[EAGLE WATCH] Reviewer knocks SPICE
7.12.06
SPICE, the new multimillion dollar restaurant complex that is a cornerstone of Pittsfield, Mass.'s plans for revitalization, is the subject of a brutally honest appraisal in today's Berkshire Eagle, the Pittsfield-based daily paper that usually takes a rah-rah approach to stories regarding Pittsfield's downtown.
While the reviewer, Benning W. De La Mater -- one of the paper's more independent-minded, iconoclastic, and colorful writers -- praises some of the restaurant's food, he strongly takes to task the poor service he and his wife received, which he conjectures may or may not have been because the waitstaff was preoccupied with serving the restaurant's owners and their friends, who were seated at the next table.
In any case, the review, "Pittsfield: High style downtown ," is guaranteed to cause as much controversy as De La Mater did when he made an unflattering remark about the appearance of retiring Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
