Yelp sucks less now

butterflydreamingYelp sucks less now because I am on it, and have posted three POSITIVE reviews. What a hell pit that site is. It has a culture of complaint and seems to attract the kind of people I want to punch in the face.
I checked on a few places that I like. Three of the four had a negative review either recently or second-to-recent. I wrote a good, fair review for each of those. I don't want to use a lot of time up on Yelp, but from here on out, if I feel like I can't do anything about the abundance of suck, I can at least log on and squash someone's narcissistic bad review.
One of my reviews was for Pike Place Bar & Grill. It's tucked away in the Market, behind the crumpet shop, so I should have expected the good view of the Market through the windows. I didn't expect the windows. It's bigger, cleaner, and not as dark in there as I expected it would be. L had suggested finding out more about their all-you-can-eat waffles, so that is what we did.
$6. No joke. Crispy, golden brown, light, tasty Belgian waffles, with butter and syrup. My waffle came on a plate with a little garnish of fresh orange. When I ate it all up, the nice waiter speedily brought me another one, freshly made. This repeated one more time. I didn't want to make myself sick, so I stopped at a belly full of three. You could get ones with pecans or with berries and whipped cream for $6.75. The coffee, good enough to be enjoyed black, came in a mug that didn't go empty until I was done. Win? Absolutely. Could only have been better if you were there with us.
They offer this every day until 2pm, by the way.
As we were leaving, the Crumpet Shop staff and a mob of others crowded inside the shop were singing happy birthday to someone.
