Restaurant servers are bound to meet all sorts of interesting folks. This has certainly been the experience of the server in this story. After a decade in this industry, they were happy to share the most heartwarming experience they’ve ever had at work. It took place where they currently work, which is at an upscale restaurant. During their shift, a hostess let them know they’d be double seating them.
Turns out, two parents wanted to be sat near their kids who were on a date — this request was made so the “parents wouldn’t embarrass them.” For many reasons, the server assumed the kiddos would be teens but they were quickly, and delightfully, surprised to be wrong.
When the server complimented the parents on how cute and mature their little ones are, they shared more details on the adorable couple. Turns out, the two of them have lived on the same street their entire lives and have always had a crush on each other.
Fittingly, this adorable match both ate chicken tenders and fries for dinner. They also shared a crème brûlée. Then, to top it all off, they toasted with glasses of zero-proof champagne (sparkling grape juice) with little strawberries on the rims.
The server wasn’t the only one whose night was made by this adorable date. At the table next to them was a couple in their 50s. They had already finished their meals when the kids got their mussels but, soon after, they asked the server if they could return to their table.
They enjoyed listening to the kids so much that they wanted to stay — and so they did, with another round of appetizers, dessert, and coffees.
“And it just made my night,” the server wrote.
If these kiddos end up getting married, what a special memory this will be for them and their families!
