Best thing to do is find one or two restaurants you like. Patronize them frequently. Tip good service well, and poor service poorly. Get to know the wait staff, the manager(s) and the chefs.

You'll soon achieve "regular" status and the best wait staff will be tripping over each other to get your table.

That's what I did when I was single. In my post-college bachelor days I had the disposable income to eat out regularly. And I did. I think I went four years without ever preparing a meal for myself. These days with little kids, we rarely eat out but I'm still a generous tipper. At least 25%. As far as bad service goes, I'm pretty generous with that too. The waitstaff would pretty much have to throw my food in my face and call my wife a whore to negate their tip.

Having friends and family work in the industry, I've always had a soft spot for people waiting tables and who remember two types of tippers; good ones and bad ones.
