I appreciate the frank and witty reviews in LA RESTAURANTS, and take comfort in knowing this is the only guidebook series available that sends professional critics in to review the food offered at a restaurant. Zagat is unreliable, relying only on questionnaires, to make their judgements on a restaurant. It has been proven to me on a number of occassions, while using a Zagat guide, that surveys don't take the place of a through review by a critic. I have been able to avoid wasting lots of money on bad meals ever since I switched from Zagat and bought Gayot's LA RESTAURANTS. I keep a copy of the guide in my car, home, and office.

I have used the GaultMillau series of books for years. I have travelled all over the world and have always found them to be consistent and fair. Their new NYC guide which I own has been helpful and to the point.

I would'nt recommend this book to anyone. They claim to have real restaurant critics write the reviews but have they ever been to the restaurant? Buyer beware! I'll stay with Zagat.

Very useful indexes, love the ratings, great new find.
