I don’t know how willing some of you are to travel for some of the best food in the country, but if you are not a Delaware native and you want to sample the flavor then get ready to print some directions, fire up the home security systems and get in the car. I have a small list of the top dining destinations in Delaware and you won’t believe what I found:

Go Fish – Try to imagine what it would look like if a fish and chip shop was plucked from London and plopped right down in the States! That’s what you get at Go Fish – an authentic fish and chips experience from across the pond.

Abbott’s Grill – Stop in for a meal and a one of a kind personalized experience that you just don’t find with many other grills of this kind. The service is friendly and the menu is absolutely stunning for tastes both young and old.

Dover Downs – This hotel and casino features one of the best dining experiences in the region and, if you’re not too full, there is plenty more to do with a casino and live shows happening all the time. Great food and great fun.

Dining solo can be a great experience. Some people might feel that one might not haved any fun when eating at a restauraunt all by onesself however it can be quite a relaxing experience. If one chooses to dine alone there arfe some etiquette rules tghat one must abide by. erhaps one of the most important rules that one can abide by is to tip proprly. Even though one may be dining alone the wait staff still has to work hard brining the food and keeping ones drinks refilled therefore it is customary for one to tip at least the average of ten to fifteen percent. If one has had good service one must try to leave at least two to three dollars depending on the amount of the bill. There are even options where one does not have to tip when dining alone. Restaurants such as Five Guys in Wilmington, Delaware have delicious burgers and fries and one does not have to tip due to the style of the restaurant. They offer affordable burgers that are around five to six dollars but they taste like a gourmet restaurant cooked them. Any restaurant will offer the option for take out if one does not feel like dining in amongst hoards of other people.

Dining Alone? Great Restaurants For The Solo Diner

What is a great restaurant for the solo diner? My answer is any restaurant. There is no rule, hidden or otherwise, that says it is unacceptable to dine alone. Some advantages to dining alone are that you do not have to argue about where to eat, you go where you want. Most likely you will not have to wait for a table regardless of the time of day, you can opt to sit at the counter or the bar. Also, since your bill will be less, the amount of your tip will be less also, I generally give 15, more if they provide outstanding service, and less if not.

If you do feel awkward about dining alone, there are some tricks to getting around that too. If you are a reader, bring a book or electronic reading device to fill the time while waiting for your meal. If in a venue where there is a television, watch whatever sporting or news event is showing and take interest. Become a fan for the day. Also, you can pretend that you are a food critic and do an evaluation of the establishment. Take in all the elements and become a judge, this will provide you empowerment over the situation.

To Insure Prompt Service-Tips on Tipping

We’ve all got that memorable waiter from your favorite restaurant. The one who always smiles at you and is so nice. How do you thank her for all the trouble she goes through to ensure that you have the best experience possible? Tipping obviously. How do you know if you’re giving her enough though? Tipping can make or break how a service person treats you and looks at you. You must remember that your tip is providing their ability to pay bills, and if you don’t give enough then they’re struggling.

It’s not just people in the restaurant industry that receive tips.Check out this link here. Hair stylists, hotel bellmen, and even sky caps at the airport rely on tips for their lively hood. So how much is enough? The general rule of thumb is 15 of whatever your bill is. This can vary though. Obviously for bad service, minimal or no tip should be given. Holiday’s come into play for services that you use constantly. Babysitters and hair stylists, people you have built relationships with may deserve a little extra when it comes to be that time of year. How much you use their service, and how good their service is will always play a role in how much or how little of a tip someone deserves.
