We tried a new restaurant yesterday

A new restaurant opened in the next town and we gave it a try yesterday. It has some good points and some not so good points!
The best part of the meal was the shrimp cocktail that we split. The shrimp were a nice size and the cocktail sauce had a lot of horseradish, which we loved! The rest of the meal had some ups and downs, but don't forget I am extremely picky about my food!
We would go back if only for the shrimp cocktail! No sense giving the name, since none of you live around here!
Do you return to certain restaurants for one particular item?

We go out to eat at least twice a week. We always went out even when we worked.

@BettyB We retired early to enjoy life and part of that for us is eating out. We have no other vices!!!

@AbbyGreenhill We rarely ate out when the boys were younger. We couldn't afford it. Now we stay home more out of habit than anything.

Those are nice sized ones. I remember a restaurant in Victoria, British Columbia Canada. We went back there every day just for the fish and chips. Devine!

@AbbyGreenhill to me it is. I know people have their specialties but I would thin that they would be able to make more than one thing appetizing.

Yes, I do. I usually sample the restaurant's best seller as well as its desserts. If those pass my taste test, I proceed to order other items from the menu.

@AbbyGreenhill Very small perch fishes, they go out with the boat early in the morning to get them. They are very good.

@AbbyGreenhill plus I hate risking it and then hating what I got, if they had a sample platter where I could pick 5 or something I'd do that

That's a good reason to go back. Sometimes places we like and are close to home have failed and then we're out of luck.
