In this area

Hi,
What's the difference between in this area and in the neighborhood? For example,
They ate dinner in a restaurant in this area/in the neighborhood.

Thank you very much.

'Neighborhood' has more distinct boundaries than 'area' for those who are familiar with that section of a city. Otherwise, there is no difference in meaning in the sentence you have posted.
