I vented recently about bad terrible, but today I've got to give a shout-out to Jordan, our waiter the other night at Dome Restaurant & Bar in Hockessin.
I want Jordan to be my waiter every time I go to Dome. Is that too much to ask?
It's not that I've had terrible service at Dome on other visits - no, not all. It's just that Jordan was so professional and so good, he made the whole dining experience that much more enjoyable. He wasn't pushy, he made very good suggestions when we asked - his description of the salmon in red wine special that night sold me on the dish. And it lived up to the hype.
Jordan didn't hover, he wasn't obtrusive, but he did refill water and coffee when we needed it and was just an all-around nice guy. Kudos to Jordan.
Other observations - and things I plan to make a few calls about:
- Looks like a new coffeehouse is opening in The Devon on Pennsylvania Avenue in Wilmington. I drove by it this morning and noticed a sign for "Rockford Perk" coming soon.
- Pomodoro's is a new Italian restaurant on Union Street in Wilmington's Little Italy. It's housed where the old Cantina Restaurant used to be. (Am I showing my age by using a Cantina reference?)
- Washington Street Ale House on Washington Street ripped out its old deck and is building a new one. Hope it's ready in time for City Restaurant Week
- My buddy Ryan Cormier already covered this on his Pulp Culture blog - but I too saw the sign for Five Guys Burgers coming soon to the Fairfax Shopping Center. It's going in where the late great Imperial Deli used to be.
- My editor Kim gave me the heads up about Blackstones, a new pub in the Shoppes at Louviers off Paper Mill Road across from Bank of America.
Stay tuned. Oh yeah - one more FYI - if you have dining questions, send 'em in today! And I'll post answers later in the day.
