This interface is way too cluttered. They're showing a half-dozen arbitrary numbers per restaurant and that means absolutely nothing to me. The UX needs a lot of work and needs to get beyond this silly made-for-computers rating system.

Do they really expect me to calculate the average "cost per person" too? I know it says optional but that's absurd.



"Made for computers rating system"? The thirty-point scale is exactly what Zagat has done for years.

Total bill divided by number of people. It's optional, but ultimately a very helpful field for those who are reading your review. Most people want to go to a good restaurant, but not if it costs $300 per person. Being able to filter those out without manually reading each review is helpful to them, and theoretically you are writing a review to help other people :)
