I
recently
visited
Cappadocia
Turkish
&
Mediterranean
Restaurant,
looking
forward
to
a
delightful
Turkish-Mediterranean
meal.
Upon
arrival,
we
were
informed
by
the
staff
that
we
could
swap
one
of
the
dishes
for
a
chickpea
mash
and
would
be
offered
some
additional
complimentary
dishes,
with
the
condition
that
we
leave
a
positive
review
on
Google.
This
proposition,
though
seemingly
generous,
made
me
uncomfortable
as
I
believe
restaurant
reviews
should
be
based
on
genuine
dining
experiences
rather
than
transactions
for
freebies.
Ultimately,
we
were
dissatisfied
with
both
the
food
and
service,
opting
to
pay
for
the
items
that
were
initially
offered
for
free.
This
experience
has
led
me
to
question
why
the
restaurant
has
so
many
positive
reviews.
I
feel
that
a
restaurant's
reputation
should
be
built
on
honesty
and
authenticity,
not
on
incentives
for
favorable
reviews.
While
I
understand
the
desire
to
enhance
ratings
and
attract
customers,
I
prefer
a
review
system
based
on
real
experiences.
Despite
this,
I
want
to
provide
a
fair
assessment
of
the
food
and
service.
The
grilled
meat
was
quite
average
and
somewhat
sour,
which
was
disappointing.
The
rice
was
decent,
though
a
bit
cold
for
reasons
unknown.
The
juice
appeared
to
have
a
significant
amount
of
added
sugar,
which
was
a
letdown.
In
summary,
while
the
attempt
to
exchange
free
dishes
for
positive
reviews
diminished
the
dining
experience,
my
critique
aims
to
offer
a
more
comprehensive
perspective
to
other
customers
and
remind
the
restaurant
that
lasting
success
should
be
grounded
in
quality
food
and
service,
not
promotional
tactics.
