The opposite of a dumb waiter

Aroma Restaruant's Tilapia Entree

I had the wonderful chance to share dinner with my in-laws over the weekend at a lovely restaurant called Aroma in London, Ont. The food was delicious, as was the wine, but I don’t think I’ve ever been so impressed with a waiter in all my days. Some are knowledgeable, happy to share their wine recommendation, others know the history of the establishment, still others can share banter on the latest news, be it the former U.S. president or the current Stanley Cup finals. It is rare in my experience though, to find one who could speak on all those topics, remember to refill the bread basket, and get all the orders right to boot. Maybe he just enjoyed his job, I don’t know, but all it takes is one thing to really elevate an experience from ordinary to extraordinary.
