The first stanza is powerful and resonates with anyone who has eked out an awkward conversation
I am not sure we should care about the couple on the next table. Doesn't that distract from the failed date? More interested that she plays with her phone....what else does she do? Scan the room? Avoid eye contact perhaps?
I am not sure I believe she asked from steak. When you get to the last stanza I felt that this was perhaps a convenient device so she could cut you.
All told it is a powerful encapsulation of a regrettably experience that most have happened upon at some point in their life(!)...
Best wishes Rob
