We cover a detailed restaurant review and a meal review which can be found here. Our restaurant price structure follows the general format:
- $ = Inexpensive, usually $10 and under
- $$ = Moderately expensive, usually between $10-$25

We also try to relay how spicy or heat level a meal is using the Scoville rating scale. Below is an example to guide our description:
