How the order is decided

Tables with three or more member reviews rank on their King's Score — a trust-weighted 0–100 built from real diners and never from us — and always sit above the unreviewed field. Everything still In contention is held in a provisional, stable order until the Court weighs in. Arrows show movement since last week. Featured tables are labelled and never outrank an earned score.
