In the course of my extensive food-writing career, I have spent countless hours examining the fine points of a dining experience under the microscope. I have made it my trademark to be detail oriented in all of my reports about any experience I have had at a Providence Restaurant. As a result, where most other food bloggers and reviewers may paint their picture with a broad brush, my articles are written as if by a fine point pen. This means that I discuss the subtlest aspects of dining that others typically skim over.
Some of my favorite topics to address are the atmosphere of an establishment, the interior and exterior décor, and the interaction between staff and customer. A loyal reader of my work recently commented that I only seem to write about the good things I look for when I am out to eat. He said that I rarely discussed the things that someone would want to look out for if they were out to eat at a restaurant. In response, I have decided to write about 6 signs that you need to pay your bill and leave the area immediately because you are in a very bad restaurant. I know some of you are wondering why I chose only six items for this article. The reason is that there are so many things that can go wrong while someone is out to eat that I felt obligated to generalize things a little bit in order to make this article a little easier to write.
The first sign that you may be in for a bad time is often the smell when you walk in. This is not a guaranteed sign that the place serves bad food but it is one of the first things you will experience at a restaurant and if it is combined with one or more of the following signs, it is probably time to head out. The next sign is another thing that you will notice early on in the dining experience. Providence Restaurant cleanliness is one of my biggest pet peeves. I understand that the food industry is messy by nature but part of the industry is having good service. Part of having good service is making sure that you keep everything clean. Some specific signs to look out for are sticky tables, food or other trash on the ground, and a personal least favorite, a dirty kitchen.
I know some of you are probably scratching your heads about that one because the kitchen at a restaurant is not normally a place that the average diner will go. The reason I bring this up is because a new trend in restaurants is having open kitchens with some kind of window from the dining room into the kitchen. This is to allow guests to get a sense of the process involved in making their food and perhaps allow them to become more immersed in the dining experience rather than just eating their food. The problem is, this system can sometimes backfire. If the chefs and other kitchen staff are not extra diligent about ensuring that things are kept extremely neat, customers will be repulsed when their food comes no matter how good it is. Even for those places whose kitchens are closed off, when servers walk in and out of the kitchen doors, people get a glimpse inside. If people do not like what they see going on the kitchen, the restaurant is going to be in big trouble. If you see a messy kitchen it is time to get out of there. SO far we are at two out of six signs. Stay tuned for part two where I will share the rest of the signs.
