I have been to TGI Fridays, (thank G-D it’s Friday). The first one was in San Francisco California and the second on in Tague, South Korea.
The one in San Francisco had a round bar on a stage with the tables on the lower floor surrounding the stage. The one in Tague was a normal looking cafe with tables, booths and a small bar in a corner.
We were seated quickly at each place. We were given our menus at that time. The place looked spotless. The room is decorated in ’fun’! Interesting things, (bikes, photos, old cameras..etc), hanging on the walls.
There drink menu is so large I’m not going to include it here but trust me when I tell you the drinks were served fast.
The server waited until we finished our drinks to ask what we would like to eat.
