Yelp Reviewer Gives 1 Star For Restaurant That Hasn't Opened Yet
As with any community-sourced online content, Yelp’s reviews can vary widely in quality. Still, this may be one of the most ridiculously self-entitled and clueless reviews anyone has ever posted about a restaurant:
My wife and I were downtown and had recently read a review of Graham Elliot Bowles new endever, a sandwich shop. The Chicago magazine made it seem like an enteresting spot and Chef Bowles is a happening food personality, the only problem is the joint isn’t open yet. It was a pleasant walk ruined…
The food blog Eater has asked Yelp whether it’s okay to post reviews for restaurants that haven’t opened yet, but so far there’s been no response.
