I am not a professional restaurant reviewer, don’t visit multiple times, take notes or go incognito. I write up reviews simply because I enjoyed the experience and want to share with my readers. It is purely my impression of the experience I had along with photos I snap of the meal and a description of what I enjoyed while dining. I believe that the glass is half full and wish to remain positive, thus the majority of the reviews will not focus on the negative. If I have a complete negative experience, I will typically not include that experience on the blog.
I have created a "Restaurant Club" with a few friends. The premise is that we choose a restaurant that none of us have ever experienced. We rotate who makes the selection and that person also pays for lunch. We then rotate around the group. It is a fun way to try new restaurants, catch up with friends and experience all that the Bay Area has to offer.
