Example: I'm so tired of saying \""This restaurant USED TO BE....\"" great, good, my favorite...blah, blah.  It's happening more and more often, especially for locals.  One problem with living in such a busy tourist destination, is that , when a restaurant goes downhill, no one seems to care because some unsuspecting tourist (and non-Yelper), strolls by , looks at a menu and goes in. Hook!  We have been there at least a dozen times and thoroughly enjoyed the food...until tonight.\n\nWe were seated promptly; we had reservations. We did notice, however, the lack of any discernible 'crowd', which is unusual for this restaurant. It 'used to be' very popular and always crowded. Not tonight, a bad sign for 7:15 on a Saturday night.  \n\nThey now offer special nightly pastas, and of course, my favorite, spaghetti ala carbonara, which 'used to be' exceptional here, was not offered on Saturday. My husband and I ordered the Genova  salad (whatever that is) to split.  The proportion of vinegar to oil was overwhelmingly off, so much so that I didn't finish it. It came promptly, along with our bread and our cocktails. Wow...good service?  I would like to have enjoyed at least a sip of my drink first! Our waiter pressed us for our entree order and we said we hadn't decided yet...he looked annoyed, left, but then circled like a vulture for the next 20 minutes.  We finally had to call him back, once we were ready; he never came back to check. It was like he was purposely waiting for us to have to ask. I inquired if the chef might consider making the carbonara, even though it was not scheduled for that night and was immediately told 'no', never offering to check, so I settled on the fusilli with pesto. (For those of you who cook, you know that carbonara is pretty much a no-brainer to make and every professional Italian kitchen would have the ingredients on hand any night.)  My husband ordered spaghetti and meatballs.  I tried his as soon as it arrived and the meatballs were decent and there were four, a generous portion.  My fusilli, however, was tasteless and boring.....no seasoning and very bland.  The pesto was dry and there seemed to be no salt on anything.  I had my husband try it, since I like things well-seasoned  but he shared my opinion. By then, I was so annoyed and just wanted the meal to end.  We didn't even take our leftovers, which for us, is unheard of.  Bottom line, they are closing for a couple of months for a renovation (please renovate the chef, too!) but don't bother....if you like good Italian food, you're sure to be disappointed.

Example: This is one of my favorite Thai spots in Charlotte. The green curry is delish, as is the mango and sticky rice when in season. I like to judge a place by their pad thai, which is my staple, and I give them a 4/5. The one subtracted point is because the chicken and shrimp in my last pt tasted like they were boiled and added last...they didn't taste like the rest of the dish. It wasn't bad but I've had better at Thai Taste. \n\nDefinitely worth going back again and again.

Example: This place is very tasty and the service is always friendly.  The prices aren't bad, either.\n\nThe downside is that the owner's son fancies himself a musician, so if you go there on the wrong night, you're treated to some pretty middling live music.  It's nice that they are supportive of him, but sometimes I just want to eat pizza and have a conversation with my friends.  If the band is playing or setting up, you might wanna consider getting your pizza to go.
