In San Francisco, for example, Rosamunde Sausage Grill is in the Highest Rated. Granted, it's a good spot for a cheap bite, but Gary Danko is the only "good" restaurant that makes the list. I think I would've loved Yelp back in college, but in my mid-30s I have no confidence in the reviews. Does anyone above 25 really even trust the opinions on Yelp?

But on balance I tend to side with the cafe. It's only a cafe, not a posh venue & verbal trashing can be as bad as any other sort. How about a notice 'Submit your comment to my face first'?

Did you see the reviews on yelp from people who only checked the place out to see what the fuss is about? That’s a genius way to get people talking about them.
