How I rate restaurants

This is a simple process and I'll try and keep the comments to a minimum. I rate using four criteria - taste, value, ambiance, service. Five points possible in each category, twenty points max overall.

Though our family knows it by it's original name, St. Louis Bread Company, this growing change manages to keep a little of the charm and value we knew of it back in Missouri

I'm more familiar with the sister restaurant, the Edina Grille. Basically the same menu in a different location. Excellent service on a busy night.
