Review of Restaurant:

Why did I come to this restaurant?

- Collect 1,000 scene points for a free movie - Checked
- Found friends to watch Man of Steel - Checked
- Pre-ordered tickets to see Man of Steel on opening day - Checked
- Bought a Gillette razor in anticipation of the movie - Checked
- Ate an epic meal before an epic movie - Checked

What did I think of the food and service?

Food was outstanding. The lobster & crab soup was a bit too salty but still amazing. The steak was mouth-watering good. The service was impeccable. I asked them to help me cut the steak for me since I had a cast on my left wrist. Pieces were nicely cut in bite-sizes and made it taste even better. Steak was very juicy too. If I brought Lois Lane here, it would have been the perfect date.

How did my sensitive stomach feel?

I've been here so many times but this was first documented trip. So far, they get a Superman high-five!

Here are just the SIGNIFICANT AND CRUCIAL kryptonites:

May 15, 2012 - PASS - 3 significant kryptonites

1. Fail to store food on pallets

2. Operator fail to ensure cracked utensils not used in food handling
3. Use utensils not free from open seams in contact with food

October 5, 2012 - PASS - 3 significant kryptonites

1. Operator fail to ensure cover will prevent contamination or adulteration
2. Fail to store food on racks or shelves
3. Use food preparation equipment not in good repair

February 13, 2013 - PASS - 1 significant kryptonite

1. Provide thermometer not easily readable in storage

This is quite surprising. Seems like the owner cheap out the utensils and thermometer. Even with Lex Luthor's financial support, they couldn't pay off the food safety inspectors to give a clean report.

Man of Steel Review:

I was so hyped for this movie. Being a big fan of Zack Snyder's work, I knew I had to watch it on opening day. Stellar cast and Hans Zimmer equals blockbuster hit. After watching Immortals, I was more interested on seeing how Henry Cavill would perform seeing that he was a nobody to me. He lived up to his expectations with his clean shaven looks, thanks to Gillette.

The ending scene was like a live-action Dragon Ball movie with better choreography and special effects. Can't wait to buy the blu-ray when it comes out!

Not sure how much Sears paid Warner Bros to have them destroy the Home Store. They must have collected a nice insurance package to help them through this troubled times. Can't believe this happened.
