Kind of like some of the restaurant reviews and rankings on TripAdvisor, some have merit and others don't. When I see a chain (Dominoes/Applebee's, etc.) ranked ahead of what I feel to be very good independent restaurants, it raises a red flag of sorts.
hmmmm - Here's a suggestion. Create a forum on TTOL similar to TripAdvisor to rate stuff like restaurants and bars. My suggestion would to keep it simple by giving the poster (only registered posters) the opportunity to rate a place from 1 to 10, but without discussion. Then the results could show the average rating as well as the number of people who have voted.
I have looked at TripAdvisor many, many times on places we go and find this feature to be as helpful as I can find.
