Not buying it. Waiters in high end steakhouses are very well compensated. You don’t get to that level without being very good and are tipped accordingly.
I’ve been fortunate to have eaten at a few high end steakhouses and the service was as memorable as the food.
If you’re ever in Des Moines, try the 801 Chophouse. They also have restaurants in Omaha, Leawood, KC and St Louis and soon in Denver.
