Hello, Dont forget its not always great to have restaurant critics in!! I have to say that in my opinion I would never offer freebies to entice a critic as you can never be certain of an honest review if the meal wasnt paid for. To echo Zoticus, the best PR you can get is that of happy punters, get enough of those talking and the critics will soon follow. Or you could always throw the first critic out, call the newspapers and wait for the frenzy of journalists that follow!! Or, even better, ban all food journos, then they'll be desperate to get in. good luck
