Our editorial standard
Recommendations you can actually trust.
A five-star rating is helpful but not everything there is to know. In our reviews, we look at trends based on recent feedback, official information, menu, local reputation, value, services, ambiance, and consistency. Our reviewers cover specific regions so that they can compare the cities and their distinctness rather than treat all destinations equally.
Our promise
In case we have personal experience with an establishment, we can include it as additional information. In case of coverage by editorial research, we never claim that someplace was visited personally. Our mission is not to let you know which restaurant is perfect for everyone. We want to help you understand why it is special, who it can appeal to, and whether it deserves a spot on your list.
Human-Led Research
Our regional contributors look into multiple factors before highlighting something.
Local Context Matters
A seafood shack in Maine can't be evaluated in the way a steakhouse in Dallas would be. We take the location of the establishment into account and the demands of its diners.
Current Over Historic Hype
Recent experience is important. When there is a change in quality, service, ownership, or popular opinion, we notice.
Clear About Our Process
Research, opinion, and personal experience are not the same thing. That's part of our editorial standards.
