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

Answer: First clue: afternoon of the Final Four and this sports bar wasn't crowded. Second clue: in a group of 9 at least 3 people were asked for their drink orders multiple times. They ordered water. Forty-five minutes after arriving one of our group still hadn't received his food. Almost everyone else was done. He ordered a salad. Our waitress had disappeared by now. So one of our group got up and found another waitress and got the salad. 30 minutes later, when it was time to pay, we saw the waitress had exercised her menu-mentioned discretion to charge a 20% gratuity. Probably (and accurately) sensing she had no chance of making that much on her merits. There's nothing special about this sports bar unless you consider slow service and the usage of buffalo sauce to make things spicy as special. The TVs are old, none were on a HD feed, the service was lousy, the food was bad and overpriced. Money is better spent just a few doors down at My Big Fat Greek Express.

Answer: Axum happened to be my first real experience with Ethiopian food (previously I had it while going to school at an ethnic potluck dinner). I went here with a group of 8 - 10 people, one of which loved the place and was actually the one to suggest we go. When I walked it I immediately noticed that there was group of I am guessing Ethiopians sitting around the bar and no one else. The place did not look very prepared for serving restaurant patrons. So the menus come out and I guess since he had suggested the restaurant he decided to order for everyone, since he was familiar with the cuisine. I'm a little miffed at this point, but don't care enough to make a big deal about it. At least they ordered some vegetarian food. So when the food comes out, they have these huge platters with injera, the traditional Ethiopian bread, on the bottom and the food on top. I enjoyed the experience of eating with my hands and sharing, but the food was not that great and the atmosphere totally sucked. When we had finished our meal, the waitress mentioned that the restaurant was under new management and handed us some business cards. I'm guessing the change of management could account for the discrepancy between Keith A's review and mine. Either that or I'm just a picky asshole. It's probably the later.

Answer:
In a city where most chefs seem to want to oversalt everything, it is nice to finally have a well spiced meal. Everything was flavourful and well cooked. Siting ans watch them cook in the kitchen was a treat. The KD (okay, mac and cheese) was so tasty. And the boneless chicken thighs were great too. If we had to find fault it was the air conditioning that blew and cooled our food. And if that's the best I can do for a fault... you know this is a great place to eat.
