Method
How we review
- We pay. Every reviewed meal is paid for in full. No comped meals, discounts or invitations.
- We stay anonymous. Reviews are published under the pen name Sage Arroyo, and nobody announces a visit.
- One visit, dated. A rating reflects a specific visit, and the date is shown. Return visits update the date and the text.
- What the stars mean. 5: go out of your way. 4: very good, would happily return. 3: fine, with caveats. 2: disappointing. 1: avoid.
- Profiles aren't reviews. Places marked “Not yet reviewed” show facts only, from public sources such as the restaurant's own website and map listings, checked on the date shown.
- No money changes the page. There are no ads or sponsorships. If any business relationship with a restaurant ever exists, it will be disclosed on that listing and will not affect the rating.
