RE: Elea (Rijswijk, Netherlands): A Tasteem Review
Oh my, I can tell right away this is not my kind of place. It seems a bit too fancy for my tastes. I am sure the food was amazing though. I think the biggest issue is though the food is great, my wife and I just wouldn't feel comfortable sitting there to enjoy it enough. I am more of a sawdust on the floor type guy I guess :) This was an awesome review and it looks like a very nice intimate place to visit for a date!
I don't know... I used to think the same thing as you... and the first time, I really felt out of place... but once you stop thinking about other people and just concentrate on your dinner partner and the food that you have in front of you it really gets quite comfortable! It helps if you also go to a place where the wait staff are nice, and not snobby if you don't know the ëtiquette!
See, I think that was part of our problem we tried a fancy place. The wait staff were pretty horrible and kind of made us feel like we didn't belong. Part of it is just the town though. I grew up with it so I am a little used to it. I just choose not to visit those kinds of places as much anymore.
