Dining Out - January 2007

I'm looking for more of a really good "hole in the wall" type place. I know about Crustaceans, The Water Grill, etc. What are some good lesser known places?

We will have been drinking by the pool all day, so we're not looking to go to a sophisticated place where we will offend people. We'd like to be able to be loud. Medium to high price range with great food, any type. Somewhere near the strip. Thanks for your suggestions

I’d like to go out to a restaurant for dinner but am running a little low on cash. I’ve always heard a restaurant will provide a meal as long as you compensate by washing dishes for an agreed period of time.

I’m thinking of going somewhere like a Chili’s for the $9.99 trio special. I think 1.5 hours of washing dishes afterward will be fair.

Do I tell the waiter or waitress about this before or after the meal?

I don't want people's opinions on their ribs, just want to know when it is opening! It is rare we get American chain restaurants here in Scotland and it is nice to have a taste of home! I saw the signage and space for Tony Roma's at Braehead XScape, but it's not listed on the Xscape website or Tony Roma's....

I dont' understand why food companies can't replace trans fats with regular fats or no fats at all. The labels read trans fat free, but they are replacing them with a new fat called interesterified fats. The interesterified oils may not only lower HDL cholesterol levels but also cause a significant rise in blood sugar. So they are replacing a bad fat with a worse fat.

I explain me: I have an appointment with a person who works with me. I'm not used to eat in a Mc Donald, and this person told me "Hey! Let's eat in a Mc Donald tomorrow for lunch!" I've never eat there! I always eat in chic french restaurants. But I cannot refuse the appointment. How can I eat an hamburger without becoming a pig? Thank you.

I have noticed in most restaurants water (still and sparkling) is served in glass and not plastic bottles. Just wondering why is that? Any economic or environmental issues invloved?

NYC: The village. It's a very tiny, quaint but elegant restaurant located right off of 7th Ave in the village. Right across from Caliente's. Can't remember the name but do remember the great food & talented jazz singers. It's a tiny place that's a bit hidden.
Anyone out there know the name?

I waited tables for 25 years and I have alot!
Some of mine are:
1. Kids running around while you're trying to serve hot coffee and food.
2. People on cell phones. I was taking an order at a table and just as I got to the man to take his order his cell phone rings and he tells me to wait. So here I'm standing there for about 2 minutes and I tell the woman that i'll come back and as I turn to walk away he grabs my arm and says "I told you to wait". I walked away and came back...later.
3. People who order something and insist that that wasn't what they ordered even though the other people at the table tell them that it is what they ordered.
4. People who want their order taken the second that they sit down because they're in a hurry and then sit for an hour. Or the ones who want their order taken as soon as they sit and then don't know what they want.
5. People who expect everything free and want to substitute everything...Gee can we substitute a steak for the bacon?
Your turn...

don't they get any qualified training? the gloves they wear are to protect their customers, NOT to keep their hands clean!!!! I have watched them wipe benches down with gloved hands, then put these same gloved hands into all to food to make the rolls, not only introducing bacteria from the benches, but also cross contaminating the food, by handling it all with the same gloves......
This is in Australia, I'm not familiar with the practice in other countries

hi,
I recently come accross the new website www.123-yum.co.uk
which provides online food orders from listed restaurants.
I feel the above site is quite intersting. And contains good and useful information.

Is online food ordering safe?

I am a server at the Olive Garden. I served 2 ladies, and 1 of their sons. They ordered 3 drinks (3 soft drinks with free refills/not water), 1 glass of wine, (5!) entrees, 2 appetizers, and the usual salad and breadsticks that come with the meal. I gave them 4 free wine samples each. I brought their food remarkably fast (I only had 2 other tables). But they asked for 3 extra scoops of dressing on the salad, with 3 extra salad dressing cups on the side. 1$ person didn't want olives on her salad, so I brought out extra olives for the 2 others who wanted it in cups on the side (since there was no room on their table for another salad). They asked for so much cheese that I had to use 2 FULL cheese graters for the salad alone. I refilled the drinks 3 times, and even boxed the salad and breadsticks, even though I am not obliged to do so since it is unlimited, and only the entree is required to go in the box. In short, I gave great service. The bill came to 87.00 and they left 6.50. Why?

I recently called my Pizza Hut down the street for delivery. After going through about 1minute and 30 seconds of automated crap it was announced I was being transeferred to an operator. Then I got This operator with a heavy India accent, she then asked me every question I had just answered through automation. That alone was annoying enough but the fact that she asked me at least 7 times to repeat my street address, and about 4 times to spell it, just irked the hell out of me. My street is Indiana Street, like the state, if you speak english you should at least KNOW how how to spell I-N-D-I-A-N-A when the letters are given to you. When you here I-N-D-I-A....you should NOT cut off the customer and say "INDIA? NO I need street ADDRESS"....after at least 5 minutes of this, no exaggeration, I told the person forget it...I guess I won't be ordering Piza Hut pizza anymore. Has anyone else had any experience similar to this with Pizza Hut?
