If I were dining at my favorite restaurant and walked in to this obscene display in the lobby I may have just walked out. A reader snapped the picture above upon entering his favorite restaurant. Congratulations, restaurant which I will not name for winning the Diner's Choice Award. However, was it really necessary to ruin your chic atmosphere by asking your diners to vote for you on Facebook and Twitter?
Maybe I'm a more traditional type of gal, but I like to enter a restaurant or a store or any public place for that matter and enjoy the decor of my surroundings. I know that if I walk in somewhere and the walls are covered in mosiac tiles and sleek mirrors I'm most likely in for a treat. Restaurants that take pride in their appearance most likely take pride in their food. Dining out is about more than just eating. It's about the atmosphere and the ambiance. Tell me really, does it turn you on when you walk into a place with a wall covered in Facebook and Twitter? I think not.
