Aside from the high, often outrageous prices on food and drink

Everything is a concept.

But a concept doesn’t mean a thing without good food, good hospitality and genuine heart and soul that you can taste and feel in a space.

In the shell of a nut, other than the prices, this is the biggest problem with restaurants and bars lately. Especially new ones.

Let’s illustrate what I mean by this.

My wife and I spent a week in San Francisco last month.

We were excited to try a new restaurant we found on social media.

I don’t want to use actual quotes from articles I read about the place or get too specific about the ownership or menu. Because the point of this article isn’t to bash a particular establishment.

The one I’m using as an example just opened. I’m sure they mean well and certainly could be working out the initial kinks. So it would be unfair to publicly trash the place. I have no interest in seeing them fail.

When they asked, I let them know the food was underwhelming. I also gave them a lackluster review online. I don’t believe in not leaving reviews or sugarcoating them when you’re unhappy. Why have review…
