Hi, ..


Can I say the following?

"I went to that resturant a number of times years ago, and my opinion of them is very positive in general, with the last visit was nothing short of amazing."


I didn't want to use being there as I wanted to keep it back in the past: back then it felt / was amazing, regardless of how it would've been deemed now.


Thanks in advance.

See corrections. Why do you say "in general"? Did you have some negative or mediocre meals there?

I can't understand the error here. When I said them I meant the folks who worked over there - I thought it would be implicitly understood. You think it doesn't work like that?

Not exactly per visit was I judging, no. But in my book, and talking criteria, they (almost) tick all the right boxes, and so they generally leave a positive impression, with the last visit them even outperforming themselves.

.. you think I should remove with and start a new sentence?



I appreciate your notes.

The reference is to the restaurant. "them" doesn't work.

Yes. Use what I suggested.

Thanks, appreciated.
