The Eater app has introduced a new dining notes feature, allowing users to share personalized restaurant recommendations beyond basic details like hours or dress codes. The feature is part of a broader update that also includes ordering delivery and booking a ride. Eater editors have contributed sample notes for restaurants in cities including New York City, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, the Catskills, Portland, and Chicago. The notes highlight specific dishes, atmospheres, and occasions, such as Thai Diner in New York City being praised for its chicken liver with roti and seafood tower. The app now includes more venues than ever, and user notes signal to editors which off-the-grid spots are worth trying. The feature aims to provide colorful, game-changing details that go beyond standard search results.
