Episode 6 – The Review

The role of a customer, acting as a food reviewer is to accurately convey the taste, texture, smell, and presentation of a restaurant’s food.

You should not only comment on the food but also on the atmosphere, staff knowledge and attentiveness, the speed of service, the general impression of the restaurant, eaterie or cafe.

A great food review puts the reader at your table with you, allowing them to decide whether or not they want to visit the restaurant when they’re done reading.

In fact you are either recommending the place as a place that you or your friends would like to go with, or warning people of places to avoid, so all-in-all, you are providing a service to fellow diners.

There is no point being over positive or over-negative about a place to eat, the best reviews deal in reality – what the place is really like, how good (or bad) the food is, along with the service and the state of cleanliness – it all goes in to making or spoiling a night out with friends, clients or family.

There are many sites dedicated to customer reviews, such as Yelp!, Google+ / Google+ local, TripAdvisor and Foursquare, to name just a handful.

Sue and Chris didn’t have a particularly good meal at the restaurant – hear what they have to say, in Episode 6 – The Review, as they write a review for a restaurant review website.
