I sent a review of the VERDE ON SMITH restaurant (216 Smith St, Brooklyn, NY 11201), and explained that this restaurant offered the worst food we ever tasted in any Italian restaurant, each of the 4 food orders was terrible. After a first bite, we concluded this is so awful and returned all meals but paid the full price. Tripadvisor requested additional information but did not want to publish a rating (one star). Instead, they sent an email requesting to take another look. I posted the same review again on the Tripadvisor website, again the same response, and after the third time when I left a review and received the same email asking me to reconsider, I gave up because it is obvious that it is a scam company that publishes fake reviews according to how much some company wants to pay to get the best (fake) ratings. The last two negative ratings were published in 2019 and 2020, after that (after bribery) the Verde on Smith restaurant received only the best ratings. Thus, Tripadvisor deceives users who think that the ratings on this website are an authentic user experience, when in fact they are just a way to deceive restaurant guests and share the looted profit with a company whose business policy is corruption and fraud.
