The Restaurant Thing [General]

2008 Feb 7
Is anyone else getting no success at "the restaurant thing"? I have them in my bookmarks, and when I bring it up,it says the page is "done" but I only get a blank webpage.
Thanks.

That site runs on Windows. I expect it will be back after a reboot. :-)

Looks like it's working to me

My testimonial: I've been a longtime reader and contributor of Restaurant Thing, but once I discovered Ottawa Foodies I never looked back. Everything is top notch from the formatting & layout, tagging system, user profiles, favourites and the rating system. Three cheers for Fresh Foodie!

I'm a little disappointed in this site as I posted a forum and asked for some information/advice, and nobody responded :( me so sad....

I just tried opening the restaurantthing website and it worked for me. I lurked for awhile but found their reviews a little biased mostly from people who only post when their restaurant meal is really bad. That's why I love the Ottawa Foodies group - everyone is so enthusiastic! And the topics range from restaurant reviews to people searching for obscure ingredients and just plain old chit chat. Thanks for all the great work Fresh Foodie!

Pasta Lover - you're right about the Restaurant Thing just being full of "one offs" and people embellishing bad experiences. I think that being lovers of great food people on this site realize that restaurants can, and do, have off nights. The reviews here are of a completely higher caliber - plus who doesn't love food porn?

Indeed, it seems to be running again, I was having trouble with it for a few days..
I agree, this forum is much more interesting, and balanced, but it is always fun to surf the other sites.

Restaurant Thing site seems to be down again. When I click on the link it just hangs, I never actually get to the site...
