It has always been my intent and desire to include in this blog reviews of the Martinis I have had at various restaurants and bars I visit.\u00a0\u00a0 I have already posted my first review and I’m sure many readers are confused with my grading system.\u00a0 In that review I gave my maximum rating: Two Martinis.\u00a0 Which I’m sure is causing great consternation, after all what sort of lunatic would offer a maximum of two martins???<\/p>\n

But relax friends, there is a method to my apparent madness.\u00a0\u00a0 My grading system is pretty simple and, I believe, will cover the basics of what the aficionado really wants to know.\u00a0 So with great fanfare, here it is:<\/p>\n

\"Martini<\/a>\"Martini<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 Worth a trip just to try the Martini<\/p>\n

\"Martini<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 Good Martini<\/p>\n

\"Martini<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ehh, I\u2019m here, I\u2019ll have drink<\/p>\n

\"Martini<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 Order the wine<\/p>\n

That’s it, very simple, concise, and fundamentally informative.<\/p>\n

Please feel free to add your reviews, comments, and opinions.\u00a0 You don’t need to follow my rating system but I’d be honored if you do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
