I used to try a new restaurant a few times before deciding if I think it’s good. Busy day and not enough staff, alternative cook, shortage of something, and other things happen. If it is a constant thing, I’m gone. But if the dining experience is great, food great and I leave satisfied, it goes at the top of my list.
Couple of years ago a new Chinese restaurant opened near me. Food was excellent, plentiful and reasonably priced. I went maybe six times and then the menu changed as well as the cook. Prices almost doubled, food was salty with thin sauces or overly thick with cornstarch. Cook left and the owner told me the prices at first were for the opening. I told her the prices were crazy and she asked why.
Two egg rolls are usually about $4 and they charged $6 for frozen, not fresh. She tried to justify the price but I said they weren’t using expensive veggies or exotic meats/fish. “Oh you cook??” was her response. Sorry, lady, two small shrimp that were frozen aren’t big bucks.
I tried a new coffee shop across from Dunkin Donuts. I thought the iced coffee was weak and the donut stale. I’ll try again so who knows. But if you’re used to one place, the others can’t compete unless extraordinary. I’ll spend a buck more on iced coffee that tastes better. Others are misers and prefer cheap over quality.
Word of mouth is your best advertisement.
