A good date night for me is dirty street tacos!  Normal restaurants can get stuffed! 

When we had a dartboard in the flat where we lived before moving to the house I missed the dartboard many times. So the wardrobe next to dartboard really suffered.

Service is almost non-existent everywhere these days. A pity they weren't real darts, one of those in the back would have gotten the waiter's attention pretty quickly. 

We don't go to restaurants much, far too much assfuckery as per your story above, and a yiros or fish and chips at the beach with the sun going down is better anyway. I don't know what businesses think is going to happen but not providing service will eventually push most people away. 

(Looks like my auto didn't fire.)

That's a bummer, and what a waste of a date night. The view certainly looks like a winner and the darts looks fun. Is this more of a sports bar type of restaurant rather than a date night one?

I'm sure there must be nice restaurants for night out, you just haven't found them yet. Please give up yet, it's important to spend quality time together with Mrs TK every now and then. Hope your next date will be more successful.

Something tells me your wife picked the place. I recall you complaining about a bad dining experience in Tampere before.

Was her intention to go for a fine dining experience? If so, I suggest it would be worthwhile to do some research beforehand. It would be a great idea regardless of the plan.

She isn't much of a restaurant picker, it seems. I believe the risk of a disappointing experience is higher than usual in a place like Periscope. People come for "the view" and get ripped off. Note that I have never been to the place so I can't really know if it's actually a bad place. Just saying the risk is greater in a place like that.

If the view was something you really cared about, Näsinneula would've been a better choice. About 140 m above ground level, the view is unsurpassed by anything within >100 km radius. And it's widely considered to be a pretty good restaurant.

Consider Ravinteli Huber:

https://www.ravintelihuber.fi/en/

The website looks promising for meat lover. It's a little bit on the expensive side but not too much. Come to think of it, it's actually quite reasonable. A cheese burger for €12, probably a small one as it's listed among things like portobello and pistachios (€12), Huber's sausage and mustard (€4), grilled bone marrow (€5).

Not only do I trust what I prepare myself. Restaurants this days cook more unhealthy meal for profit. They have more less experienced chef. I prefer the bar to the restaurant 

J doesn't like going out to eat either but it's mostly because he's a grumpy old fart and a massive tightarse more than anything else.

Meanwhile I guess I have much lower standards and very little idea.

How's your wife now, recovered from the ordeal?

Hope she gets better today.
I agree with you about dining out. I rather enjoy going to the movies, visiting an expo or just get lost in areas of the city we have not been before.
With all the regulatory requirements and costs, managing a restaurant is not easy and it is almost impossible to find any with a good quality/price ratio.

Spending time at home can be both better quality and more economical than spending time outside. Of course, sometimes you need to go out. For the sake of being different. Sometimes the food outside affects me too. I can't say that I prefer eating outside.

Expensive burger. For $25, my wife and son and I order several portions of salmon rolls, tom yum soup and drinks at the Marumi restaurant. But now it’s better to spend this money wisely, and cook something tasty and inexpensive at home.

I don't prefer eating out, partucilarly in a restaurant for a fews years if I am not obliged because it has kinda been turned into robbing rather than meal and service.
