[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I vet restaurants ahead of time and mark a bunch on google maps so if we are in an area, tired and hungry we can just pick a spot I have highlighted vs standing on corner reading reviews trying to find a place to eat. I hate wasting time and money a bad restaurants. [/quote]

I need to start doing this.

I've tried various apps that would identify restaurants nearby with reviews but I'm not happy with any of them.  Tripadvisor has steered me wrong so many times with places that had great reviews and really terrible food, including in places like Rome where I feel like it should not be hard to find good food.
I paid for a special Madrid focused one but didn't find it really helpful (weren't enough recommendations in the area where I was, and a lot of the recommendations were "this is a really fun bar!" type recommendations).
If anyone has a suggestion for a good app with more discerning tastes, please let me know.  Not just fancy food, but good local food.  I've had good luck with the infatuation recommendations, TimeOut, or Chowhound (although haven't used that for years so don't know if it's still good).  I guess i haven't tried The Infatuation's app, so I don't know if that has a mapping function -- that could be good.  I can rarely manage advanced reservations, either traveling with family or for work, because there's too much in flux.[/quote]
