Four-word restaurant reviews
Have you seen the site Four Word Film Review? Some of them are very clever. I picked out a food-oriented movie we've discussed here and looked up the reviews to give you some examples.
For instance, for Waitress: "Keri Russells up pies." Although that's not really a review. If you've seen the film, you'll understand why this is both more clever and a review: "Quirky Romantic Comedy Pie."
It's harder than it looks, especially when you apply it to a restaurant review. ...
Of course, I could always say, "Three stars for food," but the idea is to be more imaginative.
For instance, for the Prime Rib: "Pearls, great beef slabs."
Or RA Sushi: "NOISE, good wacky sushi."
Now you try some.

I think you only get double word score for alliteration, RoCK, but I'm willing to give you a triple for the delicious ambiguity.
