My review of 90% of the restaurants around the world (in 1 sentence)

There is no place like home!

Here here!

Sharky, after trying ALL restaurants in Boca area, we came to conclusion:
our food is better,
our wines are better,
our service is better,
our waiting time at home is smaller..

there are few etnic places we still go, but...we bring our own wine!
;)

Do restaurants actually let you bring your own wine?

Do restaurants actually let you bring your own wine?

so far, I've never seen restaurant with less than SUPERIOR wine list which would have a problem wiht it. They charge "corgage fee" which ranges between ZERO (when I know owners well enough) to $15.

I am a good customer, I always bring friends, they bring their friends, I support the establishments I like...

[sharky]

I suppose they won't mind if you have a relationship with them. I couldn't imagine bringing my own steak to a steakhouse. Although I do realize that is comparing apples to oranges!

[Serge]

Sharky,
you DO compare apples to oranges as some restaurants don't even have a wine license
;)

It is also cheaper to eat at home but the kids are always there....

I can share with you my old trick:
no goodies were served 'til kids went to bed...
