Embarking on a New Journey: Grading Scale


Here's how I break down my evaluations for each visit:
  • Presentation - will be a combination rating of the following:
    • Plate Arrangement - key in sushi presentation. Is the display simple? Elaborate? Arranged in a specific way? How much of each type of sushi is available, and how is this used in the presentation?
    • Additional Palatables - Are there condiments and palate cleansers aside from ginger and wasabi? How are they presented on the plate?
    • Sushi Variety - is it basic like tuna and salmon, or varied as far as octopus and eel?
  • Ambience - will be a combination rating of the following:
    • Music - Am I hearing ethnic music? Current hits? Is it highspeed or relaxing?
    • Atmosphere - Am I in a club? An executive party spot? Or somewhere more quiet? What colors do I see? What about paintings and other art displays like fountains?
  • Service - specified by the following:
    • Attentiveness in proportion to current customer volume - Is the eatery attending to a many customers at the moment, or only a few? Are they understaffed? Is it easy to get their attention if you need something?
  • Price - The menu pricing, and whether I feel it is in proportion to what was offered.
  • Location - The map address, and whether it is an out-of-the-way spot or in a busy hub.
I hope that these guidelines will help you in deciding which restaurant is more worth your time and money.
