So I learned after a few trips that yelp is not that helpful in picking good places to eat when you're traveling. The top rated places can be weird. To illustrate this point I present to you the Sacramento top ten:
1) Rolle - is really good, true
2) La Bonne Soupe - presumably this was from before Daniel Pont sold it so this account should have really started over when it changed hands
3) The Kitchen - sure, I don't really know
4) Magpie - agree (the part of the one review that you can see popping out on this list is "every bite I take of a carrot cake cookie; I have a mouthgasm" ewwwwwww)
5) Heat Shabu Baru - totally meh, see my review from a long time ago
6) Mulvaney's B&L - yeah sure
7) Ettore's - ?????
8) Burgers and Brew - noooooo for their food and their brew.
wait, if you click on it it reformulates whatever you get the idea. I don't really read yelp but maybe I'll start again. I'm only doing one review a month so I'm not on the lookout for ideas all the time

traveling is pretty much the only time I ever look at Yelp - and then it's been gold. i've been stoked on every place I've found thru it.

Ettore's is actually pretty good these days ... former sous chef at Ella and head chef from Selland's leads the kitchen at Ettore's now. But yeah, a little odd to see them in the list and not, say, Kru or even Ella itself.

I read many reviews, but I only trust the ones by reviewers I've come to know and trust. I was threatened with Elite badge removal due to my inactivity. Guess I better write something soon, huh?
