I don't think this restaurant has TV screens for their diners to watch. This is an upscale restaurant, not one that attracts people because they can watch sports

Two things. One. I was in the cheesecake Factory today. They have TV Screens. They are not a sports bar.

You believe an article supposedly copied from Craig's List and authored by an unnamed restaurant as credible. Wow.

Two things

The last time I was in a Cheesecake Factory they had TV screens only in the bar area, not in the dining area.

I do not consider Cheesecake Factory an "up-scale scale restaurant." It's a chain store. . . serving pre-packaged frozen entrees. I'm referring to restaurants run by top name chefs that people go to because of the name, not the TV. I've eaten in up-scale restaurant's and I cannot think of any that had a TV outside of the bar.

Think restaurants such as Emeril's Del Monico in New Orleans. . . Or at the lower end Ruth's Chris Steak House, where if you're frugal, you and a date might get out with dinner for two for $160 (that's what it cost me four years ago!). . . no TV anywhere there. Or in Sacramento, The Firehouse, around $150 for two. Or any restaurant in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles or Los Vegas with Emeril's, Gordon Ramsey's or Robert Irvine's name on it, where you can wind up paying a couple hundred for dinner for two. Restaurants with TVs don't fall into those categories.

And read the article again. . . it says nothing about patrons watching television in restaurants. It's about them playing with their personal smartphones. . . and I've seen it with my own eyes. Hell, to a certain extent, I've done it after I've ordered. The ONLY people looking at monitors or TV screens in the article are the managers of the restaurant doing the comparison. No patrons. . . except on their own personal devices.
