Question: What are some things that you consider before choosing a restaurant to dine at?

Sample Answer (The AREA technique):

Answer: Some things that I consider before choosing a restaurant to dine at include the type of cuisine, the price range, the location, and the restaurant's reviews or ratings.

Reason: These factors can affect the quality of the dining experience and the overall satisfaction with the meal.

Example: For instance, if I'm in the mood for Italian food, I'll search for restaurants that specialize in Italian cuisine within my budget and located within a reasonable distance from me. Then, I'll check the reviews to ensure that the restaurant has good quality food and service.

Alternative: Other considerations can include the ambiance, the restaurant's dress code, the availability of reservations, and the restaurant's social responsibility practices, such as using sustainable ingredients or supporting local communities.
