We've already given you a glimpse of how the inspection process works, but now we want to peel back the curtain a little more to give you additional insight into what's going through the minds of our famously anonymous inspectors. The easiest way to do that? Following one of their Twitter accounts (Chicago, New York or San Francisco) or staying up to date with their latest Instagram posts. And yes, these are real inspectors sharing their personal thoughts.
Stellar service is to be had at The Restaurant at Meadowood.
Start to finish, I can think of few restaurants that offer a #service experience as smooth, seamless, and personal as the one at @TheRestaurantMW #threestars

Run to Cafe Spiaggia for fun summer treats.
The Waverly Inn is rife with eye candy.

Gotta love a big bowl of colorful vegetables.
Looks like I need to make a trip to Mar's in Astoria.
If @MarsAstoriaNYC were in #Manhattan or #Brooklyn lines would be snaking out the door #justsaying #TheirMusselToastBeatsYourAvocadoToast

A piece of advice to younger diners.
Hey kids, choosing to delight in an #omakase should also mean arriving on time, ignoring #smartphone and sporting something nicer than a wrinkled #tee #justsaying

Apparently Thai X-ing is the place to go for homey, large portions.
Agern is an "urban oasis."
It’s so nice to walk in to the den of #hygge @AgernRestaurant and escape the hustle and bustle of @GrandCentralNYC #urbanoasis #OneStar

Chez Panisse does simple food right.
Sometimes I forget how good #simple can be, then @chezpanisse reminds me with perfect #strawberries & #tomatoes served fresh and raw
