Wine and Walnuts

Le Catalan, Wilmington, NC

Because I am and have been a server off and on for a few years, when I get great service, it leaves an impression. (For example, I wrote about the great service my friends and I enjoyed at Circa 1922 back in January of this year from Bill. Bill was awesome.)

Recently some friends and I went to Le Catalan to celebrate my birthday.  Leanne waited on us, and Leanne was infinitely patient, always there when we needed her, and as an added bonus, very entertaining, fun, and bubbly.  I’m thinking she should be a professional entertainer of some kind, because she had that special something.

There were five of us, and not only did we want 5 separate checks, various people also wanted to split things up, and put things I was ordering on their checks, since it was my birthday.  It was a big ol’ mess, every server’s worst nightmare.  But Leanne was so very gracious.  Her response to all this was:  “No worries. It’s really no problem at all as long as I know about it first!”  And she meant it. She was as kind as she could be to all of us, no matter what requests we made.

What a trooper she was the whole evening. : )

So here’s to ya, Leanne!

(P.S. the chocolate mousse here r-o-c-k-s. You must try it.)
