Restaurant Goers!

[Bikini Mod]

FOR EVERYONE


The food quality is top notch - the decor is currently dated (80's mica) and worn looking. The host-owner treats each and every customer like her grandchildren - so your meal is served with every desire met, you will have some of your requests filled before you ask (the regulars) and you may need help walking you and your stomach out the door.

Well that being the case, honestly I would be happy to sit on a wooden crate with a large wooden spool (the kind that holds coils of wire) with cutup brown paper bag over the top!

I don't see how anything in the "design" end could HURT a restaurant such as you described.

A. 4. if the food isnt top notch, why should i spend my money there?

B. 3.5. i hate when i go to a restaurant and have to oder what i think would be the least nauseating.

C. 1. i dont care. as long as it is piled high, i'm good to go.

D. 4. i refuse to go to any place that is frequented by screaming bratty kids. the wait staff should be allowed to take them out back and execute the whole family in the parking lot for disturbing other peoples' meals.

E. 2. all they need to do is take my order when i'm ready, keep an eye on my drink to make sure it is getting too low, and give me the bill when i ask. i hate when they stop by every 5 minutes and try to suck your cock and ask you over anad over agin how your food is.

F. 1. as long as they look presentable, and i dont find any hair/spit/urine/semen in my food, im good to go.

G. 3. HATE tables. i sit in booths only. i dont give a fuck if im eating with just one other person and all that that is left is a booth for 8 people.

H. 3. as long as the seats are cushioned, i'm good to go.

I. 4. QUANTITY! i hate when i order something, and the meal is small as shit. some steak houses will charge you 12 bucks for chicken strips, and all you get is 4 measly strips and some fries. fuck that. if they pull that shit, i will never come back again.

I rarely go out to eat - we're talking two or three times a year tops - so when I do, I expect to have an experience better than if I'd stayed in and cooked the same meal for myself and guests. What makes a restaurant experience worthy? Awesome food, and an inviting environment to enjoy it in.

Portions should be ample (no teeny entrees that cost $25), dishes based on taste and not what the flavor de rigeur is (like goat cheese on everything for the sake of goat cheese), quality consistent with the same dish (ever ordered your favorite menu item, and then found out they changed the recipe for the worse?), the space should be lit flatteringly (I like soft sepia light), the wait staff should keep my needs met without hovering or fawning (doing so will ensure at least a 25% gratuity), and the noise level should be minimal (no shouting just to be heard over the din of music, other diners, or their kids). Put it all together and you've got a customer for life in me.

Additionally, this is a thread on another board that I post on about restaurant pet peeves - lots of good insights: http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=36685

25% tip??? Have you lost your mind woman? They'll be lucky if they get 15% unless the waitress is hot and gives me a blow job to go along with my meal!
