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 →

A decent brunch place on the strip - the patio option is really nice, especially on a beautiful day. Our server Emanuel really made the experience what it was. He never made us feel rushed, was very accommodating, and sweet.

Exorbitantly priced for what it is; it feels like a really noisy cafeteria—you can't even hear yourself speak. Food isn’t bad thought .

Ismael’s service was good : friendly, attentive, and professional. Unfortunately, the food was very disappointing. The dishes were bland, lacked flavor, and overall did not feel worth the high prices. On top of that, there were construction...

Agostina was welcoming and friendly to my husband and me. She had a lovely smile and was attentive to our needs. The only downside was that they were out of gluten-free bread, which is why I gave it two stars. The atmosphere was pleasant,...

Lovely spot to eat under a parasol. Excellent, professional, and friendly service from waitress Agostina. I would turn the volume down a bit to better hear the surroundings with more relaxing music.
