Being "Zagat rated" like the stickers say does not mean that you got a GOOD rating.

It took too long. The WSJ has a better one here http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904836104576558600549181370.html/ [wsj.com] that's not behind a paywall. It also takes a more insightful view of the deal and who might be affected by it.
