On the topic of Nello\'s: One negative critical review (for all we know, the restaurant itself might\'ve just been having a bad day then, and restaurant owners do learn from their mistakes) and a 4.9/10 user rating does not qualify a restaurant for this trope. Nor do unethical business practices (despite the ridiculous prices they charge, they may very well use perfectly fresh ingredients and rare/fancy food items). At the same time, the Captain John\'s example doesn\'t fit this trope, because it lasted for a pretty long time and was actually quite popular. It was only recently (due to financial problems, etc.) that the restaurant significantly declined in quality. Which would make it more a RealLife example of JumpingTheShark than this trope.

A good restaurant example would be one that was open for maybe six months but got repeatedly negative reviews from both the press and customers, numerous health violations, etc. and was thus immediately shut down. If the restaurant is still operating to this day and lasted for a reasonably long time, then it probably doesn\'t belong here.

A good restaurant example would be one that was open for three months but got repeatedly negative reviews from both the press and customers, numerous health violations, etc. and was thus immediately shut down. If the restaurant is still operating to this day and lasted for a reasonably long time (ie. more than a few years), then it probably doesn\\\'t belong here.

Actually, given that Blender (from what I can tell) had a pretty large subscription base, it by default does not belong on this page. Similarly, we really don\'t know how popular the restaurants are in their respective areas, so they don\'t belong here either. I\'m going to delete them right now.
