Exceptional: will usually include tableside preparation

       Outstanding: definitely worth an extra trip  

            Good: a fine meal; leaves you satisfied  

                  Pass: take it or leave it; not too memorable

                       Eh: you don't care to finish it

                   ...a bomb: send it back!

I was looking forward to this day for weeks!  Family and friends were all gathering here for Brunch for my niece's graduation celebration.  Leaving at 7:00 AM, we drove 4 hours, and by the time we arrived, I was famished and couldn't wait to eat my Caesar's Salad.  

It finally arrived...and even champagne couldn't help...  The dressing resembled mayonnaise straight from the bottle.  I couldn't taste any garlic or anchovies.  Fresh ground pepper anyone?  anyone?

If it weren't the bits of cheese I managed to scrape off my plate and pile up on my bread, I would've starved.

So much for that...
