People tend to think that I’m joking when
they ask me what my hobby is and I reply eating. You see the misconception
comes in that any food will do – It simply won’t. I enjoy eating good food – and
that doesn’t necessarily mean expensive food.
Going out for dinner is about the entire
experience, not just the food. It’s about how satisfied I feel when I leave the
restaurant. It is the encompassing factors that all combine (or divide) that
makes an evening great, average or dreadful.
I have been to many restaurants – insert shocked
smiley face – and through the years I have become more critical. The main
reason for this is because of the prices we pay when we dine out. If I order a
meal, I expect it to come out as specified.
Then we get to service. There is this
misconception that people have to pay a 10% tip regardless of what the service
was like. I strongly disagree. Service can make or break your evening – as I
have discovered on many occasions. People also think that they only have to pay
10%... If the service is superior surely it makes sense to pay more.
Another contributing factor is the ambience
in the restaurant – whether you are at a fine dining restaurant or any other
place, the general atmosphere does influence your experience. Things like
sound, lighting, temperature all affect how much you enjoy your meal and
overall dining experience.
I hope that I will be able to bring you
fair unbiased reviews that will help you, not only to determine whether or not
your want to go to a place, but also to help you learn how to perceive things
in a different way when dining out.
Please feel free to comment/correct or
compliment.
I look forward to sharing my next review
with you.
