from person to person at the same restaurant.

I have been to most SteakHouses mentioned. On different days. In different years and during different times ( like busy CES times or slower summer times )

Almost every restaurant I could rate at times (from a scale of 1-5) as a 5 ,while other times as a 1.

How is that possible ??
One reason of course is each persons personal taste and preference. .......and other personal
experiences they compare it too.

For an example - I don't like my steak rare.  I usually ask for medium rare... But every time I went to Delmonico's the steak was always too rare , even when I asked for medium.
and I wasn't the only one with that problem.
So maybe if someone loves rare , they go to Delmonico's and for them it is the best steak ever.


Now because I never enjoyed my dining there , I haven't been there in years ........ so maybe things have changed .
Keep in mind , food is prepared by Chefs and the sous chefs ........ and they don't keep their jobs in one place forever
So years , maybe months , or even weeks later ........ because of a different Chef or sous chef
the steaks are prepared differently.

What is one opinion compared too ?  
I will admit , I may be a bit spoiled because I have had Kobe Beef in Japan.......nothing can ever compare to that
Also eating steaks in some of the most amazing places around the world ......tough act to follow.
Now lets say someone only had steaks at Outback Steak house ........although I think they are not bad at all , I mean it is a chain restaurant .
Then someone goes to a high end steak house in Vegas ...................and they are just blown away.

That happened to me at Wynn SW....... now remember I have had awesome steaks in my life.
It was my first time there . I was with a couple who are well known regulars to the restaurant.
I was blown away by the food , by the service ....... didn't even care about the atmosphere.
I thought finally a restaurant that is truly amazing ..... up to that point The Steakhouse at circus circus was one of my favorites.  

A few weeks later I am excited to recommend SW to my dinner date and I just go on and on about it ........ boy was I embarrassed . It was one of the worst experiences ever !!!

So how is that possible ?? well a few reasons .......first off , if you are known or a high roller you will be served the best of the best.
Also It can depend what day of the week you go to the restaurant.
Vegas doesn't raise cattle , meat is brought in not on a daily base........meat will taste different if coming straight off shipment or been standing in the kitchen/freezer for a few days

Is the restaurant super busy  , or not ?
Did chef ,sous chef or staff call in last minute sick ..... so now the restaurant is short on staff.
Was it even the same chef as the last time you were there ??

A restaurant runs out of certain cuts and get replacement cuts from other places that can't live up
to their reputation..........Yes that really happens .

There are really many reasons why experiences can be different.
While a restaurant should strive to keep their reputation and quality according to it's name.
In reality running a restaurant isn't an easy task.
While the restaurant may be trying it's best , it is just not possible........because so many factors are involved....... and at the end of the day they still need to make a profit

Hope this provides some insight to restaurants ......gosh how do I even know these things LOL LOL
