If I have an opinion on something I will give it honestly and bluntly. I know if I am seeking opinions I want them to be honest, not sugar coated. I don't know how anyone can make an informed decision about something without honest input, good and bad.
The thing that is often forgotten is that opinions are just that, opinions. It doesn't make opposing opinions right or wrong, just different. If the opinion is about a restaurant or something that is that subjective I will qualify it. First, any restaurant experience, as Kevin has tried to point out many times, is a snapshot. A restaurant can serve 99 guests out of 100 flawlessly but if you are that 1, as far as you are concerned they had a 100% failure rate.
Food is also very subjective because we all value different things in a meal. I can sit next to someone who gets the exact same meal as me prepared the exact same way at the exact same time but because we have different tastes one has a great experience and one not so much.
