restaurant service, recognizing excellent restaurants

[Guest guest]

> Bay Leaf is also a very small restaurant that might be overwelmed by a

party of 20.

 

Most restaurants (even large ones) don't like it when you show up with a

large group and order off the menu. It creates havoc in their kitchen and

disrupts service to their other customers. I know when I volunteered to

host a BAVRT at Stoa's, they immediately recommended having a special menu

with a few items for people to choose from. And they are a large restaurant

with a large number of wait staff. So, while we had ~20 people there,

everyone picked from a pre-selected 2 or 3 choices and I think that helped

Stoa's prepare in advance so we did not have delays in food or deterioration

in service.

 

I am also one of those people that would rather spend my $$ at a vegetarian

(vegan if possible!) restaurant, over a non-veg restaurant. However, I do

agree that restaurants excel in different areas, and that is one of the

reasons that we are sponsoring a restaurant contest with several categories

for vegetarian restaurants ONLY.

 

The vegetarian categories:

 

Best Restaurant for Service

Best Restaurant for Ambience

Best Restaurant for Dinner under $10

Best Restaurant for Breakfast/Brunch

Best Restaurant for Lunch Special

Best Overall Vegetarian Restaurant

Best Overall Vegan Restaurant

Best New Restaurant

 

Open to all restaurants:

Best Restaurant for Vegan Dessert

Best Restaurant for Vegan Pizza

Best Restaurant for (vegan) Veggie Burger
