I know what a violation it would be to mention the name of this restaurant, but frankly, as an "older gay gentleman" myself, I'd like very much NOT to waste my time and money in a place that is likely going to treat me rudely.

Then what was the point of the thread in the first place? Because you think or hope this server will read this forum and this thread?
If you want to call out bigotry thats great. But then call it out in the open and let everyone know whats what. Otherwise your publicly posting a private comment, and should simply slip the bigot your comment on a cocktail napkin next time.

No- my action was very smart, almost surgical. I'm not trying to get everybody in a roar over this. You can criticize all you want about the way I handled this affair, but I am right (and I just tip-toed on the end of a string to make it so.) Every Restaurateur in the city is giving me a high-five right now.
At the end of the day- 'you will fall in love with each of your guests. You will treat them like family.' Do we have a problem? Come talk to me...

To do something in a surgical manner means to do it precisely. What you have done is posted in a web forum that you went to a restaurant that you won't name, had a server that you won't identify, and that this server did or said something that you won't discuss. I would argue that this is far from surgical. Rather, I would say that this is bordering on passive-aggressive. If you wanted to handle this in a smart, surgical manner, I believe the proper action would have been to speak directly to the manager, and to tell him/her what happened and what you believe should be done about it.
