I cannot abide subjective reviews of anything, whether books, wine, restaurants, theatre or indeed HiFi. They are all just opinion, not fact, so of no use or interest to me. Everyone's taste is different, so what a restaurant critic tastes or likes won't be what I taste.
There's an entire industry based on criticism, once the mainstay of newspapers, now on-line, that can make or break a product, play or restaurant on somebody's whim.
I remember many years ago when A&R Cambridge (now Arcam) brought out the excellent C200 P200 pre and power amp. It got a 'faint praise' review in one influential magazine, and it effectively killed the product. Other far less well performing products got great reviews and did well.
I know restaurants hate 'Tripadviser' but can't exist without it.
