Peeves
 
Since our objective is to encourage your trying good restaurants, we do not have reviews for restaurants that are less than satisfactory.
If you find a restaurant here, it's an endorsement!  If a restaurant is not listed don't assume the restaurant isn't good--maybe we just haven't reviewed it yet!  (If you go, please send us a review.)

Pet Peeves

Eating at a restaurant should be enjoyable!  Some of these reviews will mention things that get in the way of an enjoyable experience.

  • Taking Water Glasses Away to be Refilled
    When the water glass runs out--it should never leave the table to be refilled.  In one restaurant, recently, the server picked up glasses from a number of tables, filled them and brought them back.  So, who gets whose germs? 

    One of the criteria before we approach a restaurant to sponsor this site--jugs of water are used to refill glasses at the table.  Basic hygiene.
     
  • Cold Food on Cold Plates
    You would think restaurants would try to serve food on hot plates, since that would help keep the food warm. However, when food arrives on a hot plate it usually means it sat under the heat lamps until all the items were ready, or until the waiter/waitress picked up the plate.

    Hot food on hot plates is just fine--cold food on cold plates should be unacceptable.

  • Not enough Cream and Sugar on the Table
    Waiting for cream is a needless irritation and it means the server has to make extra trips to the table.

    The Golden Star will often leave a coffee jug on the table.  Talk about convenient!

  • Waiting for the Bill (from webmaster@gpab.net)
    This is a tough one, often the diner is in a hurry--but the waiter/waitress does not want to appear to be rushing them.  

    A waitress at the Ritz had a wonderful solution.  She dropped off the bill, and asked us to call her over if we wanted anything else.  If we were in a hurry we could leave, otherwise we knew we were welcome to stay!

    On the other hand, if I'm in a hurry I should tell the waiter/waitress, and have payment ready so they don't have to make a second trip to the table.

  • No Water on the Table
    It is so nice to sit down and receive a glass of cold water without asking.  One thing about those stubble-jumpers, in Saskatchewan this is common practice.

  • Flies
    Oh, but I hate flies in a restaurant.  Right up there with unclean washrooms.
