Of course we rarely do fine dining (I prefer to cook), so this situation is at our local Chinese or Mexican hole in the wall.

The reference tool I get. But, outside of rare circumstances like you're waiting for the dealer to call and let you know if you can pick up your car today or not kind of thing, do you take calls? (If the landline at home rings in the middle of a meal, we don't take those calls either.)

Get rid of the landline and you'll have more money for good Champagne, Sherry and fresh fish.

We dined in the Windows restaurant which served a fabulous buffet with the best lamb chops I've ever enjoyed. My 18yo niece, my God child, home from college and my 16yo nephew were "phone zombies" thru the entire meal and after meal visit with the family. I only get to see my sister's family half a dozen times a year and I was rather pissed at my niece and nephew, but kept it to myself less ruin the day for my mother. I will talk in private to my sister about this.
