You still get a lot of subjective anecdotes, but it's easier to digest one sentence than it is someone thinking they write for the New York Times food section. It's my biggest issue with Yelp -- just get to the point, no one needs the waxing poetic about how you came to find this "gem in a city". That coupled with Yelp's shady business tactics[1].
