough there lol
