The Lunch rates restaurants on a scale of 4 (abysmal) to 20 (sublime).

 

 

The Lunch Rating Matrix: We rate both the "food" and "other" aspects of restaurants we visit on 1-to-5 scales. An "A" in the top right hand corner, for example, indicates that A has given a maximum score on both counts to the restaurant under review, whereas a "B" in the top left-hand corner indicates that reviewer B does not recommend the restaurant for its food but you might want to go there to check out its décor or service. We tend to disagree about whether beverages fall under "food" or "etc."-A doesn't consider wine food, whereas B does. We'd feel the need to agree on this matter if we were reviewing dinners, but since wine isn't a prominent part of our lunches we've left the inconsistency unresolved!
