[quote=Anonymous]I completely agree OP.  The restaurant scene here is so much of the same, bland, overhyped, overpriced.  I often leave these places thinking "I just spent $70-$100 on THAT." Lots of corporate-type restaurants with the same menus and not enough local chefs with innovative ideas. Also, there is virtually no diversity in pricing.  You can go out for two burgers and drinks and it still costs $60.  In the city where I come from, you can get a four course dinner at a James Beard award winning restaurant for a little more than that.  The restaurants here are not very good at hiding the fact that they want to get the most money out of you while giving you the least they can. And, don't get me started on the lack of good Italian, pizza, Mexican, delis, bakeries, sandwich shops, real bars with great bar food.  I think that, in this area, too much emphasis is put on developing concepts that they think yuppies will like, rather than on what is actually good.  And the yuppies have to pretend to like it or they will be dissing the places where they go and, in turn, dissing themselves.  And the last thing a yuppy will ever do is piss in his or her own pool.  So, if you look on Yelp, a lot of very mediocre or even bad restaurants in this area get 4 stars.                  [/quote]
