Here's the link to my review of Bistro Rx. I don't take notes at the table when I review; I depend instead on my own memory and sundry aids that have proven effective boosters to it over the years -- the printed menu, the at-table dialogue, and, on occasion, the post-hoc contributions of my tablemates.
The sooner I write the review, the better, of course. On the other hand, marinating is useful. It takes a few days for the creative solution to a review to present itself.
I got into trouble, though, with Bistro Rx. I knew how I felt about the meal, but particulars became elusive when I wanted them to write about. That's sloppy on my part, but it told me something about the food, too. I asked my friends who where there that night -- their memories, usually reliable, were fuzzy, too.
The hardest thing, over the years, for me to write about has been the indistinct.
I should have made notes after the meal. I owe it to you, and to the restaurant. Still, I stand by my review of Bistro Rx.
