Appointing, and dis.
Is "appointing" the opposite of "disappointing"? I don't think so. Tonight was a study in disappointment and its opposite.
Disappointing: the restaurant where Ben's band performed and I had dinner. It took 20 minutes to take my order. The prices on the menu were $2 to $3 more per dish than the prices on the web site. There were no vegetarian meals, despite claims to the contrary on the web site. One of the wait staff spilled beer all over Ben's jacket. And I waited an hour for my water glass to be refilled, but it never was. Sue and John ordered one drink and were brought another. John's toast was burnt.
"Appointing": Ben's entire band was top notch, and Ben was double top-notch. After dinner coffee and beer at another bar were nice, as was the band. Conversation sparkled. The hummus was fresh and abundant.
