Have you ever had one of those nights where neither of you have a preference for where to eat out, so no one can decide? We certainly have, and we’ve learned it’s best to have a plan.
We’ve recently discovered Urbanspoon.com where patrons rate the restaurants where they eat giving them a thumbs up or thumbs down. You can share pictures of your food, what you liked and didn’t like about your experience, etc. There is even a smart phone app. available to help you when you’re traveling.
We used this on our recent vacation and what a difference it made in the quality of food we enjoyed. We simply clicked the “nearby” button bringing all the restaurants nearby on the screen. We then scrolled the list looking for those restaurants with a 90% or higher rating. It was so helpful we added our own reviews and pictures of the restaurants where we dined.
If you would like to join simply click the link above. It will take you to their main page where you can sign up. Then, click HERE to follow us as we eat out and rate our experience. What a helpful tool to allow us to have a better night out together without the typical Dinner Date Dilemma we’re all too familiar with.
The best news? This app works anywhere there have been users to rate the restaurants. If no one has begun in your area, why not be the first? Your friends will thank you for the help, and it will provide a record of where you’ve dined. Kind of a date night diary. 🙂
Bon appétit!
