Whether one likes (or doesn't like), prefers (or doesn't prefer), hates (or loves) a particular dish and the way it's been prepared is literally a matter of "taste". One individual's taste may differ drastically from the next individual's taste, and is influenced by many variables (including things that can't be changed) like culture, experience, and (things that can be changed) like what was the last thing you ate/drank that left a taste in your mouth, how hungry/thirsty you are, etc. I've dined at very well known restaurants that enjoy a great reputation and have been pleased one time and disappointed the next. Our expectations are perhaps the biggest influence on our pleasure/disappointment. I've dined at Bonifay many times and have not yet been terribly disappointed. One thing I recognize is that ALL restaurants occasionally have a brand new employee who is not yet familiar with their systems/protocols that can translate into "poor service." If someone is disappointed multiple times with the dining experience at a particular restaurant, it's best to move on to other alternatives, and perhaps return after a sufficient time has passed. For me, Bonifay has turned out to be a great neighborhood restaurant and bar. To each his own taste!!
