when dining out..we expect too much.. i mean the food(must be good) ..the services render by the waitresses/waiter and of course the ambiance of the restaurant itself..just curious i guess on "What is the one thing that you cannot stand when dining in a restaurant?"

Burned food is one I don't like, I've had burned toast, burned desert, etc. Usually when I point it out, they apologize and give me something free instead, but sometimes they just say, "Oh well." They should at least replace it with something that isn't burned and they shouldn't be serving something burned in the first place. They should see that it's burned, catch it before it gets to you. But I can't stand and don't tolerate food stuck on silverware. I had dried egg on a fork before and I had ordered pancakes, so they know it wasn't me. One place always just took stuff out of the dishwasher and threw it in their trays and gave it to the customers. I stopped going there. Also had a dirty cup from there one time. One thing, lack of cleanliness.

Hey vanities! I don't like when the service is not good! I don't like when the waiter or waitress doesn't do their job properly! I don't like it if they are rude or in a rush or take too long to bring the food because they are not paying attention and if you need something they ignore you. I can understand if the restaurant is extremely busy, but if it isn't and the service isn't good I get upset and don't feel that I want to give too good a tip. I feel that the staff has to earn the tip and not just expect it!

I cannot stand untidyness and unpolite staff. If I am dining in a restaurant I do expect to be served good food, in a clean environment and educated staff. I do like to have a pleasant environment and I do prefer silence than loud music or loud noise.

Hello vanities, I hate going to a restaurant and have to wait long to get a seat or to order. This kind of restaurant, I will only dine in once and never come back again. Whenever I choose a restaurant to dine in, I will look into certain aspects like the cleanliness, the attitude of the waiters, the food itself and how long it takes for us to get our food.
