Seriously, this is annoying. For many, many things, a google search does the trick. There's always room for improvement, but most of the time, I find the top hit being what I want, and the second hit being someone explaining whether what I want is any good or not, or vice-versa.

Only if you're looking for something a little obscure or awkward to google for do you really need google fu.

But for restaurants, oy gevault! The first N pages were entirely taken up with "find great X in [city]" sites. Which are a great idea, but maybe would help more if they weren't crap.

Many restaurants don't have a website (as far as I can tell, I might have missed it) which is fair enough. But you can't really tell. I assumed bruno's didn't until I hit the right combination of searches.

The final trick that pulled it off? Searching for "[cityname] [restaurant name] -[streetname]" worked, as did "[restaurant name] art gallery", though that probably wouldn't if it weren't one.
