2----
3!!Tropes:
4* ArcWords: "Are you happy?"
5* ArmorPiercingQuestion:
6** Niles asks Frasier one: "Are you happy?", which Frasier is unsure how to answer.
7** Frasier gives Niles one of his own; "Are you in love with Daphne?"
8* BottleEpisode: The entire episode takes place at Cafe Nervosa.
9* ForgottenBirthday: What puts Martin in a foul mood; Frasier and Niles forgetting his the week before. He didn't explain earlier because he had trouble understanding why it bothered him, [[HypocrisyNod as all three of them apparently make a habit of missing birthdays.]]
10* GoldDigger: Frasier asks if Niles married Maris for her money. He denies this - and then adds that it was just a “delightful bonus”.
11* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Frasier sarcastically quips about Niles being a closeted gay man, then Niles [[AsideGlance glances at the camera]], alluding to David Hyde Pierce being openly gay in real life.
12* ObfuscatingDisability: Martin pretends to be blind in order for Eddie to be allowed inside the cafe.
13* RealTime: The first of two episodes the series did in real time (the second being Season 6’s “Dinner Party”). The advert breaks coincide with Niles, and later Frasier, visiting the restroom.
14* RunningGag: Frasier keeps nitpicking his coffee when presented to him, which expands to TheTag.
15* ShoutOut: The plot and title are parodies of the movie ''Film/MyDinnerWithAndre''
16* SpitTake: Niles spits out his coffee when Frasier asks him about his feelings for Daphne.
