A Little Introduction

Just like most of the general population, I love food; not only that, I love good food and ideally good food at a good price.  Over the years, I have indulged in many a restaurant meal, from the budget late night snack to elaborate three course meals.  Before deciding on a restaurant I quite often browse through review after review in order to gauge the service and food quality I should expect.  Often however, I am disappointed by what I get; maybe I am just too picky or maybe, just maybe some restaurants don't deserve the ratings they have been given.  Given my critical nature, I decided to put my pickiness to good use by creating this page, with the aim of reviewing every restaurant I go to, everywhere in the world.

To make things a little easier, I have decided on four categories which I will rate:

1 - Food - obviously one of the most important aspects of eating out is food.  We all want to know where we can find a great meal, whether it be a hearty pub lunch or a tasty gourmet surprise. This category will generally be rated on tastiness, portion size, ingredients, sides, basically anything relevant to to the actual food put in front of me.

2 - Atmosphere - atmosphere can make a meal: the music, the noise, the colours, the temperature, the layout.  I will try to convey exactly how each restaurant made me feel, on entering and as I was sat at my table.

3 - Customer Service - recently I have noticed that many people are surprised when they receive good service at a restaurant and also that many people will give a tip even when the service is bad; surely this should not be the case, surely the service should always be good and only when its bad should we be shocked.  I will mark this category based on the greeting, waiting times, and overall quality of the restaurant service, giving credit where credit is due and making sure to outline any specific good or bad points.

4 - Price - This category will basically outline how much you should budget for a meal at each restaurant and then will go on to discuss the worth of the meal, whether it was worth the price paid.

Hopefully this will prove insightful.  I will update it after every new restaurant I go to.  I will try to get a picture of each meal, remember the prices and names of any exceptional staff, however I can be forgetful so apologies if I miss anything out. Enjoy and Bon Appetit!
