I certify that this review is based on my own experience and is my genuine opinion of this restaurant, and that I have no personal or business relationship with this establishment, and have not been offered any incentive or payment originating from the establishment to write this review. I understand that TripAdvisor has a zero-tolerance policy on fake reviews.

Of note is TripWow -- http://tripwow.tripadvisor.com -- an easy way to create and share stunning slideshows. Example: []

Before you can download, at least 10 people need to view your slideshow online.

Among our personal pet peeves -- the inability for locals in the community to contribute views. It's also a mystery how business owners should respond to smear campaigns.

The inherent flaw is that anyone can create an identification and then tear apart competitors.
