Chino Latino

I can honestly say that I always have a good time at Chino Latino. I have grown so accustom to their food. It is always interesting to me when I come into a restaurant and the servers know you by name and are able to make recommendations as to what you would like to eat based on the things that you have enjoyed in the past. I think that this is probably the best tailored service I have received in along time. It just goes to show how much paying attention to details no matter how small can make a big difference in a person’s experience.
Based on the warm treatment that I received from this restaurant I was able to take away more than a full stomach and a “to-go� box. I was able to learn the importance of tailoring to you customers. The servers knew exactly what I would like because they took the time to engage with me enough to make a mental note of my preferences. I found that this can be useful in all types of professions for example when I finish with school I want to become a counselor. Base on my experience in this restaurant I know the impact that active listening will have on my client. It might make them more likely to continue therapy and it will make me more relatable. This will also aid me in building rapport and trust with my clients.
Another thing that I was able to take with me was what I refer to as the “just be nice� motto. Based on how nice all the servers were to me and my friends, I have learned that it is better to just be nice to people no matter the situation. I know that this will be useful when working with clients because this will make my job easier. If my clients see that I am truly there to help then they will be more likely to let their guard down.
Beside the professional tips that I was able to pick while at Chino Latino’s I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the energy the place had. Everyone seemed liked they shared one major goal of enjoyment and being in the presence of good company.
