Confronted with a list of microbrews that I had never heard of

LOL. Wonder what brought this guy here. Guy doesn't know Microbrews, doesn't know what Art Deco means.....I don't think I would trust him about Chuck E. Cheese or Crystal Meth.

Because he obviously isn't a cool sophisticated fellow like you? Why would anyone eat there?

Why wouldn't they eat there? It's been a well reviewed restaurant for about a decade. It was opened by a highly regarded chef. It's a fairly popular place as the reviewer points out

I waited to be seated at around dinner time and the place was packed.

It obviously has a customer base. Why do you think that is? Perhaps the caricature of the place was never true.

If you want to cherry pick yelp reviews, here's the first review on the page you link to

Five Stars

I can't say enough good things about Comet Ping Pong. Super kid-friendly/family-friendly. Pizza is amazing. Best crust! Beer is cheap. Ping-Pong is fun. Wings are INCREDIBLE.

Must try:

Greek salad- so good Wings- a MUST when you come here. Braised not fried. Not buffalo flavored. Really stellar The Hottie- My fave The Stanley- also great The Yaley- YUM

you must request their' wing sauce for your pizza crust. It's a white horseradishy-ranch dressing and it's incredible.

Yeh...whoever wrote that one clearly loves their pizza....

Sorry....when I look at online restaurant reviews and see one like that I tend to think they are a bit too enthusiastic to be genuine....

And I thought you were the one who was a proud sceptic?

That's neither here nor there. My point it's quite easy to find people who rave about this place. Proper skepticism means not cherrypicking your evidence.

No, a real review combines both and bad comments. That's how you can tell it's genuine. Even if it's 90 per cent good, there'll be a realistic feel to a review. Reviews that are over-the-top in their compliments and fawning I always consider fake.
