How we grade....

Hello Readery Readers,

I had someone ask me; How a fancy restaurant can get a 3.7 but a homey little bar could walk away with a 3.9? 

When we do the grading we rate a particular location based on our experiences at other similar locations. So the questions we pose; Does it meet our expectations for this type of establishment? How is the service? What could they do different or better? Does the food taste good? 

Here is the scenario I offer you, I have eaten like a Queen at a seaside shack in New Hampshire, and I have been made sick to my stomach at a 4 star restaurant. Taste is subjective and it is personal. We try to pin down the things that get our attention. We also try to go a little outside our comfort zone occasionally.

Do we make errors? Sure! 72$ worth of pasta anyone?! We are learning on this adventure too! We understand an establishment can just have a bad day, and we try to note that. Waitress mentions a new chef? We take note.

We are so thankful to those that take the time to read and chime in. This blog is such a fun project for Himself and I, so to our readers (all 3 of you! 😄) thanks for coming along for the ride. Next week we are adventuring to York county to see what nummies we can chase up.

In good taste,
Herself

Forks for flavor (fairly self-explanatory, does it taste good, this is an average of both of our meals, appetizers)

Forks for atmosphere (are their bugs inside, is the decor nice, are the seats comfortable)

Forks for location  (Is there plenty of parking? Were there dead hookers outside? We try not to punish for distance)

Forks for service (Was the wait staff/ hosts pleasant? Did they anticipate our needs? Were they attentive?)

Forks overall (add them all up, divide by 4)

We are thinking of adding forks for your value. Let's face it, money can be tight and if I know I can eat out at a reasonable price for good food? I want that!
