Reviews

[Kim · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not as complete as I would have liked. Author does rate the places on a 1-5 $ scale for price, but this is the 8th version of this book and several places are no longer in business and several new ones have opened up. If you are a staunch Westsider,not much here for you. Most places are kinda pricey.

Hope the next edition comes out soon. Some places have closed already and new ones have opened.
