"I wanted to like it" poor restaurant reviews
Really. Why must you preface your review with this? I know that I usually go to places, hoping they have crappy food and are overpriced, and make me ill, too. Yes, sometimes we eat at places that we don't expect much and are pleasantly surprised, but even those I want to like. AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH. I can understand "I had high hopes for the place because of Chef X and was disappointed" but "I wanted to like it?"
Ok, rant over.
I hope you wanted to like this post.
