1.\u00a0 I don’t accept free meals to review.<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0 I will not trade advertising reviews for discounts or free meals.<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0 I will accept free items, since there are restaurants that just randomly give out free items to try, I’ve tried to clearly mention this when it happens.<\/p>\n
4.\u00a0 I’m as anonymous as possible.\u00a0 I don’t go out in public with my EatInOC.com superhero outfit (with matching cape).\u00a0 I don’t tell servers, owners, or managers of my intention.<\/p>\n
5.\u00a0 I choose to post a review of a restaurant after I visit the restaurant.\u00a0 You might notice that I have more positive reviews them negative reviews, that’s because I don’t always review the bad after the fact.\u00a0 Most the negative reviews I have were for places that standout as just plain bad, or places I had terrible service (which is completely subjective).<\/p>\n
6.\u00a0 I give my readers as accurate account of my visit to the restaurant as possible.<\/p>\n
7.\u00a0 My reviews are completely subjective and may not reflect your opinions or the actual day to day quality of the restaurants I review<\/strong>.\u00a0 I don’t have the resources to visit a restaurant numerous times to build up my review, I choose to do my reviews based on single visits.\u00a0 I will attempt to point out bad service if I receive it but will do my best to refrain from letting it cloud my judgment on the quality of the food and that of the restaurant.<\/p>\n If I visit a restaurant for a special event I will not rate the review of the meal (Such as when I went to Veggie Grill).\u00a0 If I attend a special event I will notify my readers of such.\u00a0 Coupons don’t count as free meals.\u00a0 I do occasionally post about events I attend or events I have been sent press releases for but these are clearly labeled as such and no bartering of advertising was done.<\/p>\n
