Match the restaurant with the Urbanspoon review

While the wisdom of crowds is best displayed when you hand them a pitchfork and a lit torch, crowdsourcing restaurant reviews has become a popular way for websites to avoid paying writers for anything and keep diners entertained while they eat and stare longingly into their phones. So here’s a game: match the actual Urbanspoon restaurant review with the restaurant.

The Review

  1. "Everything was drowned in salt I felt sick after eating here! Needs to have more flavour not salt"
  2. "Don't go...group of 4 went last weekend - So disappointing!!! 13 courses - only 1 would any of us had wanted to eat again, service was average, timings of the meal were off. No idea how they have gotten 3 hats"
  3. "Incredibly underwhelming, really expected more. And what's with the music???"
  4. "Thoroughly overrated. Not a fan"
  5. "I was blown away by the rudeness! After experiencing typical, hipster Sydney rudeness a few months ago I thought I'd give this place one more chance. Boy, did they fill the cliche yet again. My friend and I have just walked out after basically being told to hurry up and order."
  6. "Getting a bit shabby, the cups and cutlery looking worn out from the dishwasher.When we went last time Sunday around noon, many things unavailable on menu. Would love to love this place but in reality it looks good from a distance but fails to deliver. If you don't know any better you will love it."
  7. "staff dress kinda like hippies - adds a certain flair"
