As a Bay Area resident, I stopped buying the Zagut guides long ago. I've been disappointed too many times.

When recently purchasing two other SF food guides, I decided to check out the latest version of Zagut. I didn't buy it. Long ago Zagut was the only option and somewhat useful in pointing newcomers to well known restaurants. In SF, that time has long passed.

Based on my experience with the SF Guide, Zagut would be my last choice when buying a guidebook in other cities.

i like the zagat guides because one can always count on them for a reliable rating. OK, so the written reviews may leave something to be desired but over many years, if it is well-rated, by voters like myself, I can count on the fact that it is rated accurately and not the opinion of a single person.

Previous Zagat guides provided notations indicating whether lunch is served at the reviewed restaurant.The 2005 issue does NOT. To find out if they serve lunch, your ONLY option is to call the restaurant or go to their web site. I wrote to Zagat about this omission. Of course they ignored my letter. I will be returning my copy. There are more complete guides available.
