Cons
Con Ratings tend to run high
The same restaurants will typically get between .51 points higher on open table, the audience usually gives between 45 stars as long as there weren't major flaws. This is partially do to the fact that service/ambiance plays a larger role in the ratings than other platforms. Since most restaurants that take reservations value service/ambiance, the ratings are skewed upwards.
Con Photos are not in chronological order
They appear to be random.
Con Low price cutoff
$50 and over is the highest price rank, which doesn't help much when comparing prices at sit-down restaurants.
Con Limited to sit-down restaurants that take reservations
Leaving at most casual places, cafes, bakeries, etc.
