Restaurant Review (Written)

Hello everyone! And Happy New Year!! Its already 2015! Can’t believe it! I thought 2014 has just begun but it’s over and now we have to move on to 2015… Do you guys have any big goals for 2015? Well for me, I am still thinking about it…lol

Anyways, for the first posting for this year is about the restaurant reviewing. We were assigned to read a restaurant review from an article written by the professionals and we had to analyze it. We were also needed to watch a video clip that is also about the restaurant reviewing except it was very different restaurant.

My group was given an article called Dirty French on the Lower East Side.

As you could see from the title of this article, the reviewer went to the restaurant called Dirty French which serves, of course, French cuisine. For physical surroundings, he says that there are two eight-foot-high neon signs in the color of pink. Since this is located inside the hotel called Ludlow Hotel, it is decorated with a few cheap items, like “a wall-length antique carnival mirror shipped from France.” Although he didn’t really talk about the waiters and waitresses, but he briefly explained that the mood is created when the server comes to them and says in a tone of “laid-back tone that anyone can manage.”

 He discussed different kind of dishes that he got and explained it with details. For example, he says that the dish called the mille-feuille is “a technical showstopper.” He described it like this: “an accordion of ribbon-thin king trumpet mushroom stems folded over and over. “ He says that it is a disorienting dish that will make our head spin in a good way because when he drag pastry-like food into a pool of green curry, he says that the dishes will change it into like Thailand.

He did not only discuss how the dishes were good but also he picks out some of the chef’s food that tripped into a wrong way and tasted it to excessive. He also gives some advice and suggests some new dishes in order to be a better restaurant.

In the end of this article, he says that this restaurant needs more time to grow its ideas if they are going to open three new original restaurants while refining their restaurant that they have right now.

I thought this was interesting to read and now I learned that how people review on the restaurants.
