Get Early AccessChoosing a restaurant should not take longer than eating at one. But between group dietary restrictions, budget limits, vibe preferences, and occasion expectations, picking the right place turns into a negotiation nobody signed up for.
This prompt helps you figure out what to look for before you start scrolling review sites. Enter your [LOCATION], describe the [OCCASION], and set your [BUDGET] range along with group preferences. Instead of naming specific restaurants (which change constantly), it describes exactly what type of place would match your criteria. It tells you what to search for, what questions to ask when you call, and what red flags to watch for in reviews.
Think of it as a restaurant concierge who knows your taste. Planning a date night? It flags what makes a place romantic versus just expensive. Business dinner? It suggests what review keywords signal a professional atmosphere. Have a group with mixed dietary needs? It helps you find places that handle restrictions well, not just token menu items. The guidance works for any city or neighborhood you specify. Use the Dock Editor to save recommendations for different occasions and locations. For cooking at home instead, check out the Recipe Generator or Weekly Meal Planner.
Enter your city or neighborhood in [LOCATION] and select the [OCCASION]. "Business meal" and "casual dinner with friends" produce very different criteria. Be specific about the neighborhood if you have a preference.
Select your [CUISINE] preference and [BUDGET] per person. If the group is flexible on cuisine, pick "open to anything good." Budget selection shapes recommendations significantly: a $30/person search targets different restaurants than $75/person.
Pick your [ATMOSPHERE] preference. This helps narrow results when two restaurants have similar food and price but very different energy. A "quiet and intimate" dinner spot is not the same as a "lively and energetic" one.
List dietary restrictions in [DIETARY] and any special needs in [OTHER] like parking, private rooms, or accessibility. Groups with a vegan and a steak lover need specific guidance on places that handle both well.
Take the criteria and search terms to Google Maps, Yelp, or OpenTable. The AI tells you what to look for in reviews and what questions to ask. This saves you from the "scroll through 50 results" approach.
Get guidance on what makes a restaurant right for a first date versus an anniversary. The AI identifies atmosphere cues and review keywords that signal the right vibe.
Find the right place for a client dinner or team outing. The AI considers noise level, seating arrangements, and price point appropriate for professional occasions.
Navigate mixed dietary needs and preferences when choosing for a group. Get strategies for finding places that genuinely accommodate everyone rather than offering token alternatives.
Know what to search for in an unfamiliar city. The AI suggests what cuisine styles a region does well and what review signals indicate quality versus tourist traps.
