A: For a high end name like Jean Georges, this restaurant is ridiculously amateur and low-class. The substandard food and questionable dimly-lit dining room do nothing to improve the eating experience. First, my girlfriend and I were poorly greeted by the two hostesses. When we approached them, one immediately asked, "Do you have reservations cause we aren't taking walk-ins you know" in a Paris Hilton-wannabe tone. I replied politely that I did with a smile. She rolled her eyes. The other hostess gave me a wimpy death stare that looked more like the face of indigestion than one of menace. The first hostess asked us to follow her into the dining room after confirming the name. She did not properly sit us down, e.g. failed to hand us our menus or pull out chairs, etc. If she knew anything about proper dining etiquette, she would not have stacked the menus on the plates like some ogre playing Jenga (tm). She abruptly walked away without saying a word. Nevertheless, I was determined to salvage this experience. Unfortunately as the evening marched on, I learned that it was not going to happen. Our food was sub-par. The foie gras was okay. The bread was heavily buttered. My plate was very greasy the moment I laid the bread piece down. Unfortunately, this made the already rich course even denser. The lobster caesar (a special request) was plain, but decent. My girlfriend and I ordered the New York and filet mignon respectively as our main courses. They were perfectly cooked, but UNBEARABLY SALTY to the point that they were inedible. When I complained about the entree to the waiter (slightly over-weight, 30-ish, and bald), he said, "I am sorry you feel that way" and walked away. I could have raised a storm and complained even further, but I decided it was not kosher to cause a scene. After drinks and dessert, my tab was ~$330 for 2 people. Now ask yourself this... would you pay that much for a watered-down version of a Jean Georges restaurant with poor food and service? If you crave for a Vongerichten restaurant, treat yourself to a flight to NY and eat there. ==== UPDATE ==== I received a message from a dummy account -- which might have been from an employee or someone related to the restaurant -- attempting to shoot down my review. Here's what he/she wrote: "The consistency of this review is totally inacurate. JG had never had a lobster caesar, and hostes don't present dinner menus either, the server does." -- Ramon L. I responded... "Before you claim a review is inaccurate, note that your experiences and opinions may be different from mine. In my case, the hostess planted our menus on our plate. Our waiter was not even prepared to greet us until a couple of minutes later as he was fussing with two other staff members near the back cashier. Even if the hostess was not trained to hand us our menus properly, this does not excuse her unprofessional demeanor during the entire greeting process. Also, the lobster caesar was a request -- it did the job, but it was not special or elevated. I edited the review to make a note of the 'special request' to avoid further confusion. Also, if you are questioning the validity of my review, I have photos on my cellphone ([two] of which are uploaded on Yelp!) and a credit card bill. ;)"
Q: negative

A: Tried to come here on St. Patrick's Day. They locked the door on us and we were ignored when we knocked on the door and tried to call. They were not closed because their was some people inside. My friends and I were not being drunk assholes nor are we cheap so I did not appreciate being treated like a low class citizen. They have good tacos but it is seriously just a taco joint, nothing special, and they should not act like they are above people. My friends and I will not be coming back here. The food is not worth it!
Problem: What would be an example of an negative (OPTIONS:
- negative
- positive) review?

Answer: Since the first one I wrote disappeared, I thought I would try again. First, I have to say that the food at Lo-Lo's is excellent. I've enjoyed the few times I've made it to the old location. Now on to the new one. First, the new chairs are very uncomfortable to sit in. When we were seated, they tried to put us in the bar area first. We were there early afternoon, and the rest of the place was not crowded. The music in the entire place is way too loud for a restaurant, and worse in the bar area. So I asked to be moved. I don't like having to shout at the people I've having a meal with. Our wait for the food was not too long. But getting someone's attention for anything was a bit hard. Turn the music down and tell your people they are not there to talk to each other. Also, when I mentioned the loud music I got an attitude from the server. I think if I need Lo-Lo's chicken again, I'll get it to go.

A:
J and I wanted to take my grandparents out to dinner Saturday night, as a thanks for all they have done to help us with the wedding planning. I give J the task on figuring out where to go, and he suggests Logan's or Cracker Barrel. I think, OOH there's a Famous Dave's there and Papa LOVES bbq. So, I throw that idea out there as well. But since the g-rents also like "southern home cookin", we went to Cracker Barrel. We arrive to find no host at the station and end up standing around for about 5 minutes with no one in sight. Finally, what looks like a manager, comes by and says....Someone will be with you shortly. Wow, really? Finally, the host arrives to his station, and we are escorted to a table. We wait for our server to come by the table. 10 minutes or so and still no server. Finally another server stops and asks us if we've been helped. J replies firmly, "No, we have not!" The server asks us for our drink order and comes back a few minutes later with our beverages. He says that "our server" was complaining about another table, or was complaining about another table complaining, so he was going to take our table. Okay, cool cause we're hungry. J orders the Meatloaf. I get the Chicken Fried Chicken with the gravy on the side. Grams orders the Grilled Chicken Tenders Dinner. And Papa orders the BBQ sandwich. We distract ourselves for the moment with that puzzle game while we wait for our biscuits and cornbread, which finally arrived with our meal. Grams dinner - She said everything tasted fine. Papa's dinner - His bbq sandwich was according to him (he does NOT hold back when it comes to his opinions, especially food) dry, stringy, tough, and under seasoned. I asked our server for a side of bbq sauce so he could eat. My dinner - The only thing decent was the Okra and the Apples. The Mac and Cheese had what looked like black plastic in it. After I got done picking it out and putting it on the side of my plate, it looked to be about 1/3 c of the black crap. I told J, "What the hell is this!?" J's dinner - The meatloaf was bone dry. The mashed potatoes and gravy were cold. Literally, the gravy was congealed. J was fed up, and he got up to seek out a manager. The manager came back and was combative with him. He said, the black stuff was cheese. REALLY?! Since when is cheese the consistency of melted plastic and black in color?! He offered to have our meals replaced. A few minutes later, our dinners come out. J says that it looks much better. I pick through the Mac and Cheese and find no black crap. Alright!! Let's chow! Not even 30seconds later, J's sitting there staring at his mashed potato loaded fork in front of his face. I look over and immediately start laughing. Its a HAIR! You've got to be kidding! The server comes by a few seconds later and says, "How's everything..." and stops mid sentence. He sees J staring at something on the fork. "Oh no, that's not good" our server says. He goes off to get the manager. I cant stop laughing. I cut into my chicken, and without looking take a bite. Hmmm, something was off. I look down and yeah, that's not chicken fried chicken. Its chicken fried steak, which I LOATHE. I just think tenderized meat tastes like its already been chewed. The manager comes by and apologizes for everything and says our dinner's are free (including my grandparents). You're Dayumn'ed right they better be free!! We do leave our server a tip, since the quality of our dinner was not in anyway his fault. Papa, without missing a beat says, "Well Lorraine, you want to come back and try breakfast here tomorrow?" Grams says, "Yeah, I don't think so." In a nutshell, we shoulda gone to Famous Daves.
