The Mobil Star ratings and the AAA Diamond ratings are highly overrated. They send one or two different raters to properties and rate them on the basis of those visits. In some cases they visit just one time. Maybe the rater was having a bad day, had the flu, was angry at his/her spouse, etc. Perhaps the chef or the waiter was having a bad day and didn't do his/her best that one time. These ratings are just a guideline. These days, losing a star is nothing to lose sleep over. I'm sure Le-Bec Fin is just as good as it always was.
