Did the Plaza Midwood tour with my boyfriend (local) and a friend (out of town). It was a really great way to show my friend a nice cross section of restaurants and food in a great neighborhood. Couldn't agree more that Kristi is "just right" - she is organized and has all the details down without being neurotic. She has some interesting facts and tidbits about the neighborhood without going overboard on them.
Never felt like we spent too much time at any one place, but never felt rushed to finish the food. Just like Kristi is "just right", the information you learn at each restaurant is "just right" - some places have owners/chefs who have a ton of interesting information to share, while others give a very nice overview of the food and not much else. This makes for a nice balance - some places you can do a lot of chatting with those around you, while at others you find yourself listening to great stories or local insight.
For the cost, the amount of food that you get is perfect - erring on the side of too much. I am an EATER and did not clean my plate at each place, even when I desperately wanted to. Some people in my group had 7:30 dinner reservations (tour was 3 to 6) - that was a joke - no way you could go out to eat after that!!
I would recommend this tour to anyone and will definitely do another one. I HIGHLY recommend this tour if you 1) are new to the area and want to learn about restaurants or 2) you have some guests coming in town and you really aren't sure what to do with them.
