Historical 88/100 and high confidence retained. This source check qualifies attribution without recalculating the proprietary score or establishing a representative current customer sample.
Score context
The award-publisher guide praises Form + Matter’s technically inventive drinks. Wayne Curtis’s October 2025 visit reaches the opposite conclusion about taste: he criticizes the three drinks he tried and their emphasis on presentation. These conflicting editorial accounts do not establish guest consensus.
