Rating Culture

Sarah insists on reading TripAdvisor on everything before we try out hotels or restaurants.  So we ended up with this small curry house, listed as number 1 on TripAdvisor.

The curry house was tiny without sufficient ventilation, and with all the hot plates in the house, it was quite smoky.  The food was edible, the portion size of sundries were tiny.  There was a foreign object in one of the curry.  The food by no means good, even the waiter said it himself, how the service was their selling point.

I had to remind Sarah about this fake seafood restaurant in Devon made to the top of TripAdvisor list.

First of all, I am not keen on trying out new restaurant.  Secondly, why can't we just try something ourselves rather than having to read up and research about it.

For the rating to be truly representative, one of us should bash the restaurant on the website, but since I could not care less about this rating culture, and the others possess British pleasantry are not going to write up this restaurant, so the rating will forever be skewed.  So why so we bother?
