I honestly do not get the "yelp" reference that is so often mentioned on this site.
Why would anyone choose to NOT visit a restaurant because they had 6-8 bad reviews? Restaurants serve 1000's of people a month. The insignificant number of "yelp" reviews would not sway me in either direction.
I would like to think that most reasonable people would understand that unless you are a food blogger, the only time you will make such a comment is if you are unsatisfied. How many people have gone to a local eatery and had a great meal and decided they need to log-in/create an account to mention it?
For reference I just checked a few of the popular ones:
47 reviews in 8 years
20 reviews in 6 years
82 reviews in 11 years
And this one just for a kickers that has not been mentioned....
3 reviews in 6 years got this restaurant s 5 star rating.
