Note the following example of rather non-descriptive text.

My husband and I went to our favorite Thai restaurant tonight. I had a green curry. Hubby had the pad thai.

Versus:

My husband and I went to our favorite Thai restaurant, Siam, in the art district tonight. It’s a cute place with a giant elephant fountain in the entryway and a decor straight out of “The King and I.” I tried the green curry with chicken and basil. Yummy. Hubby had the pad thai. He said it had “just the right amount of sweet peanut sauce and spicy chili.”

Clearly, the second paragraph is more entertaining and enjoyable to read.
