That would effectively remove all negative reviews. Eating out is expensive enough as it is, I'm not going to pay for mediocre food a second or third time around.

A better approach (for almost anything) is just to focus on reading 2-4 star reviews since they're usually the most measured.

That's what I typically will do, or search key phrases that I care about. I agree that there would be a lot less reviews, but I'd personally prefer quality over quantity.
