Creative / 'fluffed' restaurant descriptions...
Do the restaurant owners get to write the descriptions on the idine website? What establishment do you envision when you read the following?...
"XXXX is a take out and delivery family style spot with a casual ambiance. They serve an Italian cuisine with an emphasis on traditional and gourmet pizzas. They offer over twenty toppings. Other menu items include: dipping sauce, hot peppers, cheesesticks, breadsticks, chicken strips, ice cream and sodas."
No...it's not a neighborhood Italian restaurant...it's a Papa John's...
I gorge on pizza like anyone else...but c'mon...it's a carry-out pizza joint.

I wish Papa Johns was on my local iDine list! I wouldn't care if it called itself a 4* joint! It's miles that count! 
Sadly, my iDine list includes too few places of interest. Mr. 2411 & I topped off our NW FFF4 with separate checks @ a biker bar with a C/W band on the patio. We aren't C/W people, but the dude did a mighty fine Willy imitation.

A lot of the "restaurants"listed(using L.A and NOLA as the two examples I have searched)are really bars that serve some food.Wish this would be a seperate search function as I for one have no interest in eating in bars.
