Poor guide.

The food recomendations are mainly well known food chains. They seem to have failed to seek enough for original places.

the reviews of the restaurants is too brief and generally give insuficient information to make an lntelligent choice.

I've been living in Chicago for a year and a half. Before buying this guide I used to go to expensive and not so good restaurants and I was always complaining about it. After buying this guide I found out some amazing places at reasonable prices. Worth every penny!

I think these make the perfect gift to anyone relocating to a 'Zagat City'. I really like how the editors construct the descriptions by combining actual reviewer quotes submitted in their survey process. Main restaurant listing is alphabetical, but includes seperate lists by location, cuisine, special features, etc.

If anything, buy one just to sit on your coffee table.
