Restaurant Reviews

A potential client reminded us recently of why we don't do restaurant reviews. A local newspaper reviewed the restaurant, had some "criticisms" and published their article. About a week later, an advertising representative for the same newspaper tried to solicit them. It became a large issue in the local community.

This brings me to reiterate why we do NOT do reviews:

  1. My taste is different from yours, my family's, etc.
  2. Reviews are opinion and other than eating a lot, what makes them an expert.
  3. We don't want one unhappy customer (or competitor) to defame your business. This is the trend on the Internet.
  4. If we're paid to promote your business, we want to let the customers decide if they like your cuisine.

If you get a good review, we're happy to include it and, of course, assign credit to the reviewer. Showcase your menu, your specials or your signature dish. Help customers decide that you're worth a try.
