A great inovation

When I downloaded this app, I was expecting the same basic layout as urbanspoon or around me. With the ability to enter the number of people you are taking to dinner this app really gives good information on the closest restaurants and average price range for the meal. This app is my new go to app over urbanspoon when looking for a place to dine when i have limited time to make a decision.
