How this score works

The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.

Burst
— an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
Low activity account
— the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
Duplicate text
— the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.

Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

The Galician-style octopus was very good and a large portion, the hamburgers and the bao were excellent, and the waiters were attentive and very helpful.

5★ · 2020-03-02

The dish of the day (creamy rice) was very tasty, but the cheesecake at the end overshadowed everything else. Creamy, a good portion, and with a cookie crust that was simply divine. 10/10. I'd go back just to gain weight from the cheesecake...

Space Limitations and Tight Seating

Some reviewers find the dining area small, crowded, and occasionally uncomfortable due to tight aisle space.

The space was small, although the dinner wasn't bad, where we sat was quite uncomfortable due to the lack of space.

4★ · 2020-02-23

Good quality food, more than acceptable portions, and excellent service. Space at the lower tables is limited, but the service more than makes up for it. Parking is difficult!

Rising Prices

Several reviewers mention that prices have significantly increased over time for certain dishes and items.

It's always been one of my favorite places, but they raised the prices drastically and removed a lot of items from the menu, including more affordable options for those of us who can't always spend so much. At least I have to say that every...

3★ · 2021-08-29

A huge disappointment. We hadn't been able to go for a while and found they'd changed the menu and significantly increased the prices. But on top of that, they charge more for some things than the menu price. For example, the "papas arrugad...

Reservation Issues

A few reviewers report frustration with mishandled bookings, table prioritization, or arriving to find issues with their reserved slots.

We booked 4 days in advance, specifying a table upstairs with a sofa due to mobility issues, and upon arrival they told us they couldn't give it to us because they were prioritizing a reservation for 4, since there were only 2 of us. Everyo...

I booked a table on Friday for lunch on Sunday, and then on Sunday at 11 a.m., they called to tell me it had been a waiter's mistake and that they didn't have any room inside, that I could only sit on the terrace. That's not true, because I...
