Reviews about the company or service rather than the product are a pet peeve of mine for food. I want to know if it is good food first and foremost. I could care less if the waitress gave you a dirty look when you asked that your steak be cooked well done.

What if you watched the server sneeze on the food, but it tasted delicious?

You can't separate the service part of the job from a company that offers services.

Some review systems offer breakdowns to separate these two components.

Service is part of the experience when dining out, so I think it makes sense to include that as a factor for restaurant reviews. Of course, the platform should separate out food from service
