Google has removed Google+ business listings and reviews from it's search result pages. As pointed out on twitter:

Full reviews removed, but oddly left add review buttons that open a popup window which then close themselves. 

Because Google's not changed enough - branded stars gone? #LocalSEO @mblumenthal @localseoguide @CatalystLocal pic.twitter.com/XIIJ5FUXrT

This is yet another sign Google are slowly disolving Google+ to concente on other Google products.
