"Requesting a specific server sends the message that you value the level of service or experience provided. It is not rude to ask for your favorite waiter."
"Diners are highly likely to go back to a restaurant where they got good service, even if the food was average, and returning customers spend more."
"To ask for a specific waiter without being rude, make the request as soon as you walk into the restaurant, before being seated by the host."
Requesting a specific waiter at a restaurant is acceptable and appreciated by management, as it indicates a value for quality service. Etiquette expert Nikesha Tannehill Tyson advises making the request upon entering the restaurant, before being seated, to avoid inconvenience. Good service can lead to repeat customers, who tend to spend more than first-time diners. Leaving a generous tip is another way to show appreciation for a favored waiter.
