John/Guennie: Don't restaurants, rightly or wrongly, also kinda look down upon 'early birds'? You know, stereotyping as poor tippers, fussy people, etc.???
I have noticed kinda snippy service if I go got the 'early bird' specials -- almost like they think you are there coz you are cheap...

Don't restaurants, rightly or wrongly, also kinda look down upon 'early birds'? It may seem like that, but generally, the heavy hitters, both in front of house and back of house, don't come in early. Those are the servers and cooks that have the most experience and are the best at their jobs. The rookies tend to work at slower times, ie.. early dinner, lunch, and brunch.
Rookie cooks almost always wind up working brunches because the pros are hung over and sleeping in after the crush on Saturday night.
Never order fish Mon-Wed. Most fish orders arrive on Thursday, and the "special" on Monday is the left over fish that the chef is trying to get rid of. There are exceptions, but that's a good rule to follow.
