| About: | T.G.I. Friday's, the first American casual dining chain, is a dining experience that has become the favorite pastime of millions since 1965. The first T.G.I. Friday's was located at First Avenue and 63rd Street in New York City and featured red and white stripes, a blue exterior and its name -- T.G.I. Friday's. Inside were wooden floors, Tiffany lamps, bentwood chairs and striped tablecloths. The bar area, with its brass rails and stained glass, contributed to the ambiance. For T.G.I. Friday's interior decor, a full time antique "picker" traveled extensively to auctions and flea markets. Memorabilia had to be authentic and, if possible, unique to the area where the new restaurant would be located. In a Nashville warehouse, this "clutter" was restored before being loaded on a truck bound for the next T.G.I. Friday's opening. The New York T.G.I. Friday's enjoyed an immediate and spectacular success. First year revenues totaled $1 million. This restaurant on Manhattan's Upper East Side had become THE meeting place for single adults. In fact, according to Newsweek and The Saturday Evening Post, the opening of T.G.I. Friday's heralded the dawn of the singles age. By 1972, the restaurant as we know it today was taking everyone by storm. By 1975, there were ten T.G.I. Friday's restaurants in eight states. As of June 30 there are 609 in 52 countries! As the guests have changed, so has Friday's. The company has grown and the guests have matured. Now many of them bring their children with them when they dine at T.G.I Friday's and, T.G.I. Friday's still offers an unsurpassed menu selection of food prepared to perfection, served in a lively, engaging atmosphere. |

User Rating: 5 out of 5 starsWe ate at the one located inside Pittsburgh airport. I never thought of them for breakfast. We had a long wait for our flight, so we tried them. We got the basic breakfast. Eggs, bacon, home fries and toast. The home fries were excellent. Golden crispy brown on the outside, yet tender and melted in your mouth. The service was great. I will go there for breakfast again.
User Rating: 4 out of 5 starsa favorite...but...: My husband and I frequent TGIFs often. The sesame Jack strips are awesome and the spinach dip is the best anywhere in town. However...the restaurant is way too small, made worse by the fact that they attempt to crowd in as many ppl as they can, by law. The flooring is brick-style, making the chairs wobbly. The noise level is exhausting. You find yourself shouting just to speak to the person across the table from you. Some definite improvements could be made, in my opinion, at least to seating, noise level, layout, etc. The food...don't change a thing! If you can deal with the ambiance or lack thereof, it's worth a trip!
User Rating: 4 out of 5 starsNew Moon Fusion Restaurant -- Elegant Asian-Fusion: I ate lunch here June 7, 2006. The decor is crisp, uncluttered, and clean. The service was attentive but a little bit slow (especially for lunch), and the prices were a little bit high, but the food was outstanding. I tried a "Box" special, including Crispy Honey Walnut Shrimp (lightly battered; so good!), California roll, and spring rolls. A "Box" is the perfect choice for those unable to make up their minds what they want! The food was plentiful and very tasty.
