The other day, for class, I was assigned a restaurant review to analyse and to learn from.
https://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/10/dining/restaurant-review-dirty-french-on-the-lower-east-side.html?unlocked_article_code=x_rrhAg1vh6RByG_0T3oMlyDngDmH_PlNVTNnRiRK9Ju95YQgQaVCzQPdFygeQRGKzJeyyGXKl6dBNLD-zjOtZN03e52u4OdtEFHBIdCV8fQUfMKFyLbNVauLD38DPBd6kXz00kECXtBBHWLYVZkU_C7lBuIpzIEGt5w8PV3L_bnIZx5XO9NoOvLAoXrNg66fHe5AP1jVsH9KVhWnIO7BHvuITJTcEccL60bvhz6AFMQ5li8KU4ZTHn-qf_i64I7VZsLOomjEacEjiiCBnOEY9AmmGKpFisP7c4FYyx5rWnwXiX1F0mMc7vrAh-aJz99dmobtdaiNkg_gMdCx2WnamYPPmUy2-4dUcPLW7MjyFfseligzAaLB5HvwZUlMg&smid=em-share
the link above was the review i was assigned.
the article was from the New York Times, and the reviewer was Pete Wells.
My first impression was that the language used here was rather... pretencious. I dont want to speak down on people's writings much, but i couldnt really tell whether he liked the restaurant or not? he spoke a lot about the interior design, which i thought was fine, but i wish he had spoken more about the food.
What i actually DID like about the article was how he added a star system, alongside a overview of his overall opinions at the end. He managed to get his point across then, and i thought that was a good addition for reader to really understand and see if they would like to go to the restaurant.
When the time comes for me to write a restaurant review, i would like to implement his star system and the overall overview, but mainly focus on the food. I did like his discriptions and opinions on the interior design at times, and i too would like to point out things about the interior of the restaurant i will review, but not to THAT extent.
