Write a review in regards to the level of customer relations that the owner of the establishment provides. On top of the first review.

And then report the threat to the police, hopefully the owner was as stupid as much as she is rude enough to write in in an e-mail- solid proof.

Your friend should make a poll about it on Polls Boutique, then promote the poll via email, blogs, cable news, etc.

Since the owner threatened her life I would say to chop the owner up and make a special stew and serve it at his own restaurant!

If her life was threatened, she needs to contact the authorities.

The owner should be grateful for an honest review because it gives tells them what areas their restaurant needs to improve upon.

Yea, I would call the authorities. Threatening someone's life is very serious business. Have her call the owner to see if he/she will apologize. If this is in MO, she can legally record her call. If she threatens her again, you know have evidence.

Depending on how genuine the threat is, do take the review down.Stuff like this isn't worth your life. But get publicity so that he doesn't dare follow through on his threats and get a restraining order. If he does do something, the restraining order will be useful as supporting background

contact yelp, contact local authorities, contact reputation management bloggers, and maybe even local press.

I would spread the word across the blogosphere and let him realize what user-generated content can do.
