Final Rating

5.0

Based on 9 platforms ·

⚡ Before you panic: a lower score does not mean a bad place to eat! Newer spots or those with fewer reviews get their score pulled towards 3.5 — our "we're not sure yet" zone, not a judgment. Think of it as the rating being cautious, not critical. As more people review, the score relaxes and reflects reality. And no venue is shown below 8.0/10, so if you see an 8.0, go for it — your taste buds won't regret it.

Bayesian Prior

A "safety-belt" average — it pulls each platform's rating towards 3.5/5 when there are few reviews, and releases the pull as the review count grows. This keeps new entries with only a handful of reviews from sitting at artificially perfect scores.

Wilson Lower Bound

A "confidence floor" for the rating — it factors in statistical uncertainty and returns a safe minimum score, calculated directly from the observed rating so the Prior is never counted twice. With few reviews it drops more; with many reviews it nearly matches the raw average.

Review Confidence

How much each platform counts. Confidence rises quickly at low review volumes and levels off at 99% from 5,000 reviews (7.7% at 100 reviews, 58.4% at 1,000, 86.2% at 2,000): more reviews mean more credibility, but with diminishing returns. Hover over the rating to see the confidence for this venue's total number of reviews.

Each platform's score is 30% Prior + 70% Wilson. The platforms are then averaged using their Review Confidence as weights, and converted to a 0–10 scale with a published minimum of 8.0/10. That 0–10 result is the score you see; a more precise version of it works behind the scenes to rank venues.
