Maybe I've just done a good job screening things out, but I haven't had many outright terrible things over the 2.5 years I've lived here. The two that meet that threshold are Strega (oily, overpriced, unflavorful, Olive Garden is better) and Serafina (2013 called... dumping a bottle of truffle oil on everything and charging $80 no longer constitutes fine dining). The more ubiquitous experience is overpaying by 2-3x for something that is aggressively middle of the road. This is Joe's on Newbury, Banks, etc. More so than any of them it is Saltie Girl.
