ニューヨークステーキ 長住店 — Restaurant in Fukuoka

I have read other reviews, one of which says that there are “three parking lots” across the street. Actually there is only one lot, with perhaps three spaces. If those are filled, you can always park at Mr. Max. Another reviewer says (s)he is a fan from the old place. I am too. In fact it is interesting that the staff still wear T-shirts that read Park Diner, which was the name of the old place. We had gone once or twice while they were open in the old Noma Oike Daiei area. We had gone many times to their predecessor, which had boxes of potatoes piled beside the door (their fries were delicious), and DVDs of U2 concerts playing on huge screens. Hard for any restaurant to stay afloat on Noma Oike, however. That first place had some wooden blocks in the bathroom, arranged to read O-P-E-N. I couldn’t resist rearranging them to read N-O-P-E. Sorry, folks, I really liked the place. When they changed to Park Diner, we tried it, but they were doomed to failure due to the location. Their current location may be better. At least their “three parking lots” don’t short out the electronic key on my car. Some kind of curse on Noma Oike, I guess. Sorry, but I can’t get used to the Japanese-style steak-swimming-in-bean-sprouts idea. I like my steaks medium well-done, on plates, but with those little bitty self-cookers, you can’t put enough pieces on there to cook for any length of time before it all cools down. They have an interesting poster on the wall. It’s a movie poster of “Joy in the Morning,” starring Richard Chamberlain and Yvette Mimieux (1965). Who can forget seeing Yvette Mimieux in “The Time Machine” when...

夫婦ふたりで行ったら席が幾つか空いてるにも関わらず｢すみません ただいま満席でして｣と堂々と嘘を吐く店員に夫婦でビックリと同時にドン引き。行ってみたかった店で急ぎもしてなかったので数十分 店内の椅子で待機。案内されて即 注文。その間に待たされていた ひとりの お客さんは耐えれず帰っていたのに｢ありがとうございました｣と掛け声...。色々と萎えてたせいか味とかも どうでも良くなった。ただ肉の質は多分 良かったと思う。ホールに立つ人間なら まず言葉遣いやマナーなど しっかりした方がいいのでは??席が空いてるのに満席は流石に無い。店側の回せない状況は客には関係ない。せめて｢提供までに お時間いただきますが宜しいでしょうか｣など言ってくれれば急いでない客からしたら大丈夫ですよとなる。お腹が空いた客なら...
