Maybe I should have had the Parmesan Encrusted Silician Quesdillas

One of the benefits of the urban life is the opportunity to go to really nice restaurants. I went last night with the man, to a place that shall remain nameless but is well known in Boston. Here's the summary:
Drinks: 10.
Apps: Clams Casino: 10
Entree: Steaks: 5 good steak, salt shaker must have fallen into pan in kitchen
Service: 2, but who's fault it is is unsure

The salads came with the apps. The entrees came when I was still eating salad. The entrees came out of the kitchen 10 min. previous to that and had been sitting at the wait station during that time and so were lukewarm. Wine glass cleared before empty.

This, in the scheme of things, is not a bad problem to have. I realize that. But if you're paying hard earn scratch (and a good amount of it) for dinner, is it too much to ask to have service considerably better than your local TGIFridays? Who, I would guess, sends those fried green beans out before the Alfredo-crusted-cajun-blue cheese steak tip with crab entree.

Any thoughts?

(want to know which restaurant?)
