Mood Scale: Felipe was running a tres leches cake up to LB2, for table 73. The pastry chefs had written “happy anniversary” on the plate in chocolate – a beautiful job. Timing-wise, however, first one guest was in the washroom, and then the other. Felipe found me, and had me stand by with the anniversary dessert (the brave sorbet held firm!) so that he could get back to his duties (well done Felipe!) If we had dropped the pastry without both guest at the table, it would have fallen flat, and through teamwork we ensured it was another high for their anniversary dinner.
