    Tassia Restaurant’s post about Kylie Jenner’s visit was filled with praise for the influencer-entrepreneur.

    Rather than boosting business, the restaurant’s tribute to Jenner ended up being flooded with mockery from netizens, according to theDaily Mail.

    “‘Honor?! Did she find cure for cancer or what?!'” an Instagram user wrote.

    Others echoed the sentiment, criticizing the restaurant for treating Jenner’s visit like a historic moment.

    “Honor LOL… as if she were an important figure for humanity,” one user wrote. 

    Another added: “Honor? For what? For (being) plastic (and lying) about it and (making) young girls insecure about (themselves)? Ohh noooo!”

    Another Instagram user bluntly asked: “Relax brother for what a honor? I don’t understand (unless it’s) a president or prime minister or a doctor. (It’s) just a girl with big a** and many boyfriends,” yet another Instagram user stated.

    Some netizens defended the restaurant, while others vowed to boycott it

    The backlash didn’t stop at sarcasm. Some commenters said the restaurant’s praise of Jenner turned them off entirely.

    “Thanks! Now I know where NOT to go,” one Instagram user declared. Another simply posted, “Boycott.”

    Still, some people jumped in to defend the restaurant, calling the outrage overblown.

    “People who are getting mad at this need to touch grass,” one commenter noted.

    Despite the sudden backlash, Tassia Restaurant has a long history of attracting high-profile visitors. 

    Just a few weeks earlier, NBA legend Magic Johnson stopped by, and the owners also gave him a glowing tribute on social media.

    The restaurant called the NBA icon “a returning guest with legendary energy.”

    Jenner’s dinner in Kefalonia was part of a longer European getaway. The Kylie Cosmetics founder recently attended the extravagant $56 millionwedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez.

    Gah, this is what businesses on social media do. Notable person comes in who willingly takes pictures with them. They post about it and hang their pic on the wall. People just love to find things to criticize!

    Kylie is noone special to boast about. Just a severely insecure wman who needed 2 million dollars worth of surgury to feel special as she struts around half naked with all that plastic hanging out. I personally would not go to any place that honors someone with no talent, no great achievement and who is cheap and classless. I do not waste my life worshipping useless people like some fools do.
