If you read my first post correctly you will see that I said "very fashionable for people in the cape to go out and order a drink and a accompanying glass of tap water"and let me elaborate by drink I mean all sorts of drinks (cold drinks, iced tea, tea, coffee, milkshakes and alcoholic beverages etc) I think most restaurants don't care whether the customer wants a glass of tap water but the issue surely becomes painful when the amount of tap water drank outweighs the number of drinks that a customer pays for. So in this regard a customer can but only be perceived as cheap, because there will be no tip left on something that costs nothing. And as much as the defenders of tap water drinkers want to defend tap water drinkers...we all know them..and we know why they drink tap water...they are the same people who recycle gifts...who are never around when it is their round...who divvy up the bill and pay with their credit card pocketing the balance of the tip. So come on stop debating an issue that revolves around someone just being cheap. As for myself I will continue to purchase beverages at restaurants and bars and If I get a little pissed then i will call a cab.

I think for a lot of people who drink tap water when they go out it is not because it is as good for the environment as it is on their bank balance.
As for the perceived notion that drinking glasses of tap water between alcoholic beverages in any way helps to reduce a persons intoxication is hogwash.
Unfortunately we all contribute to keep the economy running even the tap water drinkers because basic maths will allow you to work out that there is a cost involved in serving tap water.
The government does not provide it for free and the person who serves it to you does not work for free as the person who washes the glass.
And of course the glass lemon and ice is also not free.
I do not care if people drink tap water, only be honest for the true reasons that you are drinking it .....to save yourself money...

I have noticed that it is very fashionable for people in the cape to go out and order a drink and a accompanying glass of tap water. What is it with this trend. I think that it is an excuse not to have a second or third drink. Restaurants are a business and are there to make a profit. They also have staff that rely on wages from the restaurant. If you are a tap water drinker then obviously you can drink as much as you want at home....so surely if you go out to eat then you are treating yourself...so why??? would you want to drink tap water?? If you are a cheapo then keep that part of you in a closet.

I found the Caesar salad to be somewhat boring. The mushy burger was to mushy and did not have any bite like a burger should have. The creme brule was not set and liquid. Overall I was not very impressed. Another example of a chef wanting to be in too many places.

I ate the Caesar salad which is proclaimed to be a signature dish and it was ordinary. My main was a a venison burger. The patty was (slap & pap) mushy, it had a babotie flavor. The dessert was a creme brule that balanced equally well with the burger because it to was (slap & pap) mushy. Would i go back...maybe if they dimmedthe lights and changed the chef.
