Depends where it's located. If Canada, could be goodeats.ca. If US, goodeats.us. But .com is what is best for a commercial site.

Perhaps a variation on the rest name? What's the name of the rest?

For example, if rest is called Greasy Spoon, and greasyspoon.com is unavailable, you could use thegreasyspoon.com or greasyspoondiner.com or greasyspooninc.com.
