  Ratings Guide

All restaurants with table service that I have been to are rated and included in Lu-gats Restaurant Review.  Below is a guide to the ratings and how they can be interpreted.

Food, Decor & Service
Restaurants in Lu-gats are rated on these three attribute categories. Restaurants of all types are rated on the same scale so the local burger joint is rated on the same scale as the finest 5 star restaurants.

Category Ratings Weight % Range Increment Notes
Food 50% 50-100 1 The quality, taste and presentation of the meal. 70 indicates a neutral rating.
Decor 35% 50-100 1 The ambiance, setting and visual appeal of the restaurant. 70 indicates a neutral rating.
Service 15% 50-100 5 The attentiveness, knowledge, promptness and attitude of the wait staff. Service can vary based on the server so the granularity is greater. 70 designates standard service that is neither good nor bad.

Increment refers to the increment or granularity in the ratings.

Price
$ to $$$$$$ where the average cost of a dinner entree and average cost of a meal (appetizer, entree, dessert) is accounted for excluding drinks, tax and tip.

Rating Entree Meal
$ $1-$8 $1-$15
$$ $8-$15 $10-$20
$$$ $15-$20 $20-$30
$$$$ $20-$25 $30-$40
$$$$$ $25-$30 $40-$50
$$$$$$ $30+ $50+

The following describes in words how each of the ratings are reflected.
