Zagat is indispensable. Along with the LA Times reviews and LA magazine it's my go to source for restaurant reviews.

I love this book. I buy a new one every year and love to read through it and discover new places. I refer to it all year long when I am looking for a restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

We use this all the time to figure out where to go to dinner. The ratings are very accurate and well written
Zagat Survey Does The Job
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
The Zagat survey is a fairly comprehensive restaurant guide to Los Angeles. It is also pretty accurate in terms of price and food quality. I've been to a few of the restaurants in the survey and the review was pretty much right on. Plus, there are plenty of restaurants in here to satisfy any craving. On the downside, the book doesn't list restaurants by area, only alphabetically. You have to scan the whole book to find the ones in your area. Also, there are a lot of unrated restaurants. I would rather see ratings for those, even if the sample size was low, with a qualifier that the sample size was low. Finally, there are some real gems out there that are missing from the survey. The survey includes a few chain restaurants, which it would be better served replacing with some of the mom and pop shops that you can eat good at.
