Criteria of Restaurant and Dining Out Guide

Criteria of Restaurant and Dining Out Guide
Here's the criteria that I use for the restaurants in this website:

It's quite simple. I ONLY list restaurants that I've patronized and found worthy enough to have taken a souvenir matchbook. Now some of the restaurants were above average, so I note these with a coffee mug (). However, for restaurants that were really GREAT, I note these with two coffee mugs ().

So here are the criteria by which I judge a restaurant (along with weighting percentages):

Quality (60%) (Let's face it, I go to eat food that tastes really good.)
Service (25%) (Hey, I prefer to get our food while it's hot--and my check before interest accrues.)
Price (10%) (Money is only important if you're spending $40 on two ravioli, and how often does that happen except at Au Pere Bis in France)
Ambiance (5%) (Obviously, lace curtains, waiters in tuxedos, and harps playing in the background, or for that matter a hole-in-the-wall place, mean little to me. Sorry, Charley, we don't want tuna with good taste.)

If I haven't listed your favorite restaurant, it's probably because I just haven't eaten there yet. Sorry, but I only list restaurants at which I have eaten. Also, I do not guarantee that any of these restaurants will meet your expectations of good dining or value for your money, nor am I certain of the continued existence and addresses of these restaurants.
