A score is one part of the choice
Soothr’s 4.8 and Noodletown’s 4.1 describe different places and different numbers of Google reviews. They do not compare the same dish. Use the current menu, a recent review and the distance from your plans together.
Named menu prices give an ordering reference, not a promise about the final bill. A diner’s older wait is an account of that visit. Check the current menu and any booking conditions before travelling.
