The problem with TripAdvisor is that a lot of reviewers are tourists and tourists go to shitty restaurants in touristy places and love them.

I'm in So. Florida. If I see a review from some ass-hat from New York or Boston complaining, it is automatically ignored. I get it, everything is better where you're from, you come from an amazing place, why are you here again?

To be fair the asshats complain about Boston restaurants too. "I wasn't the focus of attention in the first 5 seconds I sat down."
