Yet, believe it or not, I just went to an upscale, omni restaurant the other day and was served- you guessed it, roasted veggies.

It's lazy and inconsiderate! Agreed; sometimes there's no reason to give a place a second chance. Running out of places to go is probably what fuels all of your inventive cooking creations; this is why I eat canned soup so often when I'm too lazy to go out.Abby Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03060920122127099172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710373573705518216.post-73480631151761401482014-06-05T01:17:02.351-07:002014-06-05T01:17:02.351-07:00Gutted - it really does look like a beautiful plac...Gutted - it really does look like a beautiful place.

I was not impressed. A meat eater who is all about farm to table was. I'm beginning to think I should only eat at vegan or ethnic restaurants. The place is pretty but the plating needs filling out and it's pricey. susannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710373573705518216.post-18741764800614945232014-06-02T13:47:22.262-07:002014-06-02T13:47:22.262-07:00Like Maud said, you do notice things that others m...Like Maud said, you do notice things that others might not notice, or dismiss as unimportant. The food looks appealing in your photos, and the setting seems nice, but I know how a restaurant that just doesn't measure up to expectations can go on the "never again" list. In a place like NYC, with so many options, it's easier to forget about places that push too many buttons than it is in smaller towns. Sometimes I'm so sick of the dining options here that I can't think of a single place to go!.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146578985330272891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710373573705518216.post-62208414332256049632014-06-02T07:47:43.285-07:002014-06-02T07:47:43.285-07:00I've always thought of doing a top 10, but it ...I've always thought of doing a top 10, but it would have to be dishes/items as opposed to overall experiences, I think.

You are very perceptive too - I'm not sure I would notice some of the problems you pointed out.<br />The steamed kale dish does sound appealing though.<br />Have you ever done a top 10 (or 5..) list of places you return to? I feel like I go to the same three or four places over and over, and even one of those is just eh.foodfeudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00589414740603993442noreply@blogger.com
