Each one is a guess about who a review is thanking, with the words it matched on. Confirm it and it counts on the board. Reject it and it never does.

The room is lovely and the pacing was perfect. Katherine Milburn made a recommendation that was better than what we came in for. Still thinking about the aged beef course. A 6:15 booking for 2 and not a single thing went wrong. We will be back.

The staff board

Confirmed credits only. 89 attributions are still waiting to be confirmed and are not counted here. A credit nobody confirmed is a guess, and a guess should never settle who won the month.

Nothing has been confirmed yet. The board fills in as the queue above is worked through.

Worth a look

Patterns in the reviews themselves, put in front of a person to read. None of this is an accusation and none of it touches anyone’s standing. Read the reviews side by side and decide what it is.
