I would suggest using the Places API, but it doesn't really support longtail/keyword queries such as I believe you're looking for. The best it will do is the name parameter, which will compare your given term to the name of the place, and/or the types parameter, which will limit the results to a given genre of place. You can find documentation for these APIs at the links below:
