Lavastone Steakhouse Facebook review rating drops to 1 star, issues statement, review column vanishes

Will you give them a second chance?

Lavastone Steakhouse was brought into Singaporeans' collective consciousness after the replies it gave to 1-star reviews on its Facebook page went viral on Jan. 4.

Since then, their Facebook page's review rating has gone from 4.1 to 1 (as of Jan. 6, 12 pm).

It has since received at least 80 new 1-star reviews over a two-day period. It is not known how many of these reviewers actually dined at the restaurant located at East Coast Road.

However, for reasons unknown, its 5-star reviews have not been deleted, but do not contribute to its overall star-rating now.

This is its latest 5-star review:

Lavastone Steakhouse also shared a statement on Jan. 6, in response to recent developments:

A check again on its Facebook page at 1pm showed that the review rating on its Facebook page is no longer visible and the review page has been made inaccessible.

This led to netizens on Hardwarezone forum to take notice of the vanishing review page:
