As Restaurant become more corporate and profit driven. Is it to th the detriment of the dining out experience?

It seems that restaurants are become so corporate and profit driven that they have destroyed the whole dining out experience.

We recently dined at DeVito’s in Miami and it was the most un pleasant experience we ever had. the Miami Spice menu was nowhere to be seen, instead we had the sales pitch from the waiter.

Our bill came to a few cents short of 0 for two entrees and a mediocre average bottle of wine!

We were shocked. When we tried to query we were almost threatened by the nastiest manager we have ever encountered. His name was ‘Paulo’. As menacing as anything you’ve ever seen in Godfather 1, 2 or 3!

DeVitos has more hype than substance, it has to be America’s most expensive restaurant. Never again!

Whatever happened to good old Italian hospitality. Do you think certain restaurants are so crporate and greed driven that they are killing off the pleasantries of the dining out experience?

Its totally to the detriment of the dining experience! When they become "corporate" they tend to try to please ALL the people with bland "one-size-fits-all" food! You pay the same huge price but your food is now blah… there is nothing unique anymore. The corporate theory is that they can sell enough of their food to people who have no idea of what the food should REALLY taste like and make a lot of cash. The customers that actually love and appreciate food are forced to find it somewhere else. Long live the independent restauranteer!

Whoa! Glad I’ve never had that experience! Sorry that you did.
I agree with you, as they get more profit driven the quality has to drop as well as the service. Whenever we have a bad experience with a restaurant we let all our friends know and we don’t dine there again.

We live by the philosophy of 2 strikes and you are out!!
The prolifieration of restaurants allows the consumer to be exteremly selective. If we have a problem we will speak to a manager if the problem is resolved we will come back. If they are nasty, 2nd strike seeya.
