I still say you go for the topless waitresses.

1. Valet Parking
2. Elegant host or hostess
3. World class food.
4. Ditto for the wine list. And waiters should know their wines.
5. Waiters should know how every dish and drink is prepared.
6. Patrons should never pour their own drinks, make sure your waiters are on the lookout for people with half empty wine glasses.
7. If smoking is allowed, patrons should never light their own cigars / cigarretes. And ash trays should be changed regularly.
8. As you know Colin, some foods are prepared in front of the patrons. Cesars salad for example. Make sure they know how to do it.
9. Have enough food in stock you never say: "I'm sorry, we're out of...".
10. As henk said, have a taxi service ready.

You'll notice I mention waters a lot, that's becuase they provide the service dirrectly to your customers. If I remember more things I'll post em'.

1: A courtesy bus to take people home if they're pissed (Its been implemented very succesfully at local pubs)
2: A relaxed atmosphere where you should not feel you have to make every move perfectly, and not be afraid to have a good loud laugh.
3: If any music, a free jukebox, so everyone can have a time of listening to the music they like.
4: Friendly but unobtrustive waiters, who will be extremely patient.
5: Average waiting times on the menu for each meal.
6: Not having to pay if you are genuinely unsatisfied with your meal.
7: Not charging more for a glass of say, coke, than a bottle of it would cost in a supermarket.
8: Complimentary snacks before a meal.

I think thats about it, and thats not even mentioning reasonable prices for well presented, bang for buck, food.

Just make sure you don't serve any of that pretentious overpriced bite-size sauce-drizzled crap that seems to be served often at "nice" restaurants. When I go out to eat, regardless of how fancy, I want to be full when I leave.

But you're Texan - I'm assuming you know how to dish out the obscenely huge proportions.
