Your review is spot on; I totally relate to your statement, "To the apparently satisfied 89 percent of Urbanspooners — I'm speechless." When I lived in Albuquerque, I relied heavily on Urbanspoon ratings to choose new locally-owned restaurants to try, and the ratings were generally accurate. When I relocated to Colorado Springs about three years ago, however, I realized that the local Urbanspoon ratings don't seem to hold any water. When many of the top-rated places are chain restaurants, you have to question the general culinary judgment of the population.
