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 |

barbecue at its best. Take out or Eat In. BYOB if you
want to drink something with alcohol. Can't say enough
about the food - and lots of it with big servings.
Ferry Street in general is a great location for
restaurants right behind the Pennsylvania Station.

This is a hometown place - nothing
fancy. Mostly locals that are very friendly. Food is
great. Comfort food in any language. Vinnie and Sharon
make the place home away from home. You have to have
some east coast time to realize, time has stopped here
and it's great to know places like this are still in
business.
