Introducing Our "Tru" Ratings

What is a Tru Rating?

Our rating system is named after my son Tru. Tru means “loyal” and “honest” and I our ratings reflect that. I hope that our “Tru” ratings connect with foodies by being clear, unique and different. The six “Tru” rating categories are denoted by a full upper case “T ”. They are rated on a scale of 1 to 4 “T’s” with 1 being the lowest and 4 being the highest.

1.) Palate – Cuisine quality.

2.) Assist Me – Refers to the level of service at the restaurant.

3.) Buzz Factor – Relates to drinks and the cocktail menu.

4.) Pretty People – Determines the ambiance and vibe of the restaurant.

5.) Pocket Change, Checking or Savings – Indicates the cost of an average dinner. Pocket Change ($10 - $15 per entrée) Checking ($15 - $25 per entrée) Savings ($25 - $35 per entrée)

6.) I’ll Be Back – Our overall dining experience at the restaurant.


Example Restaurant Ratings:

Palate– TTt

Assist Me – Tt

Buzz Factor – TTT

Pretty People Alert – TTT

Pocket Change, Checking or Savings – Checking

I’ll Be Back – TT

(**note: a lower case “t” denotes a half rating.)

We will be implementing the "Tru" rating system for our reviews this week.
