Experiences
14 January 2007
I walked up to the host and requested a seat for lunch, and was given a reservation at 1pm by Paul.
At 1pm I arrived back at the restaurant and informed Paul that I was there for my reservation. He then proceeded to get a host (Brent), who called me soon thereafter to seat me. As he seated me, he informed me that my waiter would be Crispin. According to Crispin's nametag, he is from Bolivia.
