And I'll generally give anyplace one bad meal, chalking it up to luck of the draw. Two bad meals, though, and it's all over. There are enough wonderful places out there that there's no need to keep patronizing proven losers.
Interesting. I generally am satisfied with Ruth's Chris. I'm there for the meat not the experience or the service, so I might be easier to please. I've had nothing but good experiences at i Ricchi. It is just down the street from my office and I have been there several times. Usually we are spending a good chunk of change, maybe that helps on the service side (although it should make no difference). You are more generous than I. 1 bad meal and I'm out. I'll go back with a group or if someone else wants to go there, but not if I'm choosing.
