four-star restaurant

In Chinese, a four-star restaurant is referred to as '四星级餐厅' (sì xīng jí cān tīng), where '四星' means 'four stars' and '级餐厅' means 'level restaurant'. This term is used to describe an establishment that has received a four-star rating, indicating a high standard of service and cuisine but not the absolute highest, which is five-star. It suggests that the restaurant provides quality dining experiences without reaching the luxury status of five-star venues.
