It takes extra effort to dine out when it’s raining. However, it’s an excuse to get dressed up, it’s cozy and romantic, and you’ll get better table service.
When it’s raining, the last thing we feel like doing is going outside to clear the letterbox, let alone venturing out for dinner. However, certain advantages exist for dining out on rainy evenings that you don’t get on clear days. It’s the perfect excuse for getting out of your pajamas, there’s nothing quite as romantic as a candlelit dinner when the windows are all steamed up, and you won’t have to fight quite as hard for a table or a car park.
A Good Excuse for Getting Dressed Up
Dining out when it’s raining is a good reason to get out of your pajamas. I know it’s enticing to stay indoors dressed in nothing as comfortable as pajamas or trackies and an oversized sweater. Yet, it can be just as rewarding to get dressed up. If you are like me and have more clothes than you need, it’s an excellent excuse to wear some of those items that have been relegated to the back of the wardrobe.
During the winter, clothes can get mold spots if they are not aired out properly, so dining out during the rainier months can ensure that the clothes in your wardrobe get a good airing out. And don’t be discouraged by wearing an oversized rain jacket over the top of your clothes, as most restaurants have room to store your wet weather gear.
When it rains, candlelit dinners are more romantic.
Candlelit meals are fantastic. The candlelight and its warmth are even more beautiful when it’s pouring. When you dine out when it’s raining, the extra effort feels more rewarding and makes one more appreciative of the dining experience.
When it’s raining out, you are more likely to make the most of your time out because the possibility of getting wet is a deterrent. In addition, a more extended dining experience can produce a more meaningful and memorable experience. Date nights are also nights that shouldn’t be missed, raining or not. The extra effort is unlikely to go unnoticed or unappreciated.
It’s Easier to get Good Restaurant Service When it’s Raining.
Rain deters many diners, so you are more likely to get a table and a good carpark on a rainy evening. Not only that, but service may improve with fewer diners.
During my last rainy night date, the waiting staff was able to anticipate our needs better, they came back more often to check that we were enjoying our meals, and we didn’t feel so rushed. You’ll also appreciate the greater chance of finding a carpark right outside the restaurant when it’s raining.
Dining Out on Rainy Nights
It takes extra effort to dine out when it’s raining. However, it makes the dining experience far more memorable.
