RESTAURANT
RANTS & RAVES
CANADA
Here are the watch categories
| Ambiance |
The effect the decor and lighting have on me at the
time and how I think others will be affected by it. |
| Food |
How the food is prepared, presented, and tastes. If
there is a specialty, getting it right is critical. |
| Service |
This is the
biggy. Bad service can destroy everything
and to be good service it needs to be very personal. If I want
impersonal, I'll have it delivered. |
| Second
Chance |
Something's wrong - I don't care if I notice it or you
notice it (sometimes right is not right for the customer and it's
the customer's fault). The question is can you get it 'right' and
get the 'mood' back again. |
| Overall
Experience |
This is weighted depending on the entire experience.
If the food wasn't perfect - and I wasn't that hungry - and you made
me enjoy my time there - you might get a higher mark than if I was
starving, in a rush, and wanted food that made my limited time there
an experience. |
| Here's
the scale... |
| 1 |
Call the paramedics (or a psychiatrist) |
| 2 |
I should have eaten at home |
| 3 |
Needs work - some distractions, still recommend |
| 4 |
OK - Got what I expected |
| 5 |
Highly recommend - exceeds expectations |

Video monitor and multiple microphones make this
a cab ridge around Toronto that you won't forget. Sorry no website only
his phone number. Prepare to be late to your destination, because it's
always once more around the park to get in another song. |

Okay place. They have four locations and are
suffering from system myopia: so focused on creating a standard and
meeting that standard that they have lost 'heart and soul'. Might be a
decent franchise model and eventually they can bring the 'life' back into
the operation. |

Located in the theatre district and close to
sports and entertainment venues, it's a great place to eat or sit at the
bar and drink (music is soft, so conversation is easy). They don't have
their own website, but you can find them on the web on other sites. Lebert
Williams and Doran Major proprietors. |
