The Vanity Fair review was bad enough. A chunk of decor fell on the magazines critic as she dined at Trump Grill, she wrote. The menus were misprinted, and the reviewer used the word flaccid twice in one sentence describing the Szechuan dumplings.
As for the filet mignon, it came out overcooked and mealy, with an ugly strain of pure fat running through it. .?.?. The steak slumped to the side over the potatoes like a dead body inside a T-boned minivan.
But the real damage to the reputation of President-elect Donald Trumps titular steakhouse may come not from the magazine, but the masses.
The New York restaurants Yelp rating has lost an entire star since the Vanity Fair review published Wednesday afternoon and continues to suffer as a Twitter spat between Trump and the magazine keeps it in the news.

Hard to discern?
I'm sure any such comment when paired with "flaccid" will incur the wrath of Don.

(108,025 posts)My wife and I dined here before seeing Hamilton and it was a thoroughly unpleasant experience. We started with cocktails and our hands were too large for the glasses. The drinks themselves tasted like cologne and forced sex.
