2010 OA Guide By Region & Rating

From the Publisher

Historically there have been two types of dining guides—those written by professionals, and those based on a survey of diners. Both methods can produce reliable results, but they are also capable of producing results that appear to be out of sync with the way that the most avid dining hobbyists feel about a .

In the past, there was no way to access the knowledge possessed by this group of people. But hopefully that has changed because OA has developed a new type of survey—one that asks participants to describe how strongly they recommend the they are evaluating, while at the same time weighting each participant’s input based on the number and quality of the restaurants he or she has rated. It is my hope that this method will prove useful to all categories of diners, and that the narrative provided by this group of people will take its rightful place among the various forms of restaurant criticism that are currently available.

If you would like to participate in our 2011 Survey, simply go to the url below and enter the word olive as the pre-approval code. Enjoy, and I hope your dining endeavors in 2010 are fruitful!
