Words of advice for large chain restaurants:\n\n1.  Refrain from telling a large party that ordering food and drinks at the same time 'will slow down the kitchen'\n\n2.  Try to hire servers who can tell position one from position six - being able to count is a bonus\n\n3.  Corollary to #1 - Telling us 'most of it will come out cold anyway' is not the way to increase your tip\n\nStars received are for the nice hostess who seated us and the very delicious (and large) salad I ate.  Our waiter receives no stars.
