Most Overrated / Most Underrated

We last did this topic in March 07 and it has received over 22,000 hits. Time to update.
The original post went like this:
“It is always interesting to me when folks almost sheepishly admit that THEIR experience with any of the iconic institutions or experiences of St. John did not live up to the hype for them or, maybe ain't what it used to be.
Makes me wonder how many don't speak up because they don't want to go against popular opinion. The caveat of course is that a mediocre anything in STJ is better than similar back in the real world.
Well, here is your chance to sound off. (No flaming allowed) For example, last year we finally hit the Miss Lucy Sunday brunch and were underwhelmed by the whole thing i.e. the "specials" that were anything but, the talent of the "jazz combo", etc.
Conversely, there are other things that maybe DON'T get the props they deserve, like Sun Dog Cafe in Mongoose Junction, who serve up consistently wonderful casual food and is great to combine with some shopping when we need a break from the midday sun. So good we hit it twice for lunch last year.
So what's your two cents ???”
Last time Skinnys took some big hits as “over-hyped” and other places like Tamarind Court were mentioned as “under-hyped”. Others spoke up about how much they like Trunk Bay.
That was then. What about now?
