Dining Out - October 2006

Just been out for an anniversary meal. Food great, service going well until dessert. From when we finished main course, it was 25 mins until order for dessert taken, and another 25 minutes until it arrived - ie 50 mins total between courses. Complained to management but they said they deliberately 'slowed things down' after the main course (although apparently not at other tables...). Was this service unreasonable...?

It's really cheap their prices are always below $6.00

And their super value menu is extremely cheap to what they give, why is it so cheap? Starbucks Coffee Shops are more expensive than Taco Bell's stores, and they sell coffee! It's not suppose to be in the other way?

preferably one that is made in a deep and long (rectangular shape) casserole dish, the white ovenproof baking dishes, and a recipe that makes this dish with a pie crust at the top, showing the shape of a fish, like this: http://www.historicfood.com/Design/Assets/Images/Thumbnails/fish-piethmb.jpg

I'm not sure if its a pot pie or a casserole, or a mix of both. Please help, thanks. And if you have a photo of it, please post the link here.

In a restaurant? Fast food?

I go to fast food places or order pizza about once every 1-2 weeks, and go to a restaurant about once every 2-3 months, unless I'm on a road trip with my family, then I eat out for every meal.

We have done Chelsea Piers, Spirit Cruise, ESPN Zone in the past. I tried getting tickets for the Late Show with David Letterman but they couldn't accommodate such a large group.

General and detailed replies appreciated.

Possible considerations of:
- What is ‘reasonable’.
- Local customs and habits.
- Income and living standards such as eating out as infrequent or common place at all meal times.
- Work patterns that affect meal times of breakfast, lunch and dinner.
- Takeaways or office order-ins and the trend of discounted or subsidised office foods.
- Frequency of meals in winter as opposed to summer.
- Cost of food the decisive factor or convenience and practicality based on work.
- Time as a luxury, age group preferences (say 20 to 30, 30 to 40’s, to 50s, all ages above).

Preferably dishes ‘local’ to Chicago for lunch and dinner.
Will also look into places that do haute cuisine without comparable prices.
What kind of ballpark prices and foods should one expect?
How far ahead should one make reservations or are some of these restaurants by invitation or association only ? Is ordering in advance recommended ?
