Problem: What would be an example of an negative review?

Answer: Cute restaurant, food mediocre and not authentic. I guess this place caters to gringo palates. We ordered samosas which were pretty good. the naan was a bit lacking in flavor. Myself and a companion who were familiar with Indian cuisine ordered the matar paneer and vegetable kofta. Food wasn't bad, but lacking in spice and deep traditional indian flavor. This was disappointing as we had specifically requested that our food be very spicy. The rest of our party ordered lamb korma and chicken tikka masala and were generally pleased as they liked their food on the milder side. The owner (who acted as our waiter) was stingy with the rice. He brought us one bowl for five people and gaped at us when we asked for more, mid dinner service. Not that we were being greedy, but this was like the size of a cereal bowl. (when most indian restaurants will give you a serving bowl) He then proceeded to bring us half a cereal bowl full of rice then said, "ok guys this is all we have." --REALLY. He then paced around the restaurant then glared at us until we left. I understand that we came about an hour before closing, which can be annoying for most restaurant staff, but there were also two other couples dining. Way to get your message across. I get it, you want us to get the f*ck out. Noted. So we quickly finished and left. Needless to say I will not be returning. I've had better Indian Food in the backwoods of North Carolina. Service was fast, food is ok in a pinch if you're desperate. But for me, Indian Curry Bowl is to Indian food as Taco Bell is to Mexican food.

Answer: This was my favorite restaurant for ten years. Then it changed hands, and the service and and quality deteriorated to the extent that I decided to never go back. However, today I received an apology letter from Texas which contained a $15 gift card. If this restaurant starts to receive favorable reviews on a consistent basis, I might try it again some day.

Answer:
Everything about our dinner here was perfect - the Prime rib and their signature dry aged New York Sirloin cooked to perfection. We also had sides whiched included, sauteed mushrooms and asparagus that complimented the meal perfectly. My wine selection consisted of a Chalone pinot noir which went very well with dinner. For desert, the creme brulee was sugar heaven. Our waiter was very attentive to our needs throughout the meal but did not rush us. I would definitely eat here again.
