Evaluation of The Sweet Basil Rodney Woods DeVry University

Evaluation of The Sweet Basil We were invited to an Italian restaurant, by some friends to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The Sweet Basil is located in the more upscale part of town. So my expectations were high. Of course we had three criteria’s to meet, although most likely normal for most people. First food choices – quality and quantity (I have a big appetite). Second would be service – how fast we get a table, how well the waitress tends to our needs. Third would be the total cost per couple could not exceed $40 per couple. Very few expectations were met, let alone exceeded. Considering The Sweet Basil is trying to bill itself as a high end restaurant. The first criteria is food, the main reason of going out in the first place is to have good food, and good portion sizes. The menu was full of Italian varieties, although short on descriptions. Also the menu was very hard to read in the dimly light dining area. We had to ask for a better description from the waitress as well as portion sizes, in order to make a selection. Of course the waitress was very professional and very helpful on this part. This brings us to the second criteria. Service staff- The Hostess and the waitress were professional, personable and very nice. However our party had reserved a table for 6 on a Friday at 7:30 p.m., and still waited 30 minutes before we were seated. The Hostess apologized for the wait; lead us to on over crowed dining room. Where I could hear the conversation at the next table, better than I could at our own table. We waited several minutes until the waitress could take our order just for drinks. We were only given a wine menu, nothing about beers, or teas. The waitress was very helpful with all of us when it came to the menu. However we had to ask several times for refills for our drinks, and she only

    If a restaurant wants to be the best, then they have to meet some criteria in order to do so. The first defying factor, is whether the atmosphere the restaurant has, is an enjoyable one. Next, in order to have a good experience at that restaurant, the service has to good. This means not only friendly service, but quick service as well. Of course the most important factor, that determines how good a restaurant is, has to do with how good the food is. If food quality is poor, then that can really put a bad image on that restaurant. Lastly, after all of the other factors, was the experience, and the food worth…

    The environment and atmosphere of this restaurant is a very sketchy and unprofessional feeling. The servers make customers feel that they are a bother to them. The music that plays all day long is country, blasting over the restaurant, which made it hard to hear anyone talk. The inside is not kept up either. Parts of the ceiling were falling onto tables and the floor and the server simply stated that it was because of the rain but never did anything about it. The bathrooms…

    Second, we had a very talkative and rude waitress. When we first sat down we waited almost 30 minutes just to get our drinks and appetizer put in. On top of getting our drinks late, we had to keep asking for refills. I don’t expect a waitress to keep all drinks completely filled, but when every drink at a table is completely dry, I would think they would need a refill. Paying almost $2.00 for a drink is ridiculous enough, so I try to get what my money is worth. Also on top of all of that, our waitress kept talking to the other table near us while standing at our table. I would have rather not had a waitress and have done it all myself.…

    I am currently employed at the Olive Garden in Oshkosh WI so I only thought doing my managerial report project on this service restaurant was appropriate. The Oshkosh Olive Garden was opened in the April of last year and has been running smoothly ever since. Olive Garden is a chain restaurant so there are locations all over the United States around 700 to be exact, this means a lot of the price setting and procedures are set country wide not from restaurant to restaurant. Even so each Olive Garden keeps track of their own sales and personally contributes to the overall company. At Olive Garden we proudly serve lunch and dinner with a casual Italian dining experience. The dinner entrees are priced anywhere from $11- $19 a meal but included unlimited soup or salad and then breadsticks. I have been working at the Olive Garden for about 7 months now so I felt that I knew most of what goes on on the outside of the restaurant but it is time to take a deeper look into the procedures put into this everyday restaurant.…

