Spending money

My husband and I had a great night planned.  We were meeting friends we had not seen in a while out to dinner.  In our area in was "restaurant week" which means there is a list of participating restaurants with a certain menu and you pay a fixed price.  We decided to try a restaurant that the four of us had not been to before.  Well when we walked in we should of turned around a walked right back out.  They have a picture on their website that doesn't look like the same place or it is very old!  We decided to stay and try it,  what a mistake.  The food was awful, the service was awful, and the place was dirty. 
We love to go out to dinner but with three kids it doesn't happen as often as it should.  When we finally get a sitter for the kids and go out we expect to have a great experience.  The check finally came and it killed us to hand over any money to this so called restaurant.  We've learned our lesson not to go any where that we have not been before or recommended by someone else.
After leaving the restaurant we looked it up on the computer,  the reviews were horrible.  Note to self...check reviews before trying some place new!
