SynopsisSherman Kaplan's incisive reviews will help you to find just the right dining spot every time. Noting that quality and cost are not necessarily related, Kaplan scores each restaurant on a 20-point scale, assigning a K/R (Kaplan Rating) that evaluates: food, service, ambiance, and overall value. A K/R of 20/20 is the best, and no eatery in this book falls below a 15/20. The price range of each restaurant is simply designated by one to three 'USD'. Location, phone number, hours, parking, credit cards -- all the specifics are spelled out to ensure a delightful dining experience instead of a disappointing surprise. Features: more than 250 top restaurants in all price ranges at your fingertips; many different cuisines -- ltalian, French, American, Vietnamese, Mexican, Ethiopian, and many more; four Indexes -- by cuisine, location, price, and late night -- so you can zero in on where you want to eat; critical evaluations and unique rating system help you make the right choice every time you eat out. This updated edition includes many new restaurant reviews., In 1977, WBBM Newsradio 780 restaurant critic Sherman Kaplan brought his restaurant reviews together in book form for the first time. The tradition he began 23 years ago continues today with the 9th edition of Chicago's Best Restaurants. Kaplan's latest revision focuses not only on restaurants which are of interest to tourists, but also those which Chicago area residents will want to explore.
