Delicious food, so so service

Delicious food, so so service

I turned up on my own (I work away a lot) and sat down at a table, then ordered food and drink at the bar, so far so good.

When food arrived I asked the waitress for another drink which immediately sent her into rabbit in headlights mode and she said I would need to order it at the bar.

So I countered with "so I need to go to the bar and order a 2nd drink whilst my dinner goes cold?
"Erm yeah" - great!

Still, food was quick to arrive and delicious when it got here.
On the plus side at least I scared her off enough to avoid the "is your food alright?" question which normally arrives when you have a mouthful of food.
