The Week In User Reviews: No-See-Ums Will Eat You Alive

It was a pretty slow week in terms of user reviews. As usual, let's start with the ones that didn't make it onto the site. This review of Christine Lee's in Jupiter comes from a user in Port St. Lucie:

we are in need of your establishment in or near port saint lucie fl. we have hundreds of families here who are in need of a good chinese resturant who support you every day look into a community called tradition very new 3,000 families right on 95, lots of land available for more resturants
Sorry, but we're not Christine Lee's. Perhaps you should visit their website and let them know that you're clamoring for another branch of the restaurant in your neck of the woods. Here's another one, for Big Al's Steaks in Coconut Creek:
The Fried Twinkey is GOD above all other foods you must love the twinkey
This made us laugh. Not enough to get us to validate it though. And, finally, a review that did make it onto the site, for Hogfish Bar & Grill in Key West:
Arrived and had choice of indoor or outdoor seating. Since it was the first cooler day, we sat outside for the sunset and water view. Appetizer was conch fritters--six very small, very greasy fritters for 7.95. Salad was heart of lettuce with very good creamy garlic dressing. Ordered surf and turf special--ribs and crab legs. Food was served slightly warm. Ribs were dry, crab legs didn't taste fresh, and potato side was just so-so--tasted like it was out of a can. Bugs were EATING US ALIVE--no-see-ums! Halfway through dinner a few staff members mentioned that yes, they had been bad out there--why didn't you TELL us! We couldn't finish dinner fast enough, and are now covered with lots of very itchy bites.

It is doubtful we will be back, sorry to say.

Ugh. We feel for you; those no-see-ums are nasty little buggers. And prospective Hogfish diners, take heed: sit inside.
