Why is there a charge for online membership?

In this world you get what you pay for. In the case of Nippers.com you get uncompromising restaurant reviews written by a professional food writer, broadcaster and restaurant critic. Many restaurant web sites are supported by restaurant advertising. It is very hard to separate advertising goals from honest, unbiased assessments of restaurants. Other web sites will sell products, parade banner ads and pop ups and sell your name to different companies. Nippers.com is 100% advertising-free and relies entirely on the support of our subscribers.With a substantial investment in creating, updating and maintaining our web site we have no choice than to charge a modest fee. We hope you will agree that it is worth it and support our efforts.

Only Nippers.com provides uncompromising restaurant and wine reviews, restaurant ratings, recipes from local area restaurants, lunch forums, special events and a unique, in-depth involvement to the Santa Barbara area restaurant community. For our reviews, we visit the restaurant on several occasions, and never accept payment from restaurants for reviews or complimentary meals. Of course, you can get other opinions about restaurants and wine for free on the Web, but we hope that you find these reviews and insight uniquely valuable.
