The best thing you can you as a reviewer is to be as accurate and descriptive as possible with the food, service, and atmosphere of the restaurant. The more accurate you are, the more seriously your audience will take your reviews. And that's what you're after. You want to become THE source for restaurant reviews.



And it's not that hard to do.



Before you go first create an outline for yourself and partner for the different aspects of dining out. For example, wait staff--were you approached in a timely manner, drink glasses remain full, menu items explained to your satisfaction, etc



Atmosphere-Describe the best you can. Paint as clear a picture as you can for your audience. Let them know what they're in for.



Food--Tell what you ate, cost, describe flavors, presentation, everything.



Be thorough with your outline ahead of time, then when you get to the restaurant you can focus on what's to be included in the review instead of wondering if you forgot anything.



Another thing---Be observant. Pay attention to everything. Any little details that you notice can be used in your review and will help elevate your status.



If you're having trouble with what to look for, apply as a mystery shopper for restaurants. They receive an outline like I've spoken of above. Heck, become a restaurant mystery shopper, get paid to eat, and then take your experience and put it on your blog! Take about having your cake and eat it to!!!



Good Luck. Let me know what the name of your restaurant blog is.How do you judge a restaurant review blog?
Here are some suggestions:

- Good descriptions to get a better idea about the place.

- I don't think that you need to sample every single dish on the menu, but most people are looking for reviews that include a sampling of several dishes.

- Comments on service: rude, friendly, snobs, knowledgeable, etc.

- Tips on what to look for at the place, or something unique that people should not overlook.

- Pictures of the food and place, if you want to do that. But might affect how you get treated at some restaurants because they might figure out that they're being reviewed.

- I like reviews that are for the most part simple to read and honest.

- If you allow comments in your blog, don't get upset if some people don't like your review. Ignore them.

Have fun!
