"We\u2019ve all done it: At at nice restaurant for dinner, we check our phones, scouring Twitter, or texting, or peeking under the table for the latest scores.

He\u2019s giving customers a 5% discount to leave their phone at the door. \u201CWe\u2019re trying to create an ambience where you come in and really enjoy the experience and the food and the company,\u201D Gold said. The question is, will people really be willing to give up their phones at a restaurant to save a few bucks?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
