"The restaurant moment that always gets me" is discovering on the menu- an appetizer, a salad, a main dish - that is interesting and/or intriguging. Maybe something I would not fix at home, or something that represents the local culture or food, or something with ingredients that sound amazing. That is what I want to try.
Having had and counseled several restaurants in my career, I definitely know what you mean. When you're on the other side of the bar you tell yourself "if they do order things, it means they wanted to", but the line between wish and so.e sort of persuasive architecture is definitely thin.
“Persuasive architecture” is a good way to put it. Most of it never feels like persuasion when you’re building it, it just feels like good hospitality. It took me being on the other side of it to really see the distinction.
