this might be your first negative review since becoming food editor. thank god. now if you'd just get the balls to shit talk a restaurant that wasn't McMenamins.
I won't point out the irony of a guy identifying himself as "*" criticizing someone for not having "the balls" to shit talk. I'll just say that I can recall at least one restaurant (Clementine's) that he gave a strongly negative review to.
I liked "there was a violence to it," as a descriptor. You know, I often wonder if McMenamins has any idea that the consensus on all their joints runs along the lines of "expensive, mediocre beer, useless house liquor and wines, service staff that runs the gamut from uninterested to aggressively incompetent, but hey...nice buildings."
They probably don't care; they still make money. And hell, where else are you going to go in -say- Roseburg or Centralia?

There is nothing to add, this is totally accurate.

Except for the part where they keep getting lots of customers and make profits. Year over year. Must be doing something right ya'll are missing.
