I equate it to an author writing a book.
Once one is done, you start thinking of another story.
It does concern me, but I'm surrounded with very very talented & hardworking people that share my vision & work ethic. Also, I don't see myself opening any more places. Adolfo & I opened the theaters at Canal Place together 5 years ago, a theater in NC 2.5 years ago, then moving Boca, now Primitivo.
I'm tired, almost 40 & work a lot.

I am an author. And one thing I want the most is honest opinions on what I write.Because if I see the reader's point and agree with it, I can make adjustment to produce a better product.
I can't change the last book I wrote, and you can't change the last dish you served. But I can make my next work stronger, and you can make the offering better if it genuinely has a problem that can be corrected.
You don't read reviews of your place and never will? That is the epitome of arrogance, and I respect nothing about it.

And you're exactly right. As an author of several books (and working on two more), it would drive you mad to read all the reviews. Just yesterday one of my books received a great review and an awful review. Just comes with the territory.
However I do understand the difference in some reviewing a restaurant as compared to a book. With a book, I write what I write. Either enjoy it or don't. But a restaurant, I think I'd want to know if someone found issue with quality of service, food, or experience so I could fix that.
Being mindful I'd also consider the source of the review before I took advice to heart.
