Word of mouth is the best way to find something new, different and AWESOME these days. There is so much noise out there, so many businesses, so many restaurants and sooooo many people. I like to check ratings and reviews and see where to spend my time and money. And I love to help other people do the same. If I’ve had a particularly great experience or meal, I want people to know! Conversely, if it’s REALLY bad, I’ll share but that rarely happens, because I ALWAYS check ratings and reviews first - those Google Local Guides are pretty darned reliable!. I endeavor to be FACTUAL and SPECIFIC in my reviews and am trying to share more pictures these days. Pictures are the best! Time and money are both finite resources, why be wasteful?
