About Us

TableCritic, Inc. is engaged in the business of providing communications consulting and management services on behalf of restaurants and other businesses, non-profit organizations and individuals, including public relations, marketing (internet, print publications, direct mail, television and radio advertising) and event planning and event management; and is engaged in the business of publishing restaurant reviews and feature articles on its website, through other internet venues and in print publications.

The primary focus of TableCritic Inc. is two-fold:

1. Establish an active relationship with the media and the public, working with restaurants, fashion boutiques and hair salons - developing relations and image building

2. Enlighten readers about the positive and worthy aspects of dining out.

The reviews showcase the ambiance, the décor, the service and cuisine of each restaurant reviewed. What is unique about this website is the photos. The photos tell the story of the restaurant. Each restaurant possesses their own distinctive qualities when it comes to food, service and design - characteristics that are featured in the reviews.

The men and women who review for TableCritic Inc. are detailed food writers. They work in the culinary industry; they are constantly dining in restaurants, attending restaurant openings, food seminars and always reading. They enjoy what they do. They are a wonderful group of writers and their insight, writing ability and knowledge have helped shape TableCritic Inc.
