That is why you see such low scores for the majority of Villages restaurants on Yelp - with Harvest and the new seafood place in SS being the rare exceptions.

You're 100% correct. Trip Advisor is corporate driven, Yelp is consumer driven.
In other words, you can "buy" your way into good reviews on Trip Advisor, you can't on Yelp. The majority of Trip Advisor "reviews" you see, are not based on direct Consumer reviews submitted to TA.
