Just wanted to verify how far you are willing to go to get a list generated for you that’s probably not even that unique from the other Y number of people who love being suggested obvious information.
How many combinations of the restaurants around you do you think exist and are needed to provide that information? Certainly need Uber guzzling down Terabytes of data to rank the local Chiles over the local Applebees.
Lets be honest, restaurant suggestions aren’t a real problem anyone has.

I suspect you don't live in New York City, or another city with a thriving restaurant scene where new places open and old places close all the time and you can't keep track of them all in your head.
Lol I do live in Nyc in Brooklyn (between Bedford Ave and Rogers Ave on Martense St, I’ve also lived in Carroll Gardens, East Village, Crown Heights, Upper West Side) and there are plenty of blogs and people with a vocal enough opinion in Nyc to not need to hand off my restaurant searches to Uber of all companies.
If you have problems with restaurant rankings in Nyc you’re not living right.
Sometimes you just need a quick decision, whether you're going somewhere with friends at the last second, or yes ordering delivery and just want something that will be one of the better options. Because there isn't 1 Chinese place in your delivery radius, there are 20.
Believe me, I read restaurant blogs and talk to people too. But that's more for stuff I plan in advance, not last-minute decisions in a neighborhood I don't visit often.
So maybe don't be so quick to judge that others aren't "living right", how about?
I get your point, but the problem here for me is that most of the available information about said restaurants (ads and social media reception) and just noise, there’s no actual signal there about whether I’d actually like to eat at a restaurant.
