Olive garbage Route 17 north Upper saddle river New Jersey. I ate there once it wasn't my favorite restaurant. I would suggest aldos and giannas

defnatley not olive garden , the restaurant seemed small it just isn't me.

Chez Bruce in London is one of the finest in the UK.

Three restaurants i won't go back to;

Fat Duck - Bray, outside London

Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester, London (His restaurant in Paris at the Plaza Athene being sublime - mind he was in the kitchen both times i've been there)

The Cliff in Barbados was terrible, the service being slightly worse than the food.

Cabaña Las Lilas in EZE.

Fully agree with Gaucho100K. There´re so many better, less touristic, and way down less expensive parrilas in BA.

Good guide to BAires restaurants ( in Spanish ): http://www.guiaoleo.com.ar/

Cabaña Las Lilas is rated 17/30 on food, 13/30 on service, 17/30 on ambiance and very good on the wine list

La Maison Blanche, Paris. This restaurant has mediocre food, is pretentious and for the money (or for less) there are so many nicer places to eat in Paris.

This restaurant is also used as a nightclub under the name "White Room" so it is very snobby and the food seems like an afterthought.

Todd English P.U.B., Crystals, Las Vegas

The MOST salty food I have ever encountered and just pure poor execution from food to service. Will not return, ever.

Jasmine, Bellagio, Las Vegas

The MOST expensively poor Cantonese cooking I have encountered (my local food court chinese, Manchu Wok, make better) with horrible service. My hosts were wanting to order more bottles of wine but no one was around to take their order. Will not go back.


Border Grill, Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas

Just really disappointing food at highly inflated prices (par for the course on the Strip) and terrible service again. Waiter never informed us that one of our drinks was not refillable but kept offering refills as if it were. Also not returning.

Another fine Chez: Chez Shea in the Public Market in Seattle.

On the negative side, it's not worth the pixels to beat up on most chain restaurants (as some do, hilariously, here... what do you expect for $3 at Wendy's?) but I'll say I really dislike Legal's. Poor service and cacophonous surroundings overshadow the fish whether it's good or not.

I'm not much for Peter Luger's either and its storied grumpy waiters disinterested in your preferences. And come on, it's the 21st century, take a damn credit card.

Todd English Anything is pretty dubious but not
necessarily to avoid at all costs.

Ed Debevics in Chicago.

I had heard about this from my brother and sister in law and thought it would be fun to visit and be made fun of, but we quickly realized that this is more for kids than anything else.

The food was fine, a bit over priced for what it was, but at least the portions were good.
