What are the best ways to make sure I don't get ripped off when I go to a restaurant?

1. Ask for a menu before you arrive and read it carefully.
2. Make sure that the prices on the menu match those in the window or advertised online.
3. Check with other people who have been to the restaurant, asking them about their experience.
4. Look at the quality of the food and check how fresh it looks.
5. Ask questions like "Do you accept credit cards?" and "How do I know if this is a fair price?"
6. If possible, try to look at the ingredients used in the dish.
7. Pay attention to the way your meal is being served.
8. Don't be afraid to ask to see the kitchen.
