Hi mr1drfl,
I think the reason that you see more volume about these restaurants is that their owners take an active part in the forum and address postings personally. There are a number of very good restaurants in the lakes region and some fairly poor ones. There are some establishments that seem not to care about what is written here. I personally have had some awful experiences with the local Common Man restaurants and I talked to their management and suggested that they monitor and respond to this forum. They have not. So...they will only get a bit of negative air play and then we all move on. Pepper and Nadia respond and I think that keeps their establishments in the customer eye and shows that they care.
My 2 cents.
