I posted this in another thread and appropriate here too. We go out 2-3 times a week. Unless we go to our favorites, we are ALWAYS disappointed, even those places with good Trip Advisor and Yelp ratings. Went to a local brewery pub last night and both our dinners were phenomenal and just as important, our server was fantastic. I am writing a long letter to the restaurant later today about how good he and the food was last night.
Mongolian Beef tacos, though Indian naan was used, and rightfully so with the big chunky strips of beef tucked inside them. Pic below. NE hazy IPA was good too.
$25 Mongolian Beef tacos
$26 Steak tip salad
$8 IPA
$59 Total w/ tax was $63 We left a $20 tip. I got to try 3 different beers (enthusiastically delivered), server was friendly and made good recommendations, prompt, asked if everything was ok and so on, so he deserved the 33% tip.
Here's the thing, I am thrilled to pay $80 for a great dinner for two. But hate paying $50 for poor to average. At least in those times we get to tip 10% because the service mirrors the food.
