It's just plain old messed up that people can be so nonchalant about destroying the reputation of restaurants, with employees that are just trying to make ends meet. This particular customer sounds like quite the two-faced nightmare. She'd lie and say everything was all good right before pulling a 180, and leaving a scathing review that wasn't even honest.

    Text - O0000 Reviewed 4 days ago |via mobile Does not live up to the hype As a serious food lover, and a follower of the White Moose Cafe on social media, I was very eager to try out this cafe. Unfortunately it was an extremely disappointing experience. I ordered the club sandwich and it was worse than poor. At €9, I couldn't believe how poor it was, in both appearance and in taste (see photo). I would like to Zoë Dublin, Ireland 51 95 see the owner focus more on improving the food, rather than

    Text - 1. The Club Sandwich is one of our best sellers. It is a three-tier sandwich with a full chicken breast, bacon, tomato, Dubliner cheddar, lettuce and pesto mayo. Sorcha, our waitress, said that you wanted your Club Sandwich served to you on Ciabatta bread and not the usual three-tier-style sandwich. Is this why the appearance of the sandwich is not as expected? We have no problem

    Text - reconstructing our entire menu to suit your needs, but we don't expect you to whinge if we make a sandwich look the way you wanted it to look. It might also be an idea to include in your review that the sandwich was not made according to our required standard.

    Text - 2. The vast majority of our reviews are very positive. From time to time, customers can have an issue with something. If their issue is brought to our attention when it happens, we will do something about it. We will resolve their issue there and then. If you had told us you weren't happy with your sandwich, we would have replaced it with something else or not have charged you for it. When Sorcha asked you how your food was, you said "it was lovely". In my mind it's a little unfair to lie

    Text - 3. When people write TripAdvisor reviews, they usually think there is no recourse. They usually assume that the restaurant won't know who they are. They are unassailable. Fortunately for us, we were able to identify you. Your user ID is Zoe K, and when I put this into Facebook, up came your full name. When I was faced with the task of identifying you, I thought it might be some feat. However, seeing as you added me as a friend on my personal Facebook, one didn't need to be Sherlock Homes

    Text - 4. We have a great relationship with Q102, we love having the Blue Crew in the café. We have fun with you on our Snapchat. You have us on radio. It's a reciprocal kind of love. We even give you a 15% discount on your food. I see you also failed to mention you got this discount on your D.I.Y. sandwich.

    Text - 5. Finally, I see that there is a certain pattern to your reviews. I have noticed headings such as "Revolting", "5-star Horror", and "What a Kip" in your review history. I also note that you think a certain café in Clontarf "deserves to be closed down". I wonder are there two sides to these stories too? I wonder are you also failing to disclose important facts relating to these establishments?

    Text - You might not be a business owner providing employment to countless individuals from several countries, but l'd remind you that when you write unsubstantiated negative reviews on restaurants, you are seeking to damage the reputation of establishments that provide employment, and thereby you are putting the jobs and livelihoods of its employees at risk.

    Text - Perhaps if you were honest with the restaurant in the first place you wouldn't need to write all these reviews. You might also have more money in your pocket. I know if I wasn't happy with something, I wouldn't pay for it. So, not only would you appear to be less two-faced, but you'd be much richer too! Many thanks, Paul Stenson www.whitemoosecafe.ie

    Text - NOTE: Zoe K told me she would have no problem deleting the review (but to date this has not happened). It's funny how people can be so casual when it comes to damaging the reputation of a restaurant. They write the damaging review at the drop of a hat, and just as quickly they'll remove it when they are caught out.
