Review Index
This is an index to all of the restaurant reviews that I’ve published on this blog.
It is worth stressing that most of these reviews are based on a single visit. Where I wrote up multiple reviews, the latest one is linked, and the rating reflects all of my visits to that restaurant.
There certainly were times when my rating reflected a disappointing experience, but I sensed the restaurant was capable of doing better. Likewise, I may have been irrationally exuberant about some restaurants, and perhaps some of them wouldn’t keep their high ratings if I visited again. Nevertheless, I usually stand by what I thought at the time—whatever my doubts may be.
It is also worth stressing that a low number of stars does not mean that I disliked the restuarant — the meaning of one star is “good.” A star rating is no substitute for reading the review, where I can describe in much more detail what I liked and disliked.
I have noted in brackets if there has been a significant change at the restaurant since I last dined there, or if such a change has been announced. Restaurants that are no longer open are listed at the end, as are restaurants that I wrote about without assigning a rating.
