If you want to feel judged for failing to order bottled water and a bottle of wine with your meal, even though you're paying well over $100 on appetizers, cocktails, and your meal - jump right in. The woman serving us (short haircut, but not the cute funky one) left us hanging for over 25 minutes with the dessert menus (I actually timed it!) and was aloof and patronizing the entire time. I know I'm young, I know I may not dress like I have money, but I make six-figures at 25 and I expect the relationship between server and diner to be one of mutual respect, not one of ""you don't belong here, let me pay attention to the table that can actually afford to tip me."" I can go to New York if I want that attitude.
