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:
This brings me to reiterate why we do NOT do reviews:
- My taste is different from yours, my family's, etc.
- Reviews are opinion and other than eating a lot, what makes them an expert.
- We don't want one unhappy customer (or competitor) to defame your business. This is the trend on the Internet.
- 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.
