It's really up to you as the reviewer to apply what you think is the best label for the situation. That's why we show the majority vote for each category - because there's no one "right" answer for any given restaurant. Hope that helps. =) -John I’d probably choose “fun with friends” for the situation you’re mentioning, though depending on the setting I could also see “business meeting” or “a meal to go” being applicable.

But i guess we can always put that as a caveat in our review? Also, I often catch up with just 1 friend/coworker over a meal... it's neither a "romantic date" nor "fun with friends". What's the best category for that? It's more like small-group casual dining.
