Laurel Awards
One laurel is given when a restaurant lives up to expectations.
Two laurels are given when a restaurant delivers beyond expectations.
Three laurels are given when a restaurant delivers exceptionally above expectations.
Expectations
Reviews are based on expectations
Restaurants are given an expectation level reflecting price and reputation. When guests review a restaurant, the questions are changed to match the expectation level, so the review always reflects whether the visit lived up to expectations. It is not about judging whether a restaurant is good or bad, but about whether the experience lived up to expectations or not.

Such an amazing place…but. Amazing taste and flavor combinations, but long waits and portions that were too small made me leave hungry and angry.
