Critic Reviews

Rob Owen

Mar 4, 2011

Season 1 Review: It's a high-quality reality show about creating a mid-range dining experience. Read full review

Mary McNamara

Mar 3, 2011

Season 1 Review: America's Next Great Restaurant doesn't have the drama of a Gordon Ramsay show, but it does have a behind-the-scenes factor that is fresh enough--who knew coming up with a logo was so hard?--and the subject matter has universal appeal. Read full review

Geoff Berkshire

Mar 4, 2011

Season 1 Review: Based on the two episodes available for preview, Restaurant is admirably low on trash-TV antics, lending it additional family-friendly appeal in the 8 p.m. hour leading into another competition, "Celebrity Apprentice." Read full review

Uncle Barky Ed Bark

Mar 4, 2011

Season 1 Review: The newcomer is unlikely to provoke much dinner table conversation, but goes down easily enough while trying not to leave any really bitter aftertastes. Read full review

Zap2it (Inside the Box) Mikey O'Connell

Mar 7, 2011

Season 1 Review: NBC is clearly aiming for a network companion to their successful "Top Chef" franchise here, but while the aesthetics and the challenges are decidedly Bravo-esque, the personalities don't ever come close. Read full review

David Wiegand

Mar 3, 2011

Season 1 Review: What makes the show at least mildly interesting is that it's not always easy to predict who will make it to the next round and who will be cut. Read full review

Hank Stuever

Mar 7, 2011

Season 1 Review: Both Restaurant and "Millionaire" stir similar pots of self-pride, entrepreneurship and the psychic reward of sharing one's good fortune. But because the medium is television--reality television--each show collapses under the pressure of showing off its sense of nobility and higher purpose. Read full review
