NEVER go to a restaurant in it's first 3 or 4 months unless it is free, or you are related to someone. There is a microbrew place close by that we were able to score free dinner at two days before it opened, the only stipulation was that we were not free to chose what we were going to get. Since there menu ran heavy on steak and gourmet burgers we were not afraid. Food was great, service stunk, but it was free so we did not complain. Server asked a lot of questions and was not too upset with our remarks on service. On his behalf, it seemed the manager was micromanaging the staff, which caused most of the service issues.
Yeah, I normally take that advice. DW was a manager at a Red Lobster before we were married, and she knows the industry well. But, since we had gift cards, we figured, let's try it. Bad idea. So, even though we spent the gift cards we received as a Christmas present, the restaurant sent us another round of gift certificates. So, we still have a free meal, but we'll wait a few more months before returning.
