Well worth it

From the moment my wife and I arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, who mixed wit, class and charm to launch a delicious dining experience. Crab cakes to start, Porter house for two and Dover sole, which was recommended, each bite tasted as good as the first. We look forward to returning, with friends, for another wonderful night.

love Eater's "adventures in shilling" feature for calling these out

Awesome.

You'd think PR folks, restaurant staff would learn to add a tepid "bread was ok" or "took a while to get the check" to throw off the trail.

A tipster points out this review of newcomer Stanton is a bit suspect

lol

The mistake PR folks make is in thinking that *we* are the stupid ones.
