Here's why restaurant managers, servers, and chefs all agree that you should stay in and have a romantic dinner at home instead.
It sounds so innocent, going out to a nice restaurant for a Valentine's Day meal. But the way Mandy Lee puts it, the holiday often means a night of"incredibly wasted couples making out and sometimes never ordering." Lee, a Minneapolis-based server, isn't alone in thinking this way. If you're scouring the Valentine's menus that restaurants are pushing this week, we urge you to stop: Don't go out to eat on Valentine's Day.
"Waiting on more independent tables"—eight pairs instead of four four-tops, for example—"means a higher number of checks are open at any given time" Stress aside, your server may not want to be at work in the first place. Andy Lee, owner and beverage director ofin New York, says that"one of the interesting challenges is to get enough front-of-house staff to work that night. Some staff will want to work because they're making a lot of money, but others want to go on a date with their girlfriends or boyfriends.
While some restaurants may be proudly featuring new dishes on a prix fixe menu,"the kitchen might also be cleaning out the walk-in," says Kim Hatcher, who has worked front of house in several Vancouver restaurants. The food may not be the kitchen's best work:It's worth remembering that the restaurant may not be offering your favorite dishes from previous visits.
