useful and readable “My husband and I have been to dozens of the restaurants listed in this book. Although they were hit or miss, because of course, everyone has different tastes and preferences, we found plenty of gems we didn’t even know existed. I’m frugal, and this tiny book has let me indulge in my love of eating out without doing damage to my wallet!” – mima
