Walters food

2 weeks ago me and some friends tried to have a dinner at Walters Foods in Brooklyn, Williamsburg to be more precise. It did not happen because the place was filled up with inconsiderate gluttons who made their worst to have me go somewhere else to get my filling. Or just plain people out eat at a quite appreciated restaurant.
We ended up in the Tearoom that I mentioned here. Yesterday we tried again for Walters and this time there was a table for us.
We had Steak, Lobster and some pasta as well as a banana chocolate bread pudding. It was all good, although the pasta was probably the least interesting thing. Thus far it was the best restaurant I have visited in NY. I am sure that I will come back to Walters. Only one thing to complain about and that was the manager swooping around the tables asking how everything was. The problem with this was not that he did it but rather how. The question felt constructed to be answered with a yes rather than anything else and the way he asked without actually stopping to hear the answer made me feel like he actually was afraid to hear it. Luckily he had no reason for that. But I would not mind having a short discussion with someone from the restaurant about their food, but I don't think you should ask questions if you don't want to hear the answer. So next time manager: take your time! You have all the reason to!
A few observations is in place: Being a foreigner I was surprised when persons from the staff took a drink in the bar after their shift, but still in their working clothes as well as the bartender drank a quick shoot with one of the guests. I do not think it is negative I'm just no used to seeing that happen.
And again the discussion on how a steak is cooked: it is interesting that all the chefs of the world have one opinion and the rest of us including the people who writes cookbooks have a slightly different view. On the one hand I feel that the chefs are the experts, but in the other more democratic view on how language works it is the larger population who owns the interpretational rights to the words. So who is right? We will probably never get to the bottom with this.
