I don't work in the kitchen so I don't know but it almost seemed like because they were making the same few dishes in high quantities that more pre cooking and having shit sit around was the case where as on a normal night it would be made to order. Service pending on how high end the place was seemed like they were looking down on you.

Again, just my experience I have had good dineout experiences too but mostly unforgettable.

To each their own I guess. Apologies if I offended you
Exactly what I meant.

The boxing day/plane ticket sales comparison doesn't work. In those instances I'm getting same product for less. Dineout, I am paying less, but I am also getting an inferior product (food/service)
