How We Evaluate Restaurants for
Awards:
Award
winners are chosen from among restaurants stretching from Santa Barbara to the
Mexican border that were evaluated by our members during 2011. All were judged
on food, service, ambiance, and appropriate beverages, according to the
organization’s standardized score sheets, which have a scoring range of 1 to 100
points.
The
highest honor, Five Stars, is given to a chosen few, the grandest of the grand,
which receive 95 or more points and are elected by special vote of the members.
In addition, individual awards are voted from among those nominated as
Restaurateur, Chef, Maitre ‘d, Manager, Service Person, and other categories
that are determined by the membership on a yearly basis.
Five
Stars-Our highest honor, requires a special vote of the membership and
the restaurant must have received an accumulative total of nine-five points or
above to be considered.
Four
Stars- are presented to restaurants scoring ninety points or
more.
Three
Stars- are awarded to those restaurants scoring between eighty-five and
eighty-nine points.
Two
Stars- given to locations accumulating eighty to eight-four
points.
Restaurants
opening or that have been substantially reorganized during the evaluation period
and earning eighty points or more are categorized as Promising
Newcomers. Restaurants with limited hours or other unique features may
be recognized with a Special Value or Before Five
certificate. Special recognition is given for outstanding Sunday
Brunch. Corporate-owned restaurants called Multiple
Locations are also listed. Restaurants that are located in the northern
part of California are listed as Recommended without any star
awards.
