So lovable, so hateable

Thanks for all your comments yesterday on Blue Ginger. After offering a mixed review, I turned the question back to you. Blue Ginger: amazing or overrated?

Your replies confirm my suspicions that this is one of those restaurants people are truly divided over. People rhapsodized about the food, dissed the food, loved the atmosphere and chef Ming Tsai's personal attention, got cranky about high prices and attitude from servers. (I had mostly great, super-friendly service there, but then I also had glasses of water slammed down on the table with such a glare we wondered whether the waiter's girlfriend had dumped him 5 seconds earlier.)

It's hard to think of another local restaurant people are that split over, and I think it's in part because of Tsai's celebrity. High expectations are easily dashed.

Oh, wait. I thought of one. Legal Sea Foods. Comedian Jimmy Tingle loves it.

Do you? What other restaurants do diners have love/hate relationships with?
