Great Food vs Great Experience Which one is more important?
If you had to pick one when dining out, would you go to the restaurant that has great food or to the restaurant that has amazing interior design and great atmosphere. We all know that the most successful restaurants, bars, cafe have both great food and amazing atmosphere. But there are places that we just go because we love the food, or maybe we just fit in with the atmosphere and the people are great. Few days ago my wife and I went to a great restaurant, the food was amazing and the price was great around $25 per/plate, but the experience was not so great. The place was boring and the atmosphere was dead, the inside was nothing special white walls and few decorative paintings, there was no mood in that restaurant it was more like a school cafeteria, and people seems like their don’t even want to be there. Even thought the food was amazing we probably will never go there again. Did you ever been in a restaurant that was missing one or the other, food vs experience?
Of course great food. I ALWAYS pick great food. Atmosphere is is a bonus, not a requirement. The main purpose of dining out is so I can eat good satisfying food. I can spend a great time with the people at lounges, coffee shops, etc with a nice atmosphere after, but the dining has to be on good food, especially that I am paying for it. The worst experience going to this nice fancy place, paying over 50$ and having bland food. I feel ripped off. If you cant make good food, dont open a restaurant. I think any real food lovers will pick good food over nice atmosphere with mediocre food.
