People on Yelp are sometimes so funny it's sad.
Looking up a pretty decent place in Chicago, I came across these two comments:
(1 * review)
If you r a strange-o that feels good about overpaying for small portions and enjoy bad latin music, ______ is the place for u. We received 2 pebbles they called scallops for $8 as an appetizer and then our "meal" came and I was wondering how this place can justify charging the outrageous prices THEY DO, for the small portions they offer. I've never seen my gf finish an entire meal while we were on a date before(she's not a big eater), but ______ can now make that claim. If you're an average sized man and plan on going to _____, please make sure to schedule a trip to burger king afterwards to make sure you are properly fed for the evening. This place is perfect for anorexic women, but if you want to feel satisfied after spending $30 on some latin dish you've never heard of PLEASE AVOID _______.
I dunno. Just struck me like a complete doucher. Especially considering that the restaurant is pretty decent and the portion sizes are seriously nothing to raise your nose at.
Another, same place.

A completely competent establishment. It really deserves 5 stars, but I did not enjoy the duck as much as I thought. Starting at the bar, great, friendly bartenders, mixing up great Mojitos and recommend beers from a list that focuses on Central and South America. Server was great. Attentive, friendly, always asking if we need more drinks. Food came quickly, and was well presented. My duck was expertly cooked. A fine dish, in and of itself. Just not what I was looking for that evening. My fault, not the restaurant.
One visit to _____ and it's easy to see why this place is always packed on the weekend. It can offer something to everybody. A trendy, but unpretentious place that can cater to large groups or couples out for a romantic dinner. I'd definitely return
So you think it deserves five stars, but you gave it four because you ordered a dish you weren't in the mood for, that you admit was expertly cooked? WTF?
Responders: either continue with the pile-on of ****** yelpers or post your own ****** reviews for us to make fun of you.
