Best Place Score

The Best Place Score is the score we give to the place you're searching from, based on how cool we think the area around it is. If it seems unreasonably low, we probably just haven't added a representative amount of awards yet.

Yumscore

The Yumscore represents our confidence that you'll have a good experience getting something yummy. This raw score is based on awards it's won, and the score on a "Near Something" page represents the score, mixed with a proximity modifier.

Stayscore

The Stayscore represents our confidence that your stay will be an excellent one.

  1. Harbor House Restaurant

    A lumber-company inn perched on the Mendocino coast becomes the stage for Matthew Kammerer's hyperlocal cooking, where foraged seaweed and lichen transform into something approaching philosophy. The sake-poached abalone and wakame ice cream aren't gestures toward sustainability—they are the point, executed with such precision that even the sourdough tastes like it came from the sea.
