“I have found tripadvisor dot com pretty reliable”
Concur, about Trip Advisor especially for Hotels and Restaurants. The thing about yelp, at least in Southern California, are that all the smug little Asian female hipsters whom think they are Food review critics for the LA Times. Some of the reviews are so obviously plants. I wouldn’t be surprised in the least of a scandle involving Yelp paying employees to plant bad reviews then shaking down those businesses for their service.
I’ve had really poor results with Yelp.
I prefer Trip Advisor or even Google. What I do on Google is scan quickly for the restaurants with a lot of reviews. Only then look at the ratings.
Works pretty well. Better than Yelp, anyway.
