blogger sued for posting dinner experience
Manama: A Kuwait blogger is being sued by a restaurant after he posted his view on a dinner experience there.
"A few days back I posted about Benihana opening up at the Avenues and last night I decided to pass by with Nat and try it out," Mark wrote on his blog.
"The service wasn’t too bad for a restaurant that’s just been open for a few days and the staff were really friendly...The problem with my experience last night though was with the food, it was disappointing to say the least," he blogged under "My Benihana Experience".

crazy world we are living in really
Hmmmmmmmm I ended up finishing 2 files on my table instead of 40 files LOL after ended up reading more than 5 blogs comment in almost 3 hours regarding Benihana - Kuwait Lawsuit VS Mr. Mark of 248am it makes me sick but i found myself following the threads ahaha..
Is there any Benihana branch in Qatar? if there is I would love to try their servings Im a old timer "sushi lover" but I have to make sure the GM is not Mike Servo, otherwise? I don't want to be sued.. lol
Enjoy!
Of course, this is a rhetorical question in the ME :)
you can counter sue and make your money.
That's one good thing about being bankrupt, I don't care about getting sued :-P
There are instances of this in US, Malaysia etc..

Is this common only to the ME? I doubt
deepb,
The fact that you, me and others cannot say what we think about it, is related to the answer of my question above.
A perpetual problem that feeds itself...
Hmmm and I was going to go to Benihana tonight...Guess not.
Nic, I have a few opinions on that point, but I think I'll keep that to myself ( don't want to end up being sued myself).
Democratic Kuwait (lol) on its best!
Unbelievable how little the entire MENA region has progressed politically. One must wonder what delayed this progress in this region versus the rest of the world?!
or maybe the resto was owned by someone so powerful in Kuwait
the restaurant be trying for some cheap publicity. who knows
The food must be really crappy if they feel compelled to sue a blogger..
they could have just improve their service and the quality of food they're serving to customers instead of filing a lawsuit against the blogger
Read the blog ..

Don't see much wrong with it. It's someone relating an experience.
People have to learn to differentiate between real news and blogs.
I am disappointed that the restaurant feels the need to sue... However , as they say - any publicity is better than none :O)
Sour grapes, but how did they find out who he was and how to find him?
Pathetic! should this blog be learning experience for such establishment to improve their quality services? I think yes.
should blogger have the rights to criticize others based of personal experience? YES however beyond exaggeration is not tolerable but placing lawsuit? hmmm I rather improve my service reduce wasting time/effort and money than paying lawyers to suit my EGO.
