Geelong is the second largest city in Victoria and is located just 75 km's south west of the state's capital, Melbourne. It is sited on Corio Bay and has a population in excess of 160,000 people. There are a lot of restaurants in Geelong that you can choose from, and approximately 80 percent of the new restaurants failing in the first three years; it's no wonder restaurant diners are having a hard time choosing where to dine that will satisfy their tastes. Almost all of us for sure don't prefer to come back to the restaurant that did not fulfill our sense of taste; instead, people will keep on searching for the best restaurant in town. This practice becomes especially tricky when attempting to choose a fine dining restaurant where the preparation and quality of food is to be taken into consideration along with the decor, atmosphere, and service. Here are some guides that you might want to consider in choosing the best restaurant in Geelong: 1. Menu. You can ask for menus to be sent to you, or look them up online or it is best to view them on notice boards outside the venue. It would also help when you ask people, a friend or relatives perhaps, who have already been at the certain restaurant you are researching. Another way to find out is to read restaurant guides and reviews (which can be easily looked up online). It's also an effective thought to determine the wine listing to ensure if there's a fine choice that blends with the dishes on the menu. Good food on its own is not enough to attract and retain customers if the restaurant rates badly in other key areas. 2. Service. The rate and excellence of service is an additional major thing in choosing a restaurant. Staff should be friendly, polite, helpful, not too intrusive and not too slow with taking orders. They should welcome guests right away on arrival and also be checking with clientele when the food has come out that the whole thing is okay. The staff should be well-informed about the food and drinks they are serving. 3. Sanitation. Cleanliness also ranks highly as a deciding factor. That means the whole thing from the glasses, kitchen, cutlery, crockery, floors, staff and toilets. Unclean restaurants not only put customers off but can also pose a genuine health danger. 4. Ambiance. The atmosphere of the place will surely make an impact in your dining experience. Venues array from comfy and pleasant to elegant and dazzling. Some have live music, others have recorded music and some have nothing at all. Also take into regard whether children are catered for. 5. Fee. The price of your meal is apparently significant, but only you can settle on what your budget limit is and if you think the restaurant gives you value for the money spend. 6. Facilities. Facilities offered by the restaurant matter to varying degrees to different people. For some, a facility such as disabled access or catering for special allergies will be high on the list whereas for others it would not be. You should consider whether it has a spacious car park or if you can park easily at the restaurant or somewhere nearby. It is also perfect to verify whether you can or should reserve in advance and whether service charge is added to your bill to keep away from any spiteful surprises later on. Since Geelong has a lot of different restaurants, following the guides above will surely result to finding the best restaurant in town.
