I think this restaurant forum provides a unique opportunity to get the good , bad and ugly and hope that people will continue to share their views as long as the hidden agendas can be sorted out( both good and bad reviews) If we only post good reviews then why bother reading at all. I have visited places based on reader feedback and avoided places where most say the experience was not great. Also i have seen resturant owners( who deeply care what people think )actually change based on the feedback in this forum. Also i would hope we can avoid the bashing that sometimes happens from one member to another. The internet is real and feedback on restaurants is all over the net but here it is in one place. Also I would tell a restaurant when i had a real problem but not when it is just not as good as usual. So from my view i would hope that we continue to give constructive feedback to the many great restaurants that we are blessed to have in this greatest place on earth.
