Of course you are. But if you spent the next three years ranting on a fish forum, casting allsorts of aspersions about the restaurant and the chef, do you not think a time would come when your opinion was out of date? The restaurant may have sacked the chef or their fish supplier. Or turned into a titty bar.
Your continual abuse on the fish forum may put other people off going even though there is a brilliant new chef in charge. Perhaps if you went to the restaurant again you might find the fish is delicious. And even if you didn't, even if it was still rubbish, at least your opinion would be valid rather than three years out of date.
