Hmm . . . (actual restaurant review happening! Pull up your aluminum chairs!) Camelia, which is literally a 40-second sprint from my house, is a sad, sad piece of shit. Look at my initial review. It was absolutely, devastatingly horrible last night.
Everything -- EVERYTHING -- was just "Going through the motions, we own this space and we call it a restaurant" but it was just tired, awful and downright disgusting.
Which makes the demise of Masako a particular puzzle. Why did they fail and Camelia still exists? Masako was hands-down the best sushi place in Montreal. I'll never be able to have their "Eye of the Dragon" sushi again because they folded up their tents and moved back to China, and boy, I am very pissed off about that. The sushi, not the moving.
Anyway, Brigitte hated it and now I do too, so that just brings the number of restaurants within walking distance to basically Nickels. I don't count that overpriced piece of shit Pizzedelic (why can't IT go out of business?) or that shitty kebab joint as restaurants.
I don't know. It's all just humanity, isn't it? What, it's the luck of the draw that shitty places survive and good places go under? How can that be?
Well, it's probably for the same reason that someone elected George Bush.
Twice.
Too many assholes, not enough time.
I read the review and thought, "Well, for horrible, he makes it sound pretty good!" But then I realized I was confused and couldn't tell when the original review was from...
ReplyDeleteYes, but the review was from about 10 years ago. It really WAS good back then! Which makes me all the more pissed off. I hate writing bad reviews because I hate wasting the money EATING there to write the bad reviews, but sometimes, some places deserve to be trashed.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of them.
