Fickle works by calculating a vibe score to hone your current mood.

Vibes represent a combination of metrics such as ambiance, popularity, and proximity. Together, they form the basis of the recommendations provided by Fickle.

We’re only going to show you places we think are notable.

You won’t find... Fast food chains, Universally bombed restaurants, or anything below an A health grade.

Fickle isn’t a database or search engine, like Yelp or Google, where you can find a review for any spot in the city. It’s a true-to-form recommendation engine.

Someone’s 8 is another person’s 2.

That’s where Fickle comes in. Instead of relying on the fundamentally broken concept of review scores, Fickle uses the data from those reviews to help determine a spot’s vibe.

You might not agree with the flavor assessment in a review, but Fickle gathers information and learns, to give you a more accurate idea of what kind of experience and food you’ll get.

Every city experience will be different.

You’re more likely to want to walk around in NYC whereas you might have access to a car in Austin. We take that into consideration and apply different algorithmic rules to each city to make sure Fickle is as accurate as possible.

Casual

No one in your group dressed up. You just want a laid-back atmosphere with some good food.

Classy

You’re celebrating, or you’re just feeling awesome. Throw on a tie or some heels (or both) and choose from a list of options perfect for a night worth remembering.

Cozy

What’s comfier than lounging by a fireplace? We’ll scour the best, most intimate spots in your neighborhood.

Dive

The best hole-in-the-walls. You’re feeling like Patrick Swayze looking for an adventure. Bonus points if it’s kinda dumpy.

Ethnic

Authentic spots representing cuisine from multiple quadrants of the earth. Featuring every spice you’ve ever heard of, you’ll find the spot best suited to your cultural needs.

Upbeat

You’re in the mood for somewhere fun and festive before you go out with friends for the night. These spots will get you started for the night ahead.

Formal

Graduations, anniversaries, or just celebrating the rest of life. Even the light fixtures are fancy, and you can expect to be sent off with a take-home muffin for breakfast the next day.

Healthy

You didn’t pay for class pass to train 10 hours a week to throw it away on cheeseburgers. You’re looking for salads, organic ingredients, and a minimal amount of oil.

Hipster

Brooklyn’s finest. Something on the menu reads deliciously weird, and the beards have hairnets (unless it’s part of the weirdly delicious menu item).

Local-staples

You can’t visit the city and miss these dining spots. The best BBQ, outrageously meat-stuffed deli sandwiches, and dessert that boasts a line around the block.

Patio

It’s that first gorgeous fall breeze, a beautifully sunny spring day, or you live in LA with year-round perfect weather. You want to take advantage of outdoor seating.

Quick

You’re in between meetings or trying to cram down a croissant on the way to the last train back home. Timeliness is the priority here.

Sporty

Win or lose, you’re celebrating your team’s progress through sports history with fellow fans and the best 42” LCD screens.

Trendy

The hottest, swankiest experiences that, let’s face it, are probably addicted to their electronic Pandora stations. Even the walls are dressed to the nines.

Best Nearby

You're not too picky about the vibe but want the abosulte best that is nearby.
