The last time I went into GMs, it was too dark, sub par food, and overpriced for what you got but fact is, there isn't much in the way of a decent brunch unless you go to the same handful of places that are open on Saturday mornings over and over.<br /><br /> I give a lot of places on H a pass for sub par food because I like to help local/independent owned restaurants and don't expect them to have the resources that a large company would have to ensure quality ingredients, best chefs, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-38321454520014134292013-01-15T21:24:18.206-05:002013-01-15T21:24:18.206-05:00Mussel Beach said:

But as someone who enjoys food, particularly good food, I think the focus of any restaurant MUST be on exceptional food made from top quality ingredients and prepared by a chef who knows how to cook. A "theme" may get people in the door, but will it be enough to keep them coming back. I live only a block from the proposed location for Vendetta. But, I assure you if the food is not good, no matter how "fun" it is, I will continue to eat at Toscana, or other Italian places, that focus on the food, not the fun.
