Using one to four stars, this is Sietseman’s rating system:
*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 generally 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.
****Superlative - an unsurpassed dining experience ; these restaurants do what they do extraordinarily well.
Look’s like we have some new places to try -
