Restaurant: Della Rosa's - ++
Location: The Avenues - Whitemarsh Maryland
Overall Rating: 4.9

Summary:
The food was served HOT and had very good flavor. The entrees arrived a little sooner than expected [before the appetizers were finished], but was not too rushed. The pricing is reasonable and the environment is very tasteful.

Restaurant: JW's Express - +
Location: Hamlet Shopping Center, Dover, Delaware
Overall Rating: 4.25

Summary:
The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgable - willing to make suggestions to help us make decisions on our orders. The food was served in a timely manner and was fresh and had good flavor. The french fries had a heavy raw potato taste, even though they seemed cooked through.

The dining area was a little too warm for comfort, but was acceptably clean in appearance and had no flies. The napkin dispenser at our table ran out before our meal was over, but the floors and tables were clean. The restroom needed a little attention but was not unacceptable.

Summary:
I finally ate somewhere that was not home ! Granted, it was only McDonald's, but I am happy to have the first offiial review! I ordered a Chicken "Ceasar" Salad Shaker with vinegrette dressing, small fries without salt, and a small coke.

The dining area was not in bad shape, however it could have used a little attention. The counters were wet near the soda fountain and the napkin dispensers were empty; some of the trash cans were well past full. The averaged category rating on establishment / appearance was 3 spoons.

We were greeted promptly and although I neglected to get the name of the employee, she was friendly and had the knowledge to use the register without fumbling. She remembered to give condimients and my fork; and remembered to ask which dressing type I wanted at the time she was taking my order. The averaged category rating on the staff got 5 spoons.

The food was average in quality and freshness, the fries could have been hotter but the lettuce and other ingredients in the salad were fresh in appearance. Personally I do not like eating my salad from a cup, but that does not affect the ratings. The averaged category rating on the food quality was 3.33 spoons.

The order was served promptly, however, my french fries came with salt, but not overly salted. The averaged rating on order accuracy was 3 spoons.
