Birthday dinner with friends. Food was good, once we flagged down someone for a drink service improved. Someone in our party asked for a lemon and lime in her drink - once arrived had to ask again. I asked if they could add a jalapeño to my margarita - was surprised to see on bill they added $1 for that! They graciously added churros for the birthday gals free of charge.
