Cleanliness review insights for United States, Restaurants

$90 per person on a lunch buffet with terribly old and cold food even the slicing station with prime rib and ham where cold. The waitress had a dirty shirt that was bulging at the buttons makes it seem like they don’t care. Our bar order was a long one as the waitress said she didn’t know where the bartender went too. We have been here before and thought it would be a good place for Mother’s Day but not at all. I would not recommend this place and we will not be back

0 Stars - Earlier today, 2/9, around lunchtime, five coworkers and I went to L’amore Restaurant to celebrate a coworker’s birthday. What should have been a simple, happy lunch turned into one of the most horrifying dining experiences I’ve ever had. After taking only two bites of my cheese ravioli, I immediately noticed the texture was off. Then I felt it, a snap and crunch in my mouth. I spit the bite back onto my plate and was horrified to see half of a waterbug or large cockroach mixed in with my food. Using my fingers, I pulled what was still in my mouth out onto the plate and found roach legs, part of the head, and a visible antenna. I had already swallowed part of it. Yes. I ingested part of a waterbug. My coworkers inspected the plate and confirmed exactly what I feared. This wasn’t a mistake. It was absolutely a large waterbug. We immediately alerted the waiter. His response? He looked at the plate, then looked at me in a way that strongly suggested he believed we planted it ourselves. No concern. No apology. No “are you okay?” He simply grabbed the plate and walked away to the back. That reaction alone was almost as disturbing as the roach itself. We all stood up and left immediately, completely disgusted and unable to even consider eating anywhere else after what we had just experienced. Our coworker’s birthday celebration was completely ruined. And in hindsight, it all makes sense. When we first arrived, a worker was standing outside begging people to come in. Against our better judgment, we gave the place a chance. This is what we got. The irony? The bathroom was sparkling clean. Maybe the kitchen could use even half of that level of attention. If you’re thinking about eating here, do yourself a favor and stay far away. The sanitary conditions are clearly questionable, but even worse is the complete lack of accountability, professionalism, and basic care for customers. This place doesn’t just serve food, it serves disgust. Steer clear.

$$$$ + dining experience = only 3 stars Our first dining experience at Le Virtu left us a bit disappointed. The restaurant is part of the hot Passyunk Ave. scene. Luckily on a Sat. night we pulled up just as someone was leaving a metered spot. Otherwise expect to pay ($16) for valet parking. Inside, the dining space is very attractive. Great for a fun or romantic evening out. So the meal. The special "Easter pie" (like a quiche) was very good. The spaghetti with sweet and hot peppers would have been excellent if it was not so salty. The roasted lamb with polenta and broccoli rabe was okay but certainly not outstanding. And again, a bit too salty. The hostess and the waitstaff were friendly, but I was dismayed that our crumb-topped table was never wiped clean. Drinks were reasonably priced. However, with a four $$$$ rating, on this night Le Virtu did not deliver a memorable dining experience.

1.5 Pacific Catch Marina Trendy Marina District Great location, badly laid out No indoor seating; just outdoor seating with heaters This is the marina! By the time, the food gets to the table it is cold! Pluses: baja and steak tacos; tortillas were not hot Miso soup was not hot; it was very salty even for miso House water tasted like dish soap Table was dirty when we were seated by hostess Glassware was dirty Waitress made a mess of pouring the wine, including getting me wet Service was underwhelming DO NOT RECOMMEND

10 thumbs up for this Dallas Favorite! This is my all-time favorite spot in the city! Let's start with the dirty martini with hand stuffed blue cheese olives OR a savory glass of wine from their extensive selection. Next up - appetizers... Terillis' is the only place on the planet that you can get Italian Nachos called, "Italchos" (founder, Jeanie Terilli, invented them and they are remarkable!). You can't go wrong on this menu but take note of the specials. Chef Franky always has something delicious as a suprise. My favorites: the Noki, the seabass, jalapeno soup, and I never skip the house salad. The service is top notch, and the atmosphere is friendly and inviting. Terilli's is located on Lower Greenville Avenue which is a historic part of the city where there is always something going on. Whether you are a long time local or just passing through, don't miss this culinary and social experience! There's a reason they've been a Dallas favorite for over 30 years!

My husband and I generally stay out of big box chains since the pandemic but all the smaller sports bars were completely over run with soccer fans and we wanted somewhere out of the way to watch the USA match. Upon arrival things looked promising. There were a few open seats at the bar but not two together. However, all of the high tops along the edge of the bar were open but unfortunately we're dirty. We asked the host if we could sit at one and she said, "It looks like they're dirty ", and she went back to doodling on a notepad. We offered to wait but she didn't really acknowledge us. A second host came up and asked if we'd been helped. I explained we were waiting on one of the high tops to be cleaned. The first host looks up at the second one and says, "The high tops are dirty" and goes back to doodling and joking with host #2. A few minutes later, a 3rd host comes and asks if we've been helped. We explain again that we came to watch the game but their aren't two seats together at the bar but would take one of the high tops instead. He grabs a towel and heads toward the tables and starts to clear one but also asks the bartender if it's okay to put two chairs together. The bartender's response, "It's our job to make people happy, so go ahead!" We thought things were looking up. My husband ordered a beer and I asked about their sangria. He mentioned they were out of prosecco. Working in the industry, I mentioned I'd be okay to sub a splash of triple sec and soda in its place because a sangria sounded great. We thought we look at the menu while we waited on my drink but were a bit surprised at how limited the menu is these days. Neither of us had been to HR in many years. When nothing really tickled our fancy, we decided we just have 1 drink and find somewhere with some more interesting selection, no biggie. The problem came when I never got my drink, ever. The bartender's were busy due to the World Cup. We get it, but still. At least I did get a water while my husband had his beer. It coulda been worse. When we finally asked to cash out and said we were gonna pass on food, he couldn't find our tab and you could tell it was all coming together. He did offer to let us go without charging us for the beer but we asked that he ring it in so we could tip. Neither of us had cash. He was apologetic and very nice but at this point, the comedy of errors had already played out. This is the main reason we stay out of big box. Smaller establishments that have a name and pride to protect seem to go the extra mile.

First clue: Filthy menu How can this place get such high reviews? I ordered Penang Curry $19.95 . When asked “what protein?” I didn’t want one as I am vegetarian and I find no nutrition value or taste in tofu. But the waiter pushed the tofu in be by saying” crispy tofu” or whatever so I figured there be a few bits I could ignore and I would eat the vegetables. I got a huge pile of white rice plus a bowl of the Panang which was almost nothing but tofu. There were 3 slivers of green bell and a couple of red slivers. That was it. The sauce had flavor so I just ate sauce soaked rice .
