The Week In User Reviews: No More Name-Calling, Please
At MenuPages, our legions of users submit reviews regularly for their favorite (and often least favorite) restaurants. Some make it onto the website, others don't. Here, we'll go over the week's best and worst reviews.
The Smoking Rabbit is on the offensive. We can't say we've been inundated with reviews, but of the three that have come in, two were definite shills. An example:
WAS LOOKING FOR SOME WHERE DIFFERENT AND STUMBLED INTO A GREAT NEW RESTAURANT WHERE THE ATMOSPHERE IS COMFORTING ALONG WITH THE FOOD. GREAT MACK AND CHEESE AWESOME SCOLLOPS ,STEAK, SAUSAGES AND MORE. FRIENDS AND I HAD A GREAT TIME AND GREAT FOOD.Uh, no. Here's another winner, for Massimo's Restaurant Pizzeria:
The waiters were obnoxious and the owner was a degenerate as well as an Anti-semiteAnd that's it. Nothing else. That's a strong accusation to make without any sort of explanation. And you'd better believe that unsubstantiated remarks about owners' varying prejudices are going to be invalidated immediately.
And finally, we'll end on a positive note, with a review that came in just a couple hours ago for A-1 Thai Restaurant:
I lived right by A-1 Thai for a year, and I ordered take-out at least once in 10 days. The green chicken curry is really really good! I find the Thai places around here generally to be much pricier than the ones in Chicago, but this one isn't terrible. For a $12.00 green curry entree plus an extra rice, my hubby and I have plenty to eat for dinner. Highly recommend!We got a good idea about portion size, and we especially like the description of the restaurant. Thanks LovetoEat!The ambiance is a bit cluttered. It seems like they went on a thai antique collection frenzy and just brought everything to the restaurant! Service is decent and food is good. So no complaints here. :)
