I find Yelp's UI to be much more friendly. Also, their free iPhone app is awesome -- coffee near me is the secret sauce. I use Yelp heavily around Stanford. It's pretty clear to me that Yelp-like sites are the future of (this type of) food review online, especially since Zagat is charging. Playing off the network effect for a user generated content site seems key, and charging a subscription certainly doesn't help with that. Traffic stats and restaurant coverage mentioned in the article bear this out.
