The food was delicious.
Complaint example
The food was terrible.

One food comment links the cost of a meal directly to disappointment with the dishes. Its wording shows how a guest may frame food criticism through the relationship between what was served and what was charged, rather than discussing taste or preparation alone. This is one illustrative account, not evidence of a broader pattern.

Evidence:

  • Food: percentage: 12.33%; reported praise percentage (denominator not supplied): 75.96%; sample reviews analyzed: 10,101
  • Illustrative food comment: Expensive considering the mediocrity of the dishes.

Service was excellent.
Complaint example
Service was terrible.

The illustrative comment describes a restaurant accommodating gluten-free needs and other allergies while keeping the menu simple and enjoyable. That language presents dietary support as a meaningful part of the guest’s experience, alongside the food itself. It reflects one reviewer’s account and does not establish how consistently such accommodation is available.

Evidence:

  • Service: percentage: 9.5%; reported praise percentage (denominator not supplied): 58.34%; sample reviews analyzed: 10,101
  • Illustrative service comment: Able to cater gluten free and support other allergies across a menu which is simple yet delicious.

Can't wait to go back!

Wait time appears as a defined theme in the analyzed review material. However, the available illustrative comment discusses a cozy dining room and advance reservations rather than an actual delay or waiting experience. The topic therefore raises a bounded question: what specific moments are guests describing when they mention waiting?

Evidence:

  • Wait time: percentage: 13.39%; reported praise percentage (denominator not supplied): 25.33%; sample reviews analyzed: 10,101
