I had an excellent martini at Chop last evening for 10 and the glass was full to the rim.

Try upscale retaurants like Turner's Kitchen ,Leesburg. They only seat groups of 4 or less. Quiet with great service and wonderful food.

Also has a favorite sea food house, same thing, always the host, always had same waiter, things are just not like that any more. Those days a long gone. I'm finally beginning to understand what I NEVER understood... how my grandmother would speak so longingly of the "old days".... LOL ! NOW I realize how nice it was to go into one of the major department stores and know the elevator operator, even in a big city ! How nice it was to know the mail person, the man at the filling station who pumped the gasoline AND cleaned your windows, etc. Never appreciated those things enough at the time I guess. "Ray", the mail man, always a nice smile, a few words of chatting, never received mail that actually belonged to someone else.. some good things about those "old days" !

Great post and you are spot on. I could add much to your sentiment but will only add that it all starts with “discipline” that starts with parents who taught me and others that a “job
worth doing is worth doing well”.

We've had good luck at Blue Fin. The very first time we ate there my scallops seemed undercooked. From then on, I've ordered them well done. Problem solved. We are not fussy people and rarely have a bad meal at any of the restaurants in the area. I just can't stand undercooked meats. In fact, I remember the worst 2 meals I've ever had in my life were at expensive restaurants; one was the Contemporary Resort at Disney World and the other was Cattlebaron's in Spanish Springs. Not only inedible food, the service was terrible too. Never went back.

Missing napkins and silverware came out after the food, bread came out when entrees were done or sent back. Manager comped the raw fish and gave us a gift card, which is fine, he made an effort. It’s just frustrating that we pay good money yet are disappointed time and againat so many restaurants. For now our weekly excursions as a group are going to be at our homes, everyone chipping in a dish. We will eat much better

I have eatern there a few times. Never disappointed but never left there thinking how great it was either. Just an average restaurant in TV even though they market it as high end.

I was not impressed with Bluefin the first and only time I’ve been. Have no desire to go back.
