Would anyone else mind if this LJ also included warnings about places to avoid? (With, of course, threads that can confirm or refute the opinion...)

If that's OK, then let me have you steer clear of Salt & Pepper, a Bella Vista BYOB. I ended up going there through a wine group at Meetup.com. For a city suddenly flush with (at least a reputation for) great BYOB holes-in-the-wall, this place was spectacularly disappointing.

Not only was the food ordinary (salad that seemed bagged, nondescript chicken, pie that was maybe lukewarm), but the service -- at least my service -- was terrible. Our group of 20+ people had the place all to ourselves, and it's a small place. I was at the head of my table and both my main course and my dessert were forgotten.

First and last time I'll go there. At least the wines were good...
