Maybe I'm simply not aware of it, but I don't think there is a comprehensive restaurant guide (as opposed to mere listsings )on Santo Domingo restaurants.
There is a Resort Review section on DR1. But how about a similar section for restaurants, which I suppose would be far more useful for expats living in DR ? After all, we may not go to the beach resorts all the time, but we probably dine out far more frequently. We can definitely make some use of fellow eaters' opinions.
For starters, how about following the format of the famed Zagat Guides ?
Namely:
On the scale of 0-30, rate on the following criteria:
Food
Decor
Service
0-9 Poor to fair
10-15 fair to good
16-19 good to very good
20-25 very good to excellent
26-30 extraordinary to perfection
and then give a rough estimate for cost for dinner (per head) with one drink.
Of course, each rating entry should be qualified with some (hopefully detailed) non-stats opinions so we can judge for ourselves whether we agree/disagree witih the rater's opinions/taste.
I'm sure we all have our favorite/not-so-favorite restaurants and instead of forking RD$500 a head only to regret the decision later, isn't it simply better to be well-informed in advance ?
Rob, if you are reading, do you think this could be a potential add-on to the features on your board ?
Thanks !
