Lakeland Restaurant Reviewing
• Jane Nickerson dined one evening last week at an old established eatery whose manager had changed. It was a motel restaurant which Jane had panned pretty badly a year ago. Wanting to do amends, Jane returned hoping to find new management serving better and more exciting dishes. But lo, what did Jane find? The usual fare, higher prices and poorly prepared food. Overly concerned that she would have to again give the restaurant a bad review, she talked with her editors. We agreed that we would forego the review and try it again in six months to see if things get better.
