After reading this article, I am still quite unsure myself as to what order I would put the four in. For myself being a foody, I feel as though the most important aspect is the food. This is what makes or breaks a restaurant, but who is to say that a restaurant with great food, bad service, bad ambience and ultimately high prices will not be successful. A lot of stipulations come into play when trying to figure out the exact order. To each restaurant it may vary, depending on the owner, the location and the clientele the business has. Price may play a substantial amount in poverished areas where people don't have as much disposable income as others. When looking at a complete restaurant and how we form our opinions of the restaurant, all four aspects come into play. And they all vary on what we perceive is important to us the customers. The author shows a great comparison when we relates the topic to The Beatles, giving each Beatle member a significant force that drove the success of the band. Who is to say that without Paul or with John that the Beatles are what they are today. Or even without Ringo and George, each plays a factor into what we know as the Beatles today. When you compare all the famous or well distinguished restaurant all over the world, it is hard to point out what drives the success for each and every business because it all depends on their situation. When looking at all these restaurants, it is easy to note that the food, the service, the price, and the ambience all make it into a great restaurant. There is not a leading factor, but all four factors combined is the end result of being a success business.
“and I know the food of any restaurant in the Hamptons will be inferior to my own meal at home". This was a quote from the article in question. The man talks about how to distinguish what is what and how will an establishment fair to the public. Ambience,Food,Price,Service. was how he described the "four basic elements" of dining (and in that order). However, I truly believe that service is what you ultimately want to experience when you go out to eat. However somethings are still situational. What I mean is it you are on the road traveling or late for a meeting and need to grab a quick bite. you are not worried by proper service or ambience, you want convenient food that is cheep and edible. However you might want to treat your self on a friday night to a nice meal. Does price take president over service, does the place have to be stunning to serve amazing food. Again this is all situational. The elements of dining can be summed up as Ambience,Food,Price,Service. But never do these element have to be in that order. I do you a certain Vietnamese place in a not so good part or the city. I don't got there because of the ambience and certainly not the service. I go their because it is a staple to that local community and they above all have mastered the food that the service. Unpretentious yet delicious.
