Is anyone else tired of overhyped Houston restaurants? What are your recent let-downs?

Unfortunately, Houston food media is largely advertising/PR. Most key players are not anonymous and do not conduct blind reviews. Our "critics" are often chummy with restaurant owners and chefs, and they accept free meals and other perks. This, in my view, has a lot to do with why Houston restaurants reviews are so often overwhelmingly positive and why the experiences described in reviews do not reflect reality.

My recent let-down? Granger's in the Medical Center. It's terrific to see a restaurant with higher-end aspirations in a neighborhood sorely lacking options. But there's no reason to travel across town for this experience. The dining room is very loud; on the night I went, the air conditioning was struggling to keep up; and the food was fine, but hardly memorable.
