A tasting-menu expectation frames the food comment

Disappointing Dinner

The illustrative food comment describes plans for a tasting menu and one guest’s excitement about it. That language establishes anticipation around a specific dining format, but it does not describe the dishes, execution, or eventual experience. The broader food theme therefore provides context, while this individual account supports only the expectation present before the meal.

Evidence:

  • Food: percentage: 12.67%; reported praise percentage (denominator not supplied): 81.74%; sample reviews analyzed: 10,637
  • Illustrative food comment: We had planned on the tasting menu and she was very excited.

Service was excellent.
Complaint example
The service was terrible.

The service comment says the restaurant delivered an “above and beyond” standard while also characterizing the experience as slow. This creates a useful distinction between how service was regarded and how its pace was perceived within one account. The comment also mentions price and cleanliness, but those details do not expand what can be concluded about service itself.

Evidence:

  • Service: percentage: 9.86%; reported praise percentage (denominator not supplied): 61.25%; sample reviews analyzed: 10,637
  • Illustrative service comment: This restaurant is part of The Logan hotel, and although it lives up to the “above and beyond” service, and cleanliness of the Logan, the restaurant is over-priced and S-L-O-W.

Complaint example
Can't wait to go back!

The illustrative account describes an additional delay followed by notice that seated guests were still using the table and that the wait would continue. Its operationally relevant detail is the uncertainty surrounding when the table would become available. As one guest’s account, it clarifies the kind of experience captured by the wait-time theme without establishing how often it occurred.

Evidence:

  • Wait time: percentage: 12.91%; reported praise percentage (denominator not supplied): 26.93%; sample reviews analyzed: 10,637
  • Illustrative wait time comment: After five more minutes, he tells us that the guests are still using the table and are enjoying their meal- it will be a long wait.
