I have also had pretty good luck when I go to decent restaurants. I used to work in a restaurant so it is also a game to me. I try to take in what is going on around me, analyze the level of service, etc.
I usually also make an effort to order food that I do not like making at home or I just cannot make. There are sometimes that I will order something that I cook at home just to see how someone else would make it. It has helped me to improve the food I cook at home.
For example, I learned to use celery salt, white pepper, and a list of other spices that I would not have normally used if it was not for my experience of trying out restaurant food and being curious.
I appreciate the entertainment value of going out to dinner, even if the dinner does not meet my expectations.
