From the editor

We don’t write about restaurants to recommend them. We write because we ate there — sometimes three times — and there are things worth saying out loud. This magazine is our attempt to talk honestly about what works in the city, what doesn’t, and why it changes at the pace it does.

How we work

Editorial policy · Updated 06/19/2026
Q1How do you choose which restaurants to cover?
The editorial team chooses independently. We look at new openings, chef changes, menu updates, and conversations with people in the industry. We don’t accept paid placement. Sponsored content is labelled clearly as Sponsored.
Q2Do restaurants pay to appear in the magazine?
No. An editorial piece is selected by the team alone. A restaurant tagged customer (a Seato customer) can be the subject of coverage, but the review itself is not affected by that. Sponsored content is a separate, clearly-marked surface.
Q3What’s the difference between an open visit and an anonymous visit?
On open visits (chef interviews, opening features) the restaurant knew we were coming. On anonymous visits we booked under a personal name and paid out of pocket. Most reviews are anonymous.
Q4How often are reviews and lists updated?
TOP lists are refreshed twice a year. Single reviews are revisited at least annually and flagged if the chef, ownership, or menu has changed. Visit and update dates appear visibly at the top of every piece.
Q5Can you suggest a restaurant for coverage?
Yes. Send details through our Contact page. We read every suggestion. Suggestions from owners are accepted but don’t take priority over diner suggestions.
Q6Why is a review sometimes updated a month later?
A new restaurant gets a 60-day grace window — the kitchen is still calibrating, the team rotates, the menu shifts. A first review goes out in good faith, and a return visit a month later locks in the final rating.

Once a week. One restaurant.
