Zagat score changes

New ratings and reviews are periodically added to Zagat.com.

We use a combination of local editors and factors like user reviews to help us identify Zagat-worthy restaurants. 

1. To be considered for a Zagat review, go to Google My Business and register. Since Zagat is part of the Google family, this is the best way to make sure we have current information about your business.
2. Local editors review listings in their market to identify restaurants worth adding to Zagat. They consider a variety of factors, such as Google user ratings and reviews, to find high quality restaurants with compelling character or unique aspects.
3. The Zagat editorial team makes the final selection of restaurants that will be covered on Zagat.com.

Due to the large volume of inquiries we receive daily, we cannot confirm whether an editor has reviewed your business information.

You can update your business information by claiming your listing in Google My Business.
