I would like to express my displeasure with the business model of Stone Grill restaurant. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the restaurant, i will take a minute to explain. Food is cooked on a hot stone. They place raw meat on the stone and serve the customer. The customer then has to attend to the meat as it cooks on the stone. I wish i could say it is any easy task and it would have probably avoided this thread. However, it was not, especially since the raw meat is 4-5 inches thick with loads and loads of fat. Why would any go to this place, if not by error. I mean for christ sakes why go to a restaurant to cook your own food? Doesnt it defeat the purpose of going out to eat? I want to know who is the freakin genius that came up with this business model!!! To make matters worse they tack on 10% service charge??? For what? The customer is the one that has to deal with the cooking and serving! Oh, and of course, lets not forget about the freakin steam that blows in your face from off the stone grill! The restaurant isnt bad enough and now i have to deal with smelling like a sizziling fajita. I am very annoyed at this restaurant and wont recommend it to anyone!

....ever been to a Korean restaurant? How about hot pot? It might be new to you, but some people like the idea of cooking their food, even in restaurants....

Chili- the korean restaurants are fine. I've had hot pot before and it is good. But this place is a complete joke.

I think we should go on a hunger strike...

Ok, I'm going to allow this sort of thread just once, given that its been started by a member who has posted other stuff before.

As a general rule, our forums are not a suitable location for reviewing places -- either positively or negatively, given that this can lead to a lot of abuse by shills.
