4.0 out of 5 stars Quite comprehensive.
The best part of the Zagat, is the number of surveyed restaurants.
I like the fact that the guide extends its survey all the way South to Monterey.
Some "new" restaurants already graded in the Michelin are not fully graded in the Zagat ( Junnoon for example) .

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid This Guide
The real problem with the Zagat approach is that it is too easy for a restaurant to stuff the ballot box with votes for itself. If you believe the restaurant descriptions here, you think that the worst 30-something restaurants in the Bay Area are packed with rich venture capitalists. It is more of a pickup bar guide than a reputable restaurant guide.

3.0 out of 5 stars Inconsistent, February 8, 2008
This review is from: Zagat 2007 San Francisco Bay Area Restaurants (Paperback)
I used to live in another city, where Zagat was great and helpful when going out. However, I have found this Zagat to be inconsistent, unhelpful, and utterly incomplete. They have clearly tried to put too much into a short number of pages and end up with some gross errors and omissions. I find yelp and other online reviews much more helpful than this stagnant guide.

Yelp is not a complete replacement, but you don't have to wait a year for the new addition, or to pay for the digital version.
