A rating scale

I think I need some kind of rating scale for my restaurant reviews. I thought about letter grades, a number on a scale of 1 to 10, or even apples (like the NY1 movie reviewer). But I'm going traditional: stars.

So here's the scale:

" " (no stars) - do I really need to pay for this?

* - unimpressive, no need to return when there are so many other places out there

** - some hits, some misses, might give it a second try

*** - a great meal, recommended to all, I look forward to returning

**** - exceeded all expectations and one of my very favorite places. Please take me here on my birthday

I will now go back and score the restaurants I've already reviewed.
