I really like the concept. A few suggestions for the UI:
1. Why make me choose a city at all? Start me at the US and let me enter an address and show all places on the map.
2. The map is very small. At the minimum it should take up the available area. Keep the same height / width ratio if that looks better.
3. The color codes should be visible from the start so I know what I'm looking at. I'd suggest moving it above the map and out of the tabbed part.
4. Make the Top Rated part into a table with columns and alternate colored rows. It looks messy.
5. The tags section is messy too. Give me a list of tags and the number of restaurants in each tag and let me click. And definitely don't show me tags that don't have restaurants.
6. Actually, dump the tags and categorize the restaurants. There's too much potential for an overabundance of tags.
7. The text in locality filter overlaps.
8. I'm not a fan of popups in general because it covers too much of the map and makes it very difficult to click another restaurant. Consider moving all of the info on the popup to the area below the map.
In general, figure out why people are coming to your website and engineer the UI to fit that purpose. I would think people are looking for where to go out to lunch because of your domain name (which looks it may change). So let them zoom into their office and see all of the places within a few miles. Colored pins are good but your customers have to know what they're looking at.
