STEP1 Talk about how you search for restaurants.
I usually search online when I look for a restaurant. I enter the type of food I want to eat and the neighborhood as the search terms. I get a bunch of restaurants in the search results. There are lots of restaurant reviews from people who visited earlier. There are also pictures of the menus and descriptions of the food. Often, there are also directions for the restaurants and contact info. It's easy to search for great restaurants using these Internet reviews.

STEP2 what are some things you consider when you choose a restaurant?
When passing judgment on restaurants, the way the food tastes is the most important factor. Diners want to eat at restaurants that serve mouth-watering food. The mood inside a restaurant is also important. A pleasant ambiance helps people enjoy the meal. I also take into account the quality of service at a restaurant. Friendly servers make me want to visit again. Finally, the price is also important. Even delicious food is of no use if the price is too steep.
