I am a believer that many great moments in life involve a balanced “Attack of the Senses”. Feel, Sight, Taste, Smell & Sound
Sure, it’s easy to create this environment on one of our cruises with your arm on the shoulder of your best friend while looking up at the stars & sipping your favorite drink, with the scent of the ocean air and your favorite song performed just twenty feet away from you.
But who can do it in the everyday world?
As a big fan of the restaurant “Houstons”, I keep trying to figure out why I prefer to eat there over many other places. The food is not the best, nor is it the cheapest or most expensive. My mom and I had lunch there on Saturday and it hit me. They “Attack the Senses”
FEEL – They use a great combination of brick and wood to create a sturdy foundation.
SIGHT – The lighting is perfect with an overall dark feel but with pin lights over each table. In most of them you actually can see the grill when you walk in with burgers, steaks, fish and ribs being prepared.
TASTE – The food is definitely good but not the best.
SMELL – If you don’t walk right past the grill and enjoy the scent coming from it, you are usually still within it’s reach.
SOUND – The music is always just the right volume but between the sizzle of the grill and the low rumble of conversation, it is the perfect background noise to prevent the awkward silences from being so noticeable.
Know any other establishments that “Attack the Senses” like this?
