The Week In User Reviews: Put Down That Joint
At MenuPages, our legions of users submit reviews regularly for their favorite (and often least favorite) restaurants. Some make it onto the website, others don't. Here, we'll go over the week's best and worst reviews.
We were looking at this week's reviews thinking, where should we start? Almost immediately, we knew: with the review with no words. It's for Park Avenue BBQ & Grille, and what follows is the entirety of the review:
...The food left him (or her) speechless. What likely happened was that the reviewer wanted to give a star rating but didn't feel like writing anything. In that case, the entire review, star ratings included, gets invalidated. So just give us a sentence or two. Please. It won't take you too long.
On to the next winner. This one is for The Whale Raw Bar and Fish House. It's from a 'mr.420' and is titled 'we need it this thank you:'
the best seafood in town,ect....Heh. In the future, mr.420, we'd advise you to lay off the cannabis for a while before attempting to write a review.
Finally, our winner for the week, for Java Room:
The coffee is excellent and the latte my husband got was superb, but the pastries we ordered were overpriced and a bit hard. Stick with any of the beverages and this place will win you over in no time.. It's got all the makings of a winning review: brevity, tips for other diners, capitalization, good spelling, and proper punctuation.
