While Phoebe Damrosch was figuring out what to do with her life, she supported herself by working as a waiter, eventually joining the staff of Thomas Keller’s New York restaurant Per Se. Her memoir Service Included reveals how all that four-star food actually makes it onto the table, and offers diners advice on how to mind their restaurant manners.

I will never look at a server the same way again. I loved this book - it made me hungry! Ms. Damrosch is clearly a class act; it would have too EASY to write a greasy gossip-fest. Brava!
i hate the front of the house.
i don't understand what the point of this book is. she is completely boring. so far, she has added nothing to my knowledge of food or restaurants in new york city. she wrote a book about being a waiter.
who cares?
All coffee is de-caf
