⚠ The ~2025 points are estimates, not recorded prices — projected back from today’s menu using a typical ~4% annual menu-price increase, just to show direction. Today’s figures are the real confirmed baseline. From here, every recheck logs actual prices, so the trend becomes real over time instead of estimated.

How we rank dishes Domingo has no single dominant dish, so we rank by consensus: how many independent sources (OpenTable, Tripadvisor, diner reviews, social media) name each dish. More agreement means a safer first-timer bet.

How we score value Three factors scored independently: food quality (anchored to its 4.7 Google rating and Tripadvisor ranking), the menu’s price tier, and the premium you pay for a River Walk address versus comparable food off-river.

How we track price Every snapshot comes from Domingo’s own published menu and is dated. We only show a trend once there’s real history — never a projected one. Cross-check current discounts for savings.
