I waver on the star ratings, so I will give my insights on this book and you can decide. I agree with the other reviews. This book is a nice size with a wonderful layout: restaurants are listed in alphabetical order and there is an index. The book's subtitle is: drink.eat. save. Each listing has a deal, but the vast majority are drink deals. There is also a "365 extra" space where author gives her insights on the venue. "You must try one of the homemade pastas. I like the oxtail ravioli." At this point a price could have been easily inserted. I realize prices may change, but the reader can take that into account. She had no problem listing the beer and wine prices. Another: "$3.50 well, beer, margaritas.... I go for the chicken wrapped in a spinach tortilla, and I love the jalapeno toppers." no price on food. For a book which is so extensively researched, this was for me, a huge void. There are websites noted for each listing, so no doubt savvy readers will pull up the menu, if this is an issue. Book received in goodreads contest in expectation of fair/unbiased review.
