Another month passed and it was only 1 month left till the wedding date.

Mei was in a bad mood this whole time and an old man walked into the restaurant looking around with raised brows.

It was a critic! or something...

ANYWAY!

Hiro didn't know, nobody knew, but despite Mei's bad mood, she served everyone with a smile, making small talk sometimes. She asked the old man what he would like and he asked her what she liked the most.

Unfortunately, he didn't phrase his question properly and he was dealing with Mei.

She said directly "The boss." the old man was stunned and laughed, she was confused and he coughed, clarifying "I meant, the dishes..." Mei blinked but wasn't embarrassed as she gave her recommendation.

The old man was suddenly in a good mood and smiled "I'll have those then, thank you. Good luck, young lady." she was touched and replied "You're a good person, grandpa." before walking away her bad mood alleviated slightly. The old man shook his head and chuckled, he looked around at the customers talking and laughing amongst themselves, he was a bit startled.

This restaurant felt so warm, but also extremely high-class! It was too strange, he couldn't put his finger on how it was possible, but strangely, he didn't dislike it!

Mei brought him his wine in a cup, it was the wine Hiro made himself, the old man tilted his head at the normal cup, usually restaurants made it all fancy! He shrugged it off and drank the wine, his eyes widened as he felt a burning in his throat, but it was so satisfying to drink!

He let out a happy breath and smiled "Young lady, your boss made this himself?" Mei smiled and said "Of course! What can't he do! He's the perfect man in every way..." the old man blinked and forgot who he was talking to...

The rest of the customers chuckled as they had made the same mistake in the past.

After Mei was finished her spiel about Hiro, she explained "The wine was made by the Boss, but it's just an Imitation of his late Grandfather, he has said himself that the wine is unable to compare with his grandfather's." the old man nodded and sighed, what a pity.

Mei left and came back to bring him his food while taking care of the other customers, the old man didn't ask her any questions relating to the boss anymore, he might be here all day if he asked the wrong question.

The old man was truly stunned at the quality and look of the dishes! They were amazing! Perhaps the most delicious food he had ever eaten in his life! Every dish was also paired excellently with the wine! He realized that the prices were too low!

He was about to voice this when the other customers gave him a glance that said 'Dude, keep it quiet! what if he raises the prices!' the old man swallowed his words back and nodded sagely, stroking his beard with a look that said 'I see, I see. I, the old man, will keep this secret.'

The other customers grinned and gave him a thumbs up.

The old man had almost forgotten he came here to give the place it's first rating! But really he was aggrieved, he couldn't find anything wrong with it! The interior was beautiful and clean, the exterior was well maintained and just as beautiful as the inside, and the lay out of the restaurant was innovative, having two floors with one as a balcony and windows to see the scenery outside!

He could only sigh at the beauty of the restaurant, if he had anything to mark off was the occasional spiel by the waitress, but it was also the charm of the business! It was professional and warm at the same time! This delicate balance was handled perfectly by the staff in the kitchen as well as the waitress!

He thanked Mei and left with a happy smiled, he couldn't wait to come back tomorrow! He heard that the menu changes at Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner! He was excited and started to write out his review when he got to his hotel room!

The following day, the old man was back and chatted with some customers in line. He had dark circles under his eyes, he stayed up all night to finish his review just so he could eat here all day. He even submitted it to the higher ups!

It should be a few days before it's published!

Sure enough!

A few days later

Hiro was taking a break and sitting in the restaurant with the customers as he read the review. They shouted over "Ey, Boss. What's it say?" "Yeah, Boss! Tell us!"

Hiro clicked his tongue at them and said "Spend more money and you'll find out." they all clicked their tongues and looked away, Hiro chuckled and said "This critic is probably a returning customer. It sounds like he never wants to leave!"

The old man, who was sitting right next to Hiro, choked on his wine. Everyone looked at him and started laughing, he was embarrassed and Hiro smiled "Hey, thanks!" The old man waved and said "No, thank you! I haven't eaten such good food in a long time!" Hiro grinned and said "Lunch is on the house!"

The customers cheered and Hiro added "Only one dish that I choose." they stopped and started boo'ing, Hiro laughed and ignored them as he walked into the kitchen.
