Restaurant Review
It was rainy, crowded and loud at the entrance, the smell of cigarette and rum filled
the air of the lobby area. It was Saturday night at the T.G.I.F in San Francisco, the Giant’s
were playing so the place was packed and fans were being loud. The restaurant is located on
a corner nearby Pier 39 and it almost has an Aspen look to it. The building itself is made of
bricks with big colorful windows and huge cherry finished wooden doors with brass handles.
Inside, the walls are cherry wood and covered with big mirrors and stuffed dear heads. The
tables and chairs are all dark wood with a very rich red color. The atmosphere inside almost
had an Irish pub feel to it, people were very happy and socializing loud, laughter filled the
air. Men argued about whose team was better, young people laughing at jokes and friends,
there were televisions tuned to sports.
The staff there were all clean cut and very down to earth but yet nice and helpful.
Although we were a party of 15 and the place was packed, the wait was only 15 minutes.
They sat us down and we had a waitress with us promptly to take our drink order. There

And with good reason! The sheer luxury of the property is overwhelming. The mansion has 34 beautifully decorated rooms that boast 15th through 19th century art and furnishings. While blending together harmoniously, there is nothing subtle about the elaborately carved furniture, voluminous drapes, ornate carvings, and the richly colored tiles. The intent is to convey the excesses of wealth, which it does, albeit with grace and elegance.
The journey back home was full of singing and celebrations of winning the tournament. Although it was the early afternoon that we arrived home, I was exhausted. The remainder of the day was spent telling everyone about the days gone past. Then life went back to normal.

All the shiny items to the back of the room caught my eye instantly because they appeared to look rich and prestigious. On the right of the big main entrance door in front, there was a silver tree, and on the opposite side of the room on the left side of the door, there was a gold tree. Money hangs on the tree, and I thought that was an interesting feature to have. As I looked around the room, I noticed the red carpet below me, and everyone was sitting on small rectangular pillows. The main speaker told me that pillows were located in the big container next to me, so I grabbed one and sat down. The...

I had a chance to visit this building and as I stood under the edge of the building looking upward I was amazed by the beauty and precision, and stunned by the size and splendor. Inside I could not get past the entrance and a guard told me I wasn’t allowed to take pictures. The interior with its light colored marble walls and double height ceiling is breathtaking, I stood there and I felt a tremble run through my body. I can honestly say this is one of my favorite buildings in New York.

... wait was and they said twenty-five minutes, so we put our name on the list. We were shocked; we thought that the wait would be a lot longer than twenty-five minutes. We went outside and sat on a bench in front of the restaurant while we waited. They finally called our name and we went inside. We ordered our food and made small talk while we waited.

In the beginning I thought some of the staff was standoffish, but after working with all individually I realize everyone has task they are trying to complete and time is limited to fraternize and build rapport in a busy setting.

Running a restaurant can be one of the most stressful jobs as well as the most fun and rewarding jobs. If the manager is a good leader with excellent leadership skills and has great followers the restaurant will be rewarded. If not the restaurant will plummet in sales and no one will be pleased. While developing a business. staff is important to running a successful restaurant, it is also essential that management focus on its public relations as well as its sales and marketing strategies.
After 15 minutes in B-Bop’s line, Mr. Johnson ordered, paid, and they went on their way home.
