I would trust a survey type review (Michelin, Mobile) over an individual one (Bruni). Nothing against Frank, but the surveys send more people over the course of the year. Survey also aren't the general public (Zagat). Private surveys allow for consistency to be checked, anonymity to be maintained and no "cheerleading" for ones favorite celebrity chef.

If I may address Stevie's comment on Bruni: Frank gave Jean Georges a 4 star benediction. He has a firm belief that the quality of the dishes at some of his establishments suffer due to the fact that he has many to tend to.

I will admit however that it seems awkward to have Frank Bruni's negative remarks on some of JG's restaurants in his blog and yet the New York Times is co-sponsoring the tribute dinner for Mr. Vongerichten at the Miami Food and Wine Festival this coming February.
