Your line "All I can do is spread a little sunshine, or very occasionally hurt someone’s feelings," hits the mark perfectly.Mikehttp://www.foodservicenews.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19214002.post-8529001200270511502009-11-23T09:38:15.741-08:002009-11-23T09:38:15.741-08:00Thanks nyrestaurantfoodie, but for the record, I d...Thanks nyrestaurantfoodie, but for the record, I didn’t order at Oceana.

You rank among the top tiers in my book, and your thoughtful commentary often means more than someone who's criticizing for a medium that dictates the critics point of view. You are objective, and you know how to order (I think the scallop sashimi at Oceana is one of the best dishes I've had in a long time! Super simple, reliant upon perfect seafood, and shockingly delicious!).

And fun too....I particularly like food reviews which actually have a little of the writers personality in them....<br />And quite often, a decent review of yours has put me at that restaurant far quicker than the Times reviews which I tend to read rather cynically.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07820194872584813810noreply@blogger.com
