I'm starting to think this thing does already have a celebrity vibe, like RTBoss said.
Now *I* remember a tidbit I left out of my dinner report. About 15 minutes before I left, a bald gentlemen (maybe my age) in a striped polo sat down with a glass of Chardonnay (he'd already grabbed a drink at the bar). He was served by my waitress, and he began asking her these extravagant questions that led into one-sided conversation about his knowledge of all-things-sushi. At first, I found I was growing annoyed, and thought, "Man, this guy's an effin' tool." But then, I started feeling some compassion for the man, because I realized he was overdoing it to make up for something. He ordered a shit-ton of stuff, and the server sounded shocked. He said he had a bunch of friends showing up soon. IMO, he was intending to impress.
She stopped by my table, we interacted, and she left. Immediately after, the man tried to develop rapport with me by making a joke involving my son. I came back with a witty response (or so I thought), but he didn't laugh. At all. He just blinked. Next thing I know, he stands to speak to the waitress, and he leaves! She looked irritated, but just in a "WTF" kinda way. Dunno what happened there, but looking back, perhaps it was significant.
