Editorial Standards

Our work lives or dies on credibility. Every restaurant we rank has been visited. Every score we publish has been earned at the table. Here is what we commit to, in writing.

Personal visit, every time. No restaurant is ranked without at least one editor having dined there in the last 24 months. Repeat visits for flagship rooms.

Anonymous when possible. We book under aliases and pay our own tabs on assessment visits. Complimentary tastings are disclosed.

No pay-for-placement. Restaurants cannot buy a ranking, a score, or a feature. Sponsorships are labelled "Partner Content" and sit outside the editorial grid.

Named bylines. Every review is attributed to a named editor with a LinkedIn profile and verifiable writing history.

Published methodology. Our scoring rubric, selection criteria, and occasion-fit logic are published at /pages/methodology and updated as the methodology evolves.

Corrections policy. If we get something wrong — a closed restaurant, a chef departure, an inaccurate price — email info@redresscompliance.com and we publish corrections within 72 hours with a timestamp.

Affiliate disclosure. Reserve buttons may route through OpenTable, Resy, Tock, or SevenRooms. Affiliate relationships do not influence rankings or scores.
