If the food and service is good what incentive is there to write a review at all? It's additional work and time for nothing. I never write positive reviews for that reason. For negative reviews it's completely opposite. So completely "honest" unedited review system would always skew very negative, because only negative reviewers have any incentive to write a review.

I was suggesting it as an alternative to offering a discount for 5-star reviews, just to offer a discount for honest reviews as it would likely generate the same result and the business would seem less shady to customers

There should be incentives in place to write a review.
