I'm not sure I like that it makes me pick where I am from a list with one element. I'm also not sure that I like that it makes me pick where I am before it tells me why. That being said, it does add an element of suspense. Otherwise, it's kind of a neat idea. I'd use that in NYC if it had more content. At the same time, I don't know if I'd ever write a review for it. Maybe if you made giving feedback easier to do - like just allowing the upvoting of particular restaurants or something.
This tab based layout for the selection of dishes will break, when you add more of them. Simply not enough space.
Needs a search function.
Needs a google map to get directions/distances. "Show me best burger place from my current position"
If I select "burgers" and then in the list of burger places select on I don't want to have to select the "burger" again in the restaurant view. Program should remember that it's in dishes mode now. The whole UX has something nasty "circular", where I have the feeling that I must provide the same information several times to get results.

Should I make it so the reviews of a particular restaurant with respect to a particular dish are available directly from the page that ranks restaurants by that food then?
Yes, if I select "Burgers" I get restaurants that have reviews for their Burgers.
If I select the restaurant I see these reviews, instead of having to select "Burgers" again.
Maybe the "Burgers" tab should be highlighted then, so I know where I am.
Real talk this is the illest website to hit the net since f-book
Some things I would add:
Landing Page (http://gustatio.us/):
1. Needs some kind of call to action (what do I do when I land here)
2. Add signup/Login Info to homepage.
3. Maybe add some of the latest reviews to your home page.
4. Site Search
Location Pages:
1. Address / Contact Info?
Reviews:
1. List the username and time-stamp when/who made review.
Also, try cleaning up the URLs to use meaningful permalinks. EX: /categories/taco
