Out in intardnets reviewland, it's apparently de rigeur to bash chefs and waitpeople like crazy. For the record, L. and I have never been treated with anything other than great courtesy and attention at the establishments listed above, even when it was obvious that our table's check was going to be far from the largest in the room. A special thanks to the front-of-house staff at Bistro LQ and Eleven Madison Park for their genuine interest in the wide-eyed Canadian gastrotourists in the corner, and for all the unsolicited advice and extra courses.
