My Personal Restaurant Reviw ②

In this page, let me introduce about what my friend and I ate at the restaurant!

Food items

1.    Cesar salad $10.95

 We could get bread for free as a service:)

2.    Meat balls pasta　$17.50

3.    Nachos $11.50

4.    White chocolate caramel macadamia nut cheesecake $7

 

Taste 4/4

All dishes were very delicious. Since the restaurant name is the Cheesecake factory, cheesecake was especially good. Macadamia nut was very crunchy, which is good accent to creamy cheesecake. Also, caramel was melted and a bit salty. All ingredients were well balanced.

Quality 4/4

The quality of the dishes was perfect. Cesar salad was simple, but vegetables were seasoned well and topped crouton was just right size. In addition, Meatballs were juicy and meat juice was poured out.        

 

Appear 4/4

Nachos were topped beautifully from tortilla chips to guacamole, salsa and sour cream. Cheddar cheese was melted over the chips. It looks attract people so much.

Value 3/4

The volume of salad was too much that we couldn’t finish eating nachos. Ithink too little is more dissapointing thing than too much, but the huge amount of salad unable us to eat other dishes.

About the staff

Most- the server guy who served most our dishes was friendly and seemed to enjoy his work. I felt that he really wanted customers to enjoy having diner at the restaurant.

Least- the cleaner staff was unfriendly. When we asked to get water refill, he ignored us. 

This restaurant is in the United State, so this is why all dishes were bigger than usual dishes served in Japanese normal restaurant. Anyway, I really reccomend this restraunt. If you go there, YOU SHOULD EAT CHEESECAKE!!!!!!! I want to try different taste of cheesecake next time.

My Personal Restaurant Review ①

Hell everyone!

On December 26^th, I went to an American family restaurant, called the Cheesecake factory, located in Hawaii with my best friend. The restaurant is very famous among tourists, so we planed to have dinner at the restaurant before going travel to Hawaii. The cheesecake factory is known as wide-ranging cheesecakes, but also offers pastas, hamburgers, salads and so on. 

The entrance of the restaurant 

When we entered the restaurant, there were very crowded because there were people who were lining to take out cheesecake as well as people who were waiting to be seated. In front of the door there were about four to five waitresses at counter. They were all wearing black dress, which looked clean. Even though it seemed there were many people waiting, we waited for only 10 minutes to be seated. I think that is because waitresses guide customers effectively.

After we were seated, a server came to our table soon. We had already decided what we were going to have, so we could order soon after we got seated. 

We didn’t order any special drinks, but instead server gave us glass of water.

One problem is that salad, pasta and bread came nearly same time, so we couldn’t eat salad as appetizer. And also, all of the dishes could not be put on the table because of the size of the table. In addition, we ordered nachos without jalapeño, green onion and coriander. However, server took our order differently, we were served nachos with jalapeno, green onion and coriander first, then we told them its not ours. 7 minutes after we server first, nachos finally came, and manager apologized us. It was polite. 

  The server checked back two times, after we were served all dishes and when we were about to finish meals. The last time he checked was he asked us to be ready to have dessert, which was very helpful for us because we were still eating nachos.

The most – when the pasta was served, the server asked us if we wanted more Parmesan cheese. We said yes, he topped cheese on the pasta as much we wanted.     

The general manager came to our table and apologized us that they took our order wrong and they served us different nachos first. We didn’t care about the mistake so much, so I was impressed the polite act.

Least -  there were no wet towels at the table. I am used to using wet towels at restaurant, so I felt inconvenient.

Next page I'm going to tell you about the dishes!! 

Restaurant Review [A Video Review]

Hello^^

Today, I an going to analyze a video about a restaurant following the given questions by teacher and share the review with you! The video that was assigned to me was "Step Inside Be Our Guest Restaurant."


-What is focused on in the review?
The video focuses on a place and a service. The restaurant is in Walt Disney World and located in a base of Beast's castle inspired from the Disney movie "A Beauty and A Beast," so guests are able to enjoy the atmosphere and feel like in a movie world. Also, the restaurant is the first quick-service restaurant in Walt Disney World. It offers great food fast.


-How doest it differ from the written review in presentation and content? what features does it have in common with it?
The visual review is recommendation more than review. While, in the written review, it is written contrast between the restaurant present day and past. Both of them are reviewed from positive view.


-Is the review neutral or partisan?
I think the review is very positive. As I said above the question, this review is more like recommendation. The reviewer are telling only positive things.


-Are chefs, owners, or managers, or restaurant staff featured in the video?
They are not featured, but it is possible to see how the restaurant staff look like in the video. They are wearing white shirt blouse and blue vest.


-What is revealed about the culture?
The food is French-inspired menu such as crock monsieur. Also, there are chandler, many paintings, stained glasses and statues of knight in a restaurant. I think they are influenced middle-aged European style.


-Notice the voice of speakers have a pleasing emphasis on certain words and phrases. How does that affect your understanding and enjoyment of it?
The word Magical is often used in the video. In the restaurant, when customers order the meal, they need to use a devise which looks like a button called Magical Rose. Customers can enjoy the meal just putting a button, which is super easy and like a Magic.

I want to visit this restaurant and feel like being a part of the movie!!

Beer

Hi:) Recently I gave presentation about beer at class. so this time I would like to share some findings that I researched for presentation with my blog readers!!

The information about beer that I found is japan's culture with beer and present way of drinking beer.


The first time that Japanese people drank beer was 1724. Merchant ship mission came to Edo and offered beer. In 1869, a German man built brewery at Yokohama, Yamate. At that time, beer was started to be made in earnest in Japan finally. At first, beer was sold mostly for foreigner residents, so beer was thought as high-class sake and was very expensive. After the war, gradually beer was getting popular among ordinary people. They began to drink it as Banshaku. 



Next, I would like to tell you about the low of drinking in Japan. In 1922, Act for Prohibiting Minors from Drinking was issued. It is the low that  people under twenty years old age are banned to drink alcohol. In addition, beer was defined the percentage of alcohol is under 20 in Japanese low. This low was set in order to clarify the difference between beer and not beer alcohol.



These days, most Japanese people, especially office worker, drink beer after they finish work. They usually say "とりあえず生", which means "anyway first let's drink beer.", when they go to Izakaya. There are five popular beer brand in Japan, KIRIN, ASAHI, SANTORY, SAPPORO and EBISU.
Non-alcohol beer is very popular in Japan now. All of these five companies produce non-alcohol beer.  It is beneficial for people who drive a car or are stopped to drink alcohol because of sick.


Anyway I can say....
Beer is loved around the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!
