Posted by Perry Stalsis on June 6, 2006, 2:19 pm, in reply to "Re: Ocean Drive, Torquay" I have been browsing through the internet over the weekend and came across your site [JUSTIFICATION OF REASON FOR READING RESTAURANTSPY, DESIGNED TO PERSUADE US THAT YOU STUMBLED ON THE SITE AND WEREN'T GOOGLING YOUR OWN RESTAURANT], of which one of the restaurants reviewed was "Ocean Drive, Torquay". I was shocked to see the poor review for this establishment! I have and would not hesitate in recommending this establishment as a good choice of venue to eat! WHY NOT CONCENTRATE ON PLEASING THE DINERS INSTEAD OF THIS RUBBISH? Perry Stalsis
Here's an analysis of the hallmarks of the 'autopuff' or fraudulant review piece. My comments in CAPITALS:
I have eaten here on a few occassions [LIKE WHEN?] and cannot speak highly enough of both the quality of food and the excellent service [NO EXAMPLES, CF. DAISY]. For a small local business I think the proprietors [WHO CARE'S ABOUT THEM? WELL YOU DO OBVIOUSLY, AND WE KNOW WHY] have managed to create a unique dining experience in the Bay [PUFF VOCAB] with the themed memorabilia and music.
Food is fantastically presented and second to none in taste with a good variety of menu - all freshly cooked [FAR TOO MUCH ENCOMIUM AND ALL TOO VAGUE]! As yet I have not been disappointed. Service I found A1. Staff are extremely friendly, attentive and service was not rushed at any point. It was good to go out for a meal [FAILURE TO REMEMBER YOUR INITIAL LIE ABOUT HAVING DINED THERE "ON A FEW OCCASIONS". IF YOUR FOOD'S AS CARELESSLY PREPARED AS YOUR AUTOPUFF, GAWD HELP DINERS] and not feel that you were being rushed through service to make way for the next party.
