## Overview

Restaurant Finder is a React application backed by a Node/Express REST API for browsing and managing restaurants and reviews. The main workflow is: a visitor opens the restaurant list, selects a restaurant to see its details and reviews, and can add a review; restaurant creation and editing are separate listing-management actions. The README also documents rating display, responsive UI, and validation. Sampled files show the detail and review flow and API/database behavior; some list and update wiring is inferred only from documented capabilities. The sampled client base URL and server default port differ, and the server's database import does not match the supplied tree path.

Main entry points: [`src/routes/RestaurantDetailPage.js`](https://github.com/markkyrollos/restaurant-finder-webapplication/blob/main/src/routes/RestaurantDetailPage.js) (Restaurant detail), [`src/apis/RestaurantFinder.js`](https://github.com/markkyrollos/restaurant-finder-webapplication/blob/main/src/apis/RestaurantFinder.js) (Restaurant API client), [`src/App.js`](https://github.com/markkyrollos/restaurant-finder-webapplication/blob/main/src/App.js) (App router), [`src/routes/Home.js`](https://github.com/markkyrollos/restaurant-finder-webapplication/blob/main/src/routes/Home.js) (Home page)
