The first three lists (Gold, Zagat, Gayot) contribute to the score depending on the ranking or rating. Eater only acts to qualify restaurants if they also appear on at least one other list. A combined list of all Eater restaurants since October 2013 is compiled since the list changes quarterly.
The first three lists have been normalized to 3 points max and 2 points minimum. Eater is worth 1 point regardless of position, since it's not really a ranking. Eater only acts to qualify for the list because not appearing on this or any other list will also give 1 point. Therefore the minimum score is 5... 2 (from one of the first three lists) + 1 (from Eater) + 2 (for not appearing on the other two lists). The maximum score is 10: 3+3+3 (being at the top of all of the first three lists) + 1 (with or without Eater).
Stars are my personal rating. I feel like my ratings are more objective than those coming from foodies, because I don't even like food. By the way, my ratings here are harsher than what I would give on Yelp. Most Yelp scores are between 3-5 where as here they will go all the way down to 1 star (didn't like it)...2 stars (eh), 3 stars (good), 4 stars (really good), 5 stars (great).
