Zagat's may help:

Sign up for the free service; that will allow you to search by type of
cuisine, neighborhood, features. You apparently won't get ratings, but
you do get reviews, and many restaurants have pictures and menus
online. Look for some places you're interested in, then maybe come
back here and ask about a few specific places.
