- Waterluvian 8y agoI think this is a complete riot. But I also feel tremendous empathy. I get maybe one nice night a year with my wife. I know nothing about fine dining. But maybe I find this place and I take her. I'm almost in tears right now feeling the hypothetical gut wrenching realization that I completely ruined the evening. I'm so afraid, to a fault, that I'll mess up the perfect days she deserves, so maybe I'm alone in how awful I feel that they actually fooled with real people by the end. A bit too far.
- rockostrich 8y agoIs it really so bad that they fooled real people at the end? The people thought they were getting a world class meal. Their enjoyment of the experience is real. And even if you did end up going to this "restaurant" and later found out that it was a fake restaurant that somehow made it to the top of TripAdvisor, then you end up with a story about being one of a dozen or so couples that got to have this experience. It seems like a win either way.
- gowld 8y agoThe shed isn't actually serving world-class meals or anything that appears as such.
- Waterluvian 8y agoMy wife and I totally have this sense of humor... On any other day than the one day where we get a babysitter and dress up and really try. :)
