How to reply to a restaurant review with no text
A restaurant review with stars and no words still deserves a reply. Thank a high rating. For a low rating, apologize and offer the manager. Do not guess which plate failed.

Five stars and silence is a thank-you. Name the restaurant, sign it, and stop. Do not attach a slogan or a new menu item. There is nothing in the review to answer.
One or two stars and silence is an apology plus a way to reach a manager. You do not know if it was food, the wait, or the bill. Inventing one of those makes you look careless.
Four stars with no text does not need a hunt for the missing star. Thank them. Do not ask what kept it from five.
Keep these replies shorter than the replies you write for a paragraph-long complaint. The length should match the review.
The reviews on this page are invented to show a reply shape. They are not quotes from a customer. For a single draft of a review you already have, use the free review reply generator. No account is required for that one reply.

- Does not guess a dish or a server
- Offers a person
Questions
- Should every star-only review get the same sentence?
- The shape can match. Change the sign-off name and, on a low rating, the person you name. A hundred identical lines look automated.
- Can I ask what they ordered?
- Ask that by phone or in person. The public reply does not interview them.
