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

- 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.

APPALLING! After insistently asking us if we wanted an aperitif, they finally brought us our carafes of water. Then the manager burst in, making a scene because, according to her, "When you come to a restaurant, you can at least order a dri...

Where to begin? The service at this restaurant is simply appalling, with the owner constantly hovering around her employees, who seem terrified. This woman is just haughty and has absolutely no customer service skills. She flatly refuses to...

The waiter and waitress weren't very pleasant. Whatever you do, don't move the table or you'll get a dressing-down... There are too many tables inside, making it impossible to have a private conversation. Avoid this place if you're looking...
