It depends. There are people on here whom I share a similar taste with and whose review I trust. I do listen to each review and take them into account when planning our ADRs but I would never cancel an ADR just because someone on a message board had a bad exp.
Now if 9 out of 10 people who reviewed the place hated it, I would think twice =) But 1 or 2 bad experiences, nah - not enough for me to not try it myself.
I also have taken the advice of people and tried new things that I didn't even like or was completely underwhelmed with so it goes both ways =)
Edited to add - we ALWAYS try new places each trip. We are only repeating 2 spots this year and that's only because my ILs are coming and we wanted them to see these spots. I don't understand people who eat the same places each trip personally... so that might factor into it, too. We are always up for trying a new spot.
