    Do you think your opinion of a particular restaurant changes due perhaps to factors such as change of owner, changes in menu or even (if everything remains okay) boredom? If so, then it is difficult to name, say, a top 4 now, when next week we might have a different opinion.

    Partially true, the only problem with that Jack, is that in most cases, the problem is not in the wait staff, but in the kitchen, and i'm not sure the kitchen gives a sh*t what the wait staff tells them. At my fav's, the wait staff always apologizes profusely to us (regulars) when the kitchen screws up, they KNOW how we like things....

    SPEAKING OF PLACES (YES, I'M SHOUTING).. WHEN THE HELL WILL ANY RESTAURANT, I MEAN ANY, IN THIS BURG LEARN TO SERVE THE APPETIZER AND THEN THE MAIN COURSES TOGETHER.
    ONE OF MY FAVS, "ONE OF THE BEST" (eat there weekly) YESTERDAY SERVED:
    1. one main course
    2. the appetizer (10 min later)
    3. the other main course (after the other finished )

    Is the kitchen staff that unorganized, yes they were very busy, but ???

    We were there yesterday. food was good but could not git what we went there for. seems they are developing cultural habit of 'not available sir'. 3 choices we made were 'no stock'.

    Agree! The Cook here today was going to cook my favourite; "Banana Peel Burgers" but partway through cooking, realised we were out of Eggs and Flour, so skipped to "Fried Pork and Banana Peels with Rice" instead. Adversity changed the course of Lunch and saved the day, and judging by the sample I just partook in, I know I will be having an extra serving! :wink: "My Kitchen" is one establishment I will not give up on in any hurry! :biggrin: hehe

    Or a new cook. Restaurants are only as good as the cook. If he takes a day off or quits then things go downhill fast. Then there are the ingredients and the management but I believe a good cook can overcome those obstacles. Then again, the cook may have been in a tuba coma that day. :devilish:

    Well the OP did ask for complaints...on the internet...on a forum with mostly old men. There was only ever going to be one outcome.
