I try new restaurants whenever I can. I wouldn't hesitate too much to order from a bad rating one if I don't see too many recent bad reviews and explanation. That said, I have been bitten by this far more than I would like. I apply multiple different filters now and then order. Ruined food costs you a good amount of mood.
What would make me try new restaurants?
Something new and novel. Can you make me something that the other restaurants can't? Do you provide ability to customize my dishes? Maybe call your customers with opportunity for big discount or food, tell them about your restaurant more and listen to their feedback. I recommend a single restaurant everytime someone asks me about food place here because I know their service is consistent and great. They don't care about reviews as much as my word.
