...A decade ago, I was in SF on personal business, which was very draining. I spent all day with LAWYERS! We finished our business at around 4:00 pm, and I walked back to my hotel. I laid on the bed for a while, and then decided to get something to eat...
...there are so many places to get good food in SF. I walked down to the wharf, and entered 'Aliotos #8. It was early, and so I got a table looking over the fishing fleet. I studied the menu, but my mind was still addled. The late middle aged waiter asked me if I had made up my mind. I just handed the menu to Him, and said..."You decide." I laid out some cash from my wallet, and said..."Take what you feel is fair for a tip. I have no food allergies, and I really like seafood." He smiled, and left, leaving the money alone. I put it away, and waited. I was not disappointed...
First course was lobster bisque, followed by a seafood sausage...it was stuffed with crab, shrimp and fish. The main course was sole stuffed with crab, and dessert was a small cheese plate with walnuts and fruit. Of course, there was a different glass of wine with each course...
He brought me a small coffee laced with brandy at the end. I handed Him all of the cash I had shown Him...I was not presented with a bill. I was very relaxed when I got back to the Hotel, and slept well.
