Default 2013 Favorite restaurants

I have a question...what criteria do YOU use in determining your favorite restaurant?

Personally, my first impression with respect to cleanliness makes a big impact on me, and this includes walking up to the entrance door, the coat room area, and restrooms. Nothing, absolutely nothing, turns me off more quickly than having to navigate through a group of smokers standing outside a restaurant. This is a real deal breaker for me.

Secondly, a pleasant greeter who seems to be glad we are there, followed by an equally pleasant server who makes us feel comfortable.

After these two, any number of issues can come into play - atmosphere, noise level, waiting times. etc.

So, what does it for you, or, doesn't do it for you?

A great meal usually works for me. I can overlook a lot of other stuff if the actual meal meets or beats expectations.

Thumbs up Consistency is my key.

Many new restuarants are super when they open, then falls on their knees. So, if a reatuarant give consistence good service and food, they make my list. Any good establishment can have a bad day.

Any establishment that can own up to their mistake(s) and honor it is the key to customer satisfaction. The days of 'forgetaboutit' are long gone.
