tips for dining out at restaurants

The entree special on Monday is the meat that’s about to go bad. It’s the meat or fish they tried to sell all weekend and here’s what’s leftover. Also, the Chef is usually off on Monday, so there’s less supervision in the kitchen.

Ask the server what their favorite item on the menu is. Then ask them what they order all the time. Order what they order all the time. The favorites are usually the most expensive items. The one they order all the time is really good.

Order wine by the bottle if you and your date plan on having two glasses each. It’s less expensive and you don’t have to wait for the server.

Happy Hours! Take advantage of them. Cheap appetizers that you can count as your meal and cheap beer to wash it down.

Lunch menus are cheaper than dinner menus, often with the same items. Order food right before it switches over to dinner.

If you’re in a hurry, order your check with your meal.
