During this winter break is a time of relaxation and to treat yourself to a nice night out. I have come to part with chain- food restaurants for a plethora of reasons. To begin with, most chain restaurants have few healthier eating options and can be ridiculously priced for the quality of food. Next is the atmosphere, when going out for a meal we want to feel relaxed and enjoy the overall experience. I have witnessed that for certain restaurants the service does not quite meet expectations. This does not go for all chain- restaurants however, it has occurred with my dinning experience a little too often for my liking. Here is a great restaurant that was decently priced and the food was amazing. In the first picture is La Tavola Trattoria located at 1458 Hertel Ave (while enjoying a Moscow Mule). This is a smaller Italian restaurant with a warm feeling atmosphere, great service and amazing food. My friends and I very much enjoyed our meal however, one of my friends was not totally satisfied with his meal but did not complain to our waitress but simply expressed his slight concern with our table. Our waitress over herd and brought back a ginormous slice of cake for us to all share as an apology for the meal. Even though my friend was not that upset with the meal, it was a pleasant surprise and made the meal more memorable.
