I went to http://westweb.com/alacarte/.
I clicked on the Canadian flag (assuming this would get me stuff in
Canada.)
I was presented with a MAP of Canada and clicked on Ontario.(assuming
that this would get me stuff in Ontario)     
I then saw a list of cuisine types and a list of towns and cities in
Ontario.
Cuisine type did not seem relevant for B&B info so I selected NONE.
I did, However, select Ottawa as the city I was interested in.
I UNCHECKED List of regional food,drink and travel
I CHECKED List Bed n' Breakfasts
I then clicked on SEARCH.
Lo and behold I was presented with a list of B&Bs in the Ottawa area.
Not once was I requested to supply any information not already present
on the page.
 
I fail to see what the problem is that everyone seems to be having!

True, not all restaurants have reviews. On the other hand do you have
another  source where you can search for restaurants all over North
America by Cuisine and City??  Do you have a source where you can
determine which restaurants have web pages? Do you have a source that
will give you a list of B&Bs?? 

Folks, quit yer bitchin' and say thanks to the people who have
provided such a list. Instead of whining, try providing constructive
criticism and, oh yeah, try reading the text before you get click
happy. Following a few simple instructions would have gotten the
desired results.


Cheers,
Brian
