Because it's always Fridays at TGI Friday's Restaurant and Bar, whatever you do or eat there will always be in a fun atmosphere. That is the guarantee of General Manager, Norda Greene.
This fun and relaxed atmosphere is reflected in the décor and extends to the attire of the waitresses. Green explained that the various 'characters' they portray are an extension of that individual's personality.
With the capacity to accommodate 105 of your closest friends, it's a favourite for birthdays and all forms of celebrations. If someone in the house is having a birthday you will know by the ringing of the bell. If it's yours, then you will have the privilege of being serenaded by members of staff with some pretty unconventional birthday songs. If you want more excitement, pots and pans can be brought into play and even the fire hose.
This their second year in The Gleaner-sponsored Kingston Restaurant Week (KRW), the fact that they are in the Savoury category is to further dispel the belief that it is expensive. Green reiterates that there are items on the menu that are extremely affordable. There is also a lunch menu with drastically-reduced prices. So, this is your perfect opportunity to make it Fridays every day for a week at TGI Friday's
