I know it would never happen but I kinda wish the whole section would go the way of the dinosaur. Some even read like click bate.
Jmho
This is one of the only two sections I do read... Yes, I understand that some of the "reviews" are trolls and others just self-serving superlatives. However it is usually possible to discern both.

I have discovered many good restaurants simply by reading a negative review. As a contrarian, I find myself strangely compelled to find out just how bad it is. [Usually, it's pretty good.]

The first post in this thread made me want to try Wolfe's Tavern. As for the complaint: "...when needing to use the restroom... I had to walk through the dining room, interupting diners..." It made me wonder if the poster might have been a celebrity, or possibly just excessively large and flatulent. Certainly, the wait staff could navigate the tables so I can't see the problem. Anyway, I'm going over and see for myself. --Oh, and frankly. I don't care what type of (clean) glass they serve my drink in or if I get a table cloth. And if we're a menu short, I'm sure the wife will be happy to tell me what to order.
