Zagat
Dining guide publisher
Zagat is a brand name associated with consumer surveys that rate restaurants and other businesses, best known for the burgundy-colored guidebooks that compiled customer reviews into numerical scores and brief descriptions.
Founded in 1979, the guides pioneered crowdsourced ratings before the internet era, with diners scoring establishments on food, décor, and service.
The restaurant earned a high Zagat rating.
The name now functions as shorthand for restaurant reviews generally.
