洛杉矶餐馆新主张:吃饭不玩手机 就给你打个折  

It's bee part of the restaurant table setting: knife
fork
napkin and cell phone.
Distracted dining is the new norm with customers constantly texting friends
eeting an Instagram photo of the meal they're about to chow down or emailing the boss. For many smart-phone users
it's hard just to focus on the meal and pany at hand.
Now
one restaurant in Los Angeles is giving diners a reason to turn off the digital world
by offering customers willing to check their phones at the door a 5-percent discount on their bill. Owner/chef Mark Gold of Eva Restaurant
located on Beverly Boulevard near N. Gardner Street
hopes this gives customers a way to truly sit back and relax
enjoy their meal and actually talk to with friends and family in-person.
现在，位于洛杉矶的一家餐厅给了食客们一个屏蔽数字世界的理由：给那些愿意把手机留给店家保管的人提供5%的折扣。这家Eva餐厅位于贝弗利大道，老板兼主厨Mark Gold希望这个措施可以让顾客们可以真正的坐在椅子上放松，享受他们的食物并真正与朋友和家人面对面的交流。
"For us
it's really not about people disrupting other guests. Eva is home
and we want to create that environment of home
and we want people to connect again
" he explained. "It's about o people sitting together and just connecting
without the distraction of a phone
and we're trying to create an ambience where you e in and really enjoy the experience and the food and the pany."
Gold said instating the suggestion reminds him to keep cell phone usage at bay
too. "I'm guilty of it as well. When [my wife and I] go to dinner it seems like the cell phone is part of the table setting now. Every table you look at
it's a wine glass
the silverware and the cell phone
" he joked.
The husband and wife team runs Eva
a 40-person space with European flair. Gold said a little less than half take advantage of the deal
and no one has gotten upset about it.
"I think once the server approaches the table and they're presented with the offer
they like the idea of actually talking to each other again
" he said.
