There are tasting menus… and then there's FK on St. Clair West. 11 courses from Frank & Shawn, caviar in an eggshell, and a team that's been with them 15 years. No wonder it's DiRōNA Awarded.

Salt and pepper in bowls instead of shakers.

Where should restaurants draw the line between presentation and practicality?

Why do so many restaurants serve cold drinks with no coaster?
Condensation pools on the table and drips onto guests. Our theory: owners rarely dine in their own establishments.
The fix? A simple paper or cork coaster.

Three rules we live by when hosting dinner:
1) Arrive early & quietly ask for the bill.
2) Never react to the pricey entrée.
3) Order the bottle of water.
Small touches, big impression. What would you add?

How often do you hand your keys to a stranger? At a restaurant with valet, we do it every time. It shows up right where parking's a nightmare, it's $15-20 well spent, and it makes the whole night feel VIP.

Two months sober, and dining out taught us this: a glass of syrup and juice is not a mocktail. Good non-alc gin, tequila, and beer exist — your restaurant may already have them, just not on the menu. Do you order non-alcoholic when you dine out?

At the best restaurants, we order one thing: the tasting menu. 6 to 8 bite-sized courses of the chef's very best.
Give it two hours — it's less a meal, more a journey.

Service pacing might be the most underrated part of dining out. Too slow, you're checking your watch. Too fast, the next course lands before you've taken a sip. A great meal moves at YOUR pace — not the restaurant's.
