What do you DISlike about restaurants in your home town? ..

.. or anywhere! .. Apart from issues around tipping, the big restaurant annoyance for me is the amount of hard interior surfacing that boosts the noise level. Sometimes I poke my head in the door and decide 'No thanks'; Or I'll leave without ordering, after sitting for a couple of uncomfortable minutes. My favorites are the few where MW and I can still enjoy a quiet meal together.

Noise in general: music too loud, flooring which amplifies the sound of people walking, the annoying sound of ubereats orders coming in on tablets...
TVs showing people talking about sports
Uncomfortable seating
Tables which are either too low or too high for the height of the chairs

@thisguy20 Pizza Hut had a very nice ambiance in their older restaurants, 70’s-90’s style. Wood tables, red gingham curtains, candles on tables, subdued lighting. It was an affordable casual place for date nights back then for the young blue-collar crowd. Then about 15 years ago they decided it needed an update, they built a new restaurant a half-mile up the road, put two large dining rooms, each with 5 big-screen TV’s and brighter lighting, no curtains or any type of character. The only thing that even resembles the older restaurants is the aroma of the pizzas as you enter the restaurant. Several time I’ve went inside to pick up a carry-out order and there might be one or two tables occupied as large as it is…and this is on a Friday evening when they used to be very busy with most all of the tables filled. This is the type of thing I miss in restaurants today. Also liked the old-fashioned diners, they had their own type of ambience as well, clean & bright too.