    Buca Di Beppo Review

    • 1172 Words
    • 5 Pages

    For me personally, I love Italian food because of how much Italian’s appreciate the dinner table. What I mean by “appreciating the dinner table” is how Italians take time to cherish the food but also interact with friends and family while you enjoy the authentic meals. Anyone who walks into Buca di Beppo can begin to feel the authenticity of the restaurant because they do a tremendous job escorting customers to their seat and sharing their history that allows you to see why this restaurant has been around for so many years. When you com to the restaurant when its not busy a waiter or a waitress usually escorts customers to their seat by going on a mini tour around the restaurant walking through the kitchen, around the bar and to their seat. I loved the fact that they walk you through the kitchen to show how they use fresh ingredients and how clean and organized their kitchen is. During this tour it really showed the distinct features of an Italian restaurant. Walking through the restaurant with hundreds of framed pictures across the walls of families and celebrities really made the place feel “homey” and “lively”. This certainly reassured me that my food was going to be fresh.…

    The atmosphere at Applebee's was very pleasant and our waiter was friendly and accommodating. We counted seven courtesies (please, thank you, your welcome, may I help you, etc.) that he said to us. Unfortunately, we did overhear another waiter making unprofessional complains about their customer. Our waiter also told us that he had been in the service industry for nine years and had been working at Applebee’s for two years. He had the most…

    In this lab we tested to see if the amount of sunlight exposed to the basil seed, would affect the growth. The null hypothesis for this experiment was that there would be no statistical difference between the green, yellow, and red basil seeds’ growth. Three alternate hypotheses are: If we expose the green seed to 48 hours of sunlight and the yellow seed to 24 hours of sunlight, then the green seed with grow more than the yellow. The opposite of this hypothesis would alternate 2. Another alternate hypothesis is (3): if we expose the yellow basil seed to 24 hours of sunlight, and the red for 0.5 hours a day, then the yellow basil seed will grow more than the red. The opposite of this one would be alternate 4.…

    This was one of the most embarrassing and uncomfortable dining experiences that I had to endure in the Orlando area. I was with a party of ten celebrating the birthday of another family member. We arrived at this location around 7:30 pm, registered with the front desk, and sat for 55 minutes after we questioned and were told that our table for TEN was being prepared. However, we were separated into two groups, thus forcing the birthday person to switch from table to table to thank family members. Almost immediately after we were seated, we questioned the seating arrangements and were told that the hostess wouldn't allow it our table switch for whatever apparent reason. But we noticed that the hostess just literally ignored the waiters concern.…

    Initial impressions were positive. The restaurant looked like a neat place to eat. The décor seemed to follow a kind of hip-retro rock-n-roll kind of theme, and there was even an old Moto Guzzi motorcycle parked on a stand in the middle of the floor for atmosphere. The hostess showed us to our table, and we waited. The waitress came by and took our drink order. We waited some more, and the waitress brought our drinks and took our food order. We waited some more. And then we waited some more. We waited and waited and waited. Our little two-year-old was growing cranky and impatient, but we waited and waited for the better part of an hour. Finally, after watching other people who came in after us get their food, the waitress came by and said it would be just a few more minutes. A few minutes later, she came by and said the kitchen was just starting our order. We left.…

    Service Quality Report

    The criteria's I was looking at was food which is not only spicy but also tasty and a full dinner course which will cost me not more than $50. To find information on restaurants, I always go to a website called Urbanspoon. The website contains detailed reviews of restaurants and it also has customer reviews of the restaurants. In addition, the website has a rating system so the customers can rate the restaurants on the basis of food quality, price and service. Customers can rate the restaurants in each of the 3 criteria's from a score of 1 to 5, with 5 representing the highest score and 1 the lowest. Also, there is a section on the website which shows you how much a meal is likely to cost you in the restaurant you are looking to go. As I had a evoked set in front of me, the website was just ideal for me as it gave me a lot of possible options to evaluate the three criteria's I was look at. Moreover, the available information helped me to evaluate my options quickly and accurately.…

    Restaurants may be classified or distinguished in many different ways. The primary factors are usually the food itself (e.g. vegetarian, seafood, steak); the cuisine (e.g. Italian, Chinese, Indian, French, Thai) and/or the style of offering (e.g. tapas bar, a sushi train, a tastet restaurant, a buffet restaurant or a yum cha restaurant). Beyond this, restaurants may differentiate themselves on factors including speed (see fast food), formality, location, cost, service, or novelty themes (such as automated restaurants).…
