Default Works both ways

I also find this forum helpful to find a place to eat. More valuable than that, I used the forum to help provide direction to opening a new restaurant (not yet mentioned in this thread) in the LR. I opened to a packed house and within 30 days found the business having to turn away customers because we didn't have the seats available. The restaurant has now been open 105 days and is rated the #1 restaurant in the LR by UrbanSpoon.com. I credit this rapid climb to the very valuable input this forum shared with me. The forum input helped me squish some ideas I had and replaced them with ideas from the generous forum readers that took the time to share their input. I believe this is why UrbanSpoon has us at a 93% "like it" rate. A rate consistent to the results of our in house surveys and the posts about us here in the forum.
This is the third restaurant I have been involved in, and the first to pack the house so soon. THANKS!
