Restaurant Reviews 

Fortunate I have been to have had the opportunity to visit restaurants in several states.  And it is interesting to note that -- as I have pointed out in my annual review of the top restaurants for the year -- whether there are regional or local differences in menus, decor, venue type or location, there are always four main attributes that will allow a particular restaurant to either stand out or slump below the others: food quality, plating/plate presentation, service and distractions (excessive noise level, sloppily attired or non-attentive wait staff, etc). Unfortunately, multiple visits are not usually possible before a review is written; it's more often than not a one-time shot at an experience that can be really awesome or simply awful...  rp
