Rating System

For the full explanation of how the rating is done

When you go out to eat in a restaurant there are many elements that contribute to your total experience: cause you to leave happy and uplifted or annoyed and disappointed or anything in-between. and the likeliness you’ll recommend this place to your friends. Often these elements are internal (your mood that day) and subjective (your personal odd preferences)  and the rest tend to mix up and mash together. When I go to a restaurant I try to pay attention to the different criteria that I think most matters as well as the overall experience. I came up with my own rating system to tell you all in one last line what is my verdict of a place. It’s about time isn’t it?
