I usually aim for the oddest thing on the menu. <BR/><BR/>Claire, yes, if I have a truly horrible experience, I won't hesitate to say so, but usually I can find something good to say, too. The ones that are just "eh" I usually don't bother with. <BR/><BR/>Too bad about the Scotch Corner. Before I started blogging regularly I had a horrible, I mean truly awful, experience at The Black Pearl. Had I documented it, I probably would've gotten a similar response from all the people who love the place. But I will never go back there.Kitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16673726727402668186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30450596.post-49728149382377018792008-09-13T03:13:00.000-06:002008-09-13T03:13:00.000-06:00Some restaurants always seem to disappoint -- with...Some restaurants always seem to disappoint -- with something off-kilter somewhere along the line at each visit. Like you, if I make the wrong choice and order something that doesn't suit me but is well prepared, I don't fault the restaurant. <BR/><BR/>Early this year, we had truly dreadful food and service to match at Boulder's Scotch Corner. I described it in a blog post (http://culinary-colorado.blogspot.com/2008/01/one-is-enough-at-scotch-corner-pub.html). I am sure that the owners mustered regular customers, friends and family members to write defensive comments (mostly anonymous). I tried to answer them reasonably but figured the owners instead should have taken some of my comments as constructive criticism and shaped up. <BR/><BR/>Then, a few weeks later, the local newspaper's dining critic had some harsher words than usual (http://culinary-colorado.blogspot.com/2008/03/my-scotch-corner-report-vindicated.html). I felt vindicated, but that post too drew a lot of comments, defending the Scotch corner and largely lambasting me again.<BR/><BR/>I'm actually welcome such dialogue, even when visitors to the blog sharply take me to task, because I think that makes for lively interaction. IMHO, reading through the chain of comments to both posts is mildly entertaining.ClaireWalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09795226291784652838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30450596.post-50204576881280952702008-09-12T06:48:00.000-06:002008-09-12T06:48:00.000-06:00As I've become a better cook, I find it harder to ...As I've become a better cook, I find it harder to get a good meal in a restaurant. I usually think that I could have made it better myself and cheaper too. There are a couple of restaurants that never fail to wow me.Bettshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02266517579549649484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30450596.post-2261134062867543852008-09-12T03:42:00.000-06:002008-09-12T03:42:00.000-06:00KittLol seems to happen to me often something soun...Kitt<BR/><BR/>Lol seems to happen to me often something sounds wonderful on the menu and go for it and just as I get it see something come by me and go sigh thats what I wanted!.

I've given up ordering in restaurants, make Hubby do it instead. I always order "wrong".Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16258422495964985299noreply@blogger.com
