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.

Expectation levels
