The Most Scathing Restaurant Reviews Ever

We've all been there. You splurge for dinner at that upscale, impossible-to-get-into restaurant only to experience mediocre food, rude service and a check you need to look over three times because it can't possibly be right ("They charged me for a napkin?"). You go home, write a nasty Yelp! review and shake your fist to the sky, knowing that one day that place will answer to a higher power. No, not God. The restaurant critic. For in the culinary world, a critic's word is gospel and a bad review can do some serious damage to both the restaurant and the chef's reputations. But for the rest of us, a bad review is just plain fun to read! That's why we're serving up some of the finest restaurant takedowns, not-so-lovingly prepared by critics from <em>The New York Times</em> and other fine publications, all with a bit of a bite and an extra side of sass.
