[[File:Dine Out with Sim.png|left]] '''Restaurants''' are a feature in ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]'' that allows [[community lot]]s to have a real dining service. Eating at a restaurant is an alternative way to fulfill the [[hunger]] [[motive]] while on community lots.

Restaurants can only operate on community lots. [[Downtown (The Sims 2)|Downtown]] has many premade restaurants. If ''Open for Business'' is installed, [[Bluewater Village]] also has one.

The player can also have the Sims try to skip out on the bill, but they must avoid the host's sight for one Sim hour. The host will chase the Sims that are trying to skip if there are no customers that they need tending to. If the Sims are caught, they will be scolded and will be forced to pay the bill. The host can detect runaway Sims within a 3-tile distance, which means they can spot Sims even if they're hiding in a restroom, if they are too close to the door. Sims may have a better chance of escaping if they own a [[car]], in which they can simply drive off the lot rather than waiting for the [[taxi]]. With ''Bon Voyage'' or later, Sims can also simply [[walking|walk off the lot]], which is also faster than a taxi.

Sims can have some benefits if they befriend the host or server. If Sims are friends with the host, he or she will be likely to comp their bill, partially or wholly. On the other hand, being friends with the server has no direct benefits. However, if Sims have a low relationship with the servers, they'll be more likely to drop the food tray, which will leave a negative memory and lower dating and outing score.

A Sim who eats at many restaurants may be given a Coupon for a Free Meal in the mail. The next time a Sim eats out at a restaurant, the option to use the coupon will be available from the host or podium. If Sims are eating as a group, any member of the group can use the coupon.

In ''[[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage]]'', there are several lots and [[hotel]]s that contain restaurant objects for dining service while on vacation. This includes [[Three Lakes Plaza]] and [[Twikkii Beach Hotel]]. Restaurants in hotels have a few differences from restaurants elsewhere: Sims cannot skip out on the bill, and only tables that are in the same room as the podium are used for dining. Restaurant features are not carried forward into ''Bon Voyage''. Therefore, if ''[[Nightlife]]'' is not installed, the room will just be empty with tables.

Restaurants do not appear in the game and must be placed from the Gallery or built on an empty lot. When a Sim enters the lot, it will have randomized NPCs serving as host, waiter and chef . However, when a Sim who owns a restaurant enters it, they can take full control over many aspects of running it.

Restaurants act as they did in ''The Sims 2''. Players can see inside the building, and Sims that have entered can be seen and directed. Sims must enter and go to the Host Station, after which the Host will direct them to a nearby table with at least one chair. Groups of Sims, such as ones on a date, on an outing with friends or on a [[Club (The Sims 4: Get Together)|Club]] gathering, can be placed together at the same table.

Each restaurant has a rating of 1 to 5 stars, and each star can help gain more customers and more pay. The only way of getting the stars to go up is by making the restaurants customers feel happy.

[[File: Restaurant Critic.png|thumb|261x261px|A restaurant critic.]]Restaurant critics are NPC Sims, who visit restaurants every so often after it reaches 3 stars. Restaurant critics will come in to the restaurant like any normal customer, but their review at the end of the day will greatly effect the restaurants rating.

Getting a good review can be gained by impressing the restaurant critic, whom are affected by the employees, decorations, and overall food quality. Owners can interact with them in many ways to make them feel special, such as offering free desserts, or by selecting the "Prioritise Table" interaction on the restaurant critic's table, which will make the waiters and chef work faster to deliver whatever order the critic on the table wants.
