Hi  
I wrote a review about a Fairfax restaurant several months ago that consistently has given me bad food, service
and sometimes even annoying waits when not many dinners were present.  Tonite checking my email I had
two messages from someone named Marie K who has no friends and has written just two reviews   one of the restaurant that I did not like and the other about another local restaurant.  She was horrid to me   said I was a snob and should not come back to Fairfax.   Well honey, I own a house here and have for over twenty years.   I also before I write reviews, try to go to the places I review at least three times to give them fair and honest reviews.  I really felt hurt by her nasty comments.  plus they had bad grammar and spelling errors.
I kind of feel that she may be an employee of the place.  Recently I had another bad experience there, I had to send the food back and when I got it again it was obvious that it was the same stuff reheated.  So I asked for the check and left without eating the food.
The waitress was quite miffed at me and I think this may be the person.  I did not tip ...the service was slow and no one but two other parties were there.  
I felt ignored and uncomfortable.
what do you all think?

I unfortunately sent her a response   to the effect that she was out of line and that I lived in Fairfax so obviously I was not leaving
I do not intend to revist this place.
She really slammed Cucina which is on the Bay area top 100 restaurants.
By the way, a place I had previously given a soso review to   Left Bank in Larkspur has Scott Howard as chef and I and the spouse person felt the place deserves five stars for quality service and prices so I changed my review.

I got slammed too but the person didn't say anything about a review...it was just a personal attack calling me names. When I looked at her reviews, she only had one and it happened to be about a place that I reviewed. I did respond harshly and she never replied....probably scared...lol. I wouldn't worry about it. It's easy for these pathetic people to hide behind new accounts and take shots at people. They are just losers.

Do you have a link to the review?

If it is a new account, chances are that it is an acquaintance of the owner or the owner. Don't waste your time responding. These things happen.

I thought you meant like a UFO attacked it.

That would be strange for sure.

I'm sorry you had such bad times at this place, especially when it is a neighborhood place that you could easily frequent if they served better food and treated you better.

I'm always suspicious of glowing reviews from faceless one or star reviewers.

They won't get my business either.  Whenever I read that a fellow Yelper has been treated shabbily I will BOYCOTT that pkace.

You should immediately take out a large loan and open a competing restaurant right next door. Serve the same exact menu as the place you don't like,  with better service and LOWER prices. Sneak some of you employees inside and poison their food or release rats and other vermin inside and anonymously call the heath department. After they go out of business, as undoubtedly you are the FAR superior person in this, Hunt down the owners at their house and organize protest rallies accusing them of placing Genetically engineered beef in all the their vegetarian dishes they labeled organic. Accuse the using farm raised fish  labeled as wild caught. Sick Peta on them and say the keep ferrets as pets and raise Fur!!(release a ferret on their property).  Repeatedly knock on their door at dinner and tell them your a Jehovah Witness!!

or better yet Forget about it and move on and don't go back!!!

John  since the food is so bad poison is unnecessary
We had fish that had obviously been pre frozen   with fish you can tell easily.  It is that restaurant folks and I will not go back
but some of my friends like it and they always want to go there on their bd etc....so   guess next year on a certain person's special day  we will go there...I will just have wine and bread and a salad and pretend I am ill (as I would become if I had eaten the fish again)
