D.C. Restaurant’s Yelp Page Under Attack After Ted Cruz Is Chased Out By Protesters
By Nikita Richardson

After a brief lull, the hot summertime trend of protesting politicians over dinner is back in full force. Last night, a group of protesters tracked down Senator Ted Cruz and his wife at an Italian spot in D.C. and confronted him over Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court until the senator was forced to leave.

The restaurant in question has been identified as Fiola, an exceedingly pricey restaurant, which Washington Post restaurant critic Tom Sietsema has called “the most glamorous place in the city to twirl pasta.” But conservatives and supporters of Senator Cruz don’t feel the same way apparently, and have taken to Fiola’s Yelp page to voice their displeasure with a string of one-star reviews.

“They allow paying customers to be abused and harassed by people coming in off the streets,” reads one review from Paul S. of St. Louis, Missouri, while Michael B. of Peoria, Arizona, wrote that “conservatives are not welcome and will not be protected here. The staff will allow randoms inside to yell at you while you try to eat your meal. It’s very sad.”

I hope it has the same effect on this restaurant as it did on the one that refused to serve Sarah Sanders.

[Silver Pines]

Oh, well.  I'm sure the protesters can afford their menu and will keep them afloat.

Or not.

This is a downtown DC eatery with $100+ plates. The town is loaded with rich Cruz type politicians who love blowing taxpayer cash on places like this. They are not going to suffer at all.

From the photos, their food sucks, so they can have it.

What's wrong with you? $24 for a snail on a hot dog bun is a bargain!!!!!

Not even rich politicians who's names aren't Cruz want a rabid Antifa type blowing sputum all over their snail while ranting at the conservative target de jour.

@Frank Cannon

Oh, Lord, I had snail once, and that was too much. 

I hate this pretentious crap....drizzle something on two chunks and call it dinner.  No, thanks.

Don't forget the lobbyists, too.

If this restaurant should suffer at all from this, they'll simply raise their prices and it'll be twice as hard to get a reservation.

In that cesspool their business will likely double.

If they play it right, they can make it a huge positive...terms of clientele.

The pics remind me of The Inn at Little Washington...near Warrenton, Virginia.

But is it a "sandwich"?

[Frank Cannon]

But is it a "sandwich"?

No. It's an upscale wap food place. It would be a "tramezzino".

Ted said he loves Chunky Soup---he should show up with a can in his pocket and ask them to heat it.

I know you work with hyperbole and sarcasm the way Michelangelo worked with marble and paint, but the Cruzes might have been at a high end place celebrating something    My bar tab was $100+ for my birthday

@DCPatriot

They've been around for a while, right?  I know they have an excellent reputation.

If you're ever in Lynchburg and want the best steak ever, and really good wine, try here.  The filets are amazing.

The most memorable dining experience I had.   New Year's Eve 1983.  Reservations were made in February or you were SOL.

It's a seven course fixed price menu...you add your wine.

I'll be sure to get to Shoemakers!      @CatherineofAragon
