Eating out is an expensive business, so you really want to be sure of a good experience. However, there are a lot of different styles of restaurants which one can choose from, depending on his taste, personal preferences, financial situation, mood and occasion. The most common restaurant types include: steakhouses, seafood restaurants, casual dining, pizzeria, coffee houses, fast food and fancy restaurants. Restaurants may be distinguished by the type of servicing - buffets and those with waiters. When talking about ordinary places to eat so the criteria for the restaurants are quite clear cheap, tasty and clean. In terms of fancy restaurants, where people pay hundreds of dollars to have a meal the following features are to be taken into consideration: location, characteristics, welcome, food server and waiter, food, environment (parking, restrooms, lighting), bar, smile factor, time factor, profit factor (beverages offered, dessert menus presented).
