Ratings are based primarily on food quality but take into account service and ambience. Restaurants that earn no stars are rated poor.
* Satisfactory
Restaurants that are useful to know about if you are nearby; they may have only a few dishes or a single quality, such as a view or atmosphere, to distinguish them.
** Good
Restaurants with gen-erally appealing cooking, service and settings; they tend to be worth driving across town for.
*** Excellent
Rewarding destinations, no matter where you're coming from; they typically blend high-quality cooking with the environs and service to match.
**** Superlative
An unsurpassed dining experience; these restaurants do what they do extraordinarily well.
