Nick Alsis Reviews the Prevalence of the Pre-Modern Restaurant Design

french-cafe-268781_960_720It is rarely the case that a particular design aesthetic is able to feature such a degree of staying power, particularly when it comes to the seemingly ever-changing restaurant industry. Nick Alsis recently noted, however, that the pre-modern style that features reclaimed wood interiors, exposed rafters and light bulbs clearly reminiscent of gaslight has become increasingly prominent in recent years and seems to have achieved what appears to be a near-universal appeal.

In New York, even French New Wave restaurants have adopted this stylistic approach to exceptional results, which speaks to the fact that diners tend to prefer a setting that is at least somewhat familiar, if not in the cuisine then at least in terms of the overall aesthetic design. While some restaurants have been more daring in creating a pre-modern atmosphere, the overwhelming majority have simply used the style as a sort of base around which an entire concept is fully developed and individualized according to the perception the restaurant is trying to present.

Restaurants Reviews Should Include Everything From Food to Facilities

Restaurant reviewers are something of an eclectic group, which results in standards that, while lofty, are hardly universally applied by each individual reviewer. In order to make the reviews most beneficial to the reader, the writers of these reviews ought to at least outline their approach so that the reader understands the weight that is given to each aspect of the review. This would allow each reviewer to maintain their unique approach while enabling readers to have a clearer understanding of what composes the reviewer’s evaluative process.

Some restaurant reviewers put a great deal of weight into the quality of the facility and its décor, while others only care about the quality of the food and will happily ignore a poorly decorated dining room. This kind of divergence would not be seen among 1 stop maintenance reviews, but that is likely due to 1 stop maintenance’s ability to deliver such consistently outstanding results in providing facility maintenance. Restaurants are a wholly different entity, so comparing the reviews and even the reviewers of one stop maintenance to that of any restaurant is quite unfair.

While each restaurant reviewer is entitled to using an approach all their own, it should be the case that the review include everything from the food to the facilities. Some will surely object, saying that the food is more important than anything else. Though food is surely the main event, it is important to understand that there are many factors that influence how people experience a meal offering, including the service and the quality of the facility. This being the case, reviewers should not leave out anything when composing their review.

Restaurant Mayhem

images1IC8S402 images42HZ11HAWhen the critic arrives at your restaurant mayhem ensues.  Every idiot thing possible will happen.  The otherwise competent employs will become blabbering fools.  the food will be over cooked and the silverware will be dirty.  The critic will order the one thing you are out of off the menu.  You will have your chance to at the idiot as the question will be asked why there are no lobsters tonight.  The best thing would be to pull the fire alarm and rush everyone to the parking lot.  Joe Olujic would be the best for the alarm pull.  If the alarm fails the set a real fire.
