I agree. We went to a Red Lobster recently. The food was dreadful. We had not been there for six months or so because the last time we went, the food was dreadful. And they messed up my order. I think they discounted my order or maybe gave it o us for free, but even a free meal could not make up for the poor food quality. We went to an Olive Garden last week. It was our first visit there since May of last year. The food was not so bad, but the service was lacking. We were not given silverware until our salad arrived, and we had to ask for it. We were asked if we wanted more breadsticks when our meal arrived though we had never been served any breadsticks. The tea was good. I can’t remember if hubby went without tea for very long. The prices were high for the quality of service.
Hubby and I prefer a local Mexican restaurant over all the chain restaurants. We love the food. The service is usually the best though we cringe sometimes when we have a particular waitress. And it is a lot cheaper than other places. The biggest problem there is the long wait to get in. The food is sooo worth it.

My favorite place to take Mrs. Tweezers for a meal lately has been an Indian restaurant not far from our home. The food isn’t cheap, but so far we haven’t eaten anything there that we didn’t like (although I wish the fish tikka masala I ordered last time had contained more than eight small pieces of fish) and the service is excellent.
It seems that the small mom-and-pop eateries try a little harder these days...
I just wish we had one good restaurant! LOL.
Closest good Mexican restaurant is in Clinton, so I get there once a year.
