It looks clean and neat, the sort of place where the food being good is more important than having the latest in flashy styling. And I prefer staff who get on with service and cleaning etc instead of hanging around constantly checking and making small talk. After all, I am there to eat, not to interview for a foodie magazine.

They can be subjective. You can have a bad experience at a restaurant and then a week later have the best experience you ever had, same place, same waitress, etc. I tell this story often but years ago when we lived in Billings, Montana we were at the Applebee's there. Mind you at the time there weren't a lot of "fancy" restaurants so we frequented Outback and Applebee's quite a git. One Friday night we got a waitress that was efficient in what she did but had the attitude from hell we'll call it. You asked her for something and she would give you a look, but she would go ahead and do what you wanted. We ordered coffee with dessert and when the bill came, we always looked over it to make sure things were included on it, the coffee wasn't on the bill. We hesitated to call her over because of her attitude but we knew it was the right thing to do so we did it and hubby told her the coffees were left off the check. She thanked us for catching it. I told hubby to leave her a nice tip. Few weeks later we are back at the restaurant and lo and behold she is our waitress. I'm like "on no." When she came to our table I mentioned that she had taken care of us a few weeks back. She had the BIGGEST smile on her face and said "yes, you reminded me to charge you for the coffees." The BEST service ever gotten happened with that meal. So subjective. One week can be a nightmare, another week a blessing. Visit son and his lovely bride in a bit and revisit that restaurant; both of your opinions could change about it!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-49794865604677303652017-07-07T19:54:23.038-07:002017-07-07T19:54:23.038-07:00Sometimes I think my wife has very dull taste buds...Sometimes I think my wife has very dull taste buds.
