A good restaurant recommendation?
Is a restaurant recommendation good if the poster says, "eat at X it was great" and yet the poster doesn't list anything about the meal or what they had?

Well, except for the wurst stand next to the ring near the Hilton Stadtpark, there I knew exactly what I ate!

I don't see why not. Many people are not necessarily very good on giving exact reasons why a restaurant or their food is good. How many people can articulate why they think a dish is well plated, or that the flavors complimented each other, or that service was attentive without being hovering? Some people just aren't as verbose as others.

My viewpoint is just the opposite. I want the particulars, if only to judge how that person thinks. Some viewpoints I would be inclined to respect and others I would be inclined politely to disregard. I want to know how a person reasons before I trust that person's judgment. And even then. . . .
