I understand it does suck to have one or two idiot customers that will flip out about something stupid and write a terrible review of your great restaurant. But I think it would be better just to have no reviews at all on Yelp. Is there anyway to ask yelp to remove your business. Can you not tell yelp that the phone number and address they have listed are personal and no longer a business and that yelp should remove them?

They tried to get removed from Yelp and Yelp ignored them. That's what they really want, to be removed. See my comment elsewhere with a link for more details.

It would break their court-approved business model, i.e. apply any algorithmic filter that generates revenue for Yelp.
