How to choose between two places
When you are down to two options, the ratings are usually within a few tenths of each other and completely unhelpful. The comparison only becomes useful once you make the question specific.
Decide what would actually make one better
Which is better has no answer. Which is better for a quiet dinner on a Tuesday does.
In practice the deciding factor is nearly always the occasion, a hard constraint like parking or accessibility, or a tolerance such as how much waiting you will accept.
Compare the disagreements, not the agreements
If both places are praised for the same things, that tells you nothing. The comparison lives in where they differ: one is consistently criticized for something the other never is.
Make sure you are comparing apples to apples
If one place's reviews are mostly from the last three months and the other's are two years old, you are comparing the present against the past.
Look at the dates before you look at the content.
Let something else read both for you
Reading two full sets of reviews properly takes longer than the decision is worth. RevuIQ compares them directly and answers the specific question you care about, using the reviews from both places at once.
