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 →

Abby our server was excellent. Food was very flavorful. Mint tea and pistachio cheesecake excellent. A bit loud
5★ · 2026-06-28
The food is terrific, the service (Danny) was outstanding. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because the noise level is a bit high making it difficult to hear a person on the other side of the table.
Pricing and Value
Some guests feel that certain dishes or extra charges are too high relative to portion sizes.

Solid meal with some nice elements, though a few things didn’t quite land for me. The food could have used a bit more spice and depth of flavor. While there are sauces available, I felt the dishes themselves would have benefited from a litt...

Food quality and portions don't justify the price.
5★ · 2026-07-09
Had a great time. The experience was lovely and I really enjoyed the shared dishes. It allowed everyone to try something and still leave full. Especially recommend the pita, hummus, chicken snitzel, and spicy feta. Everything was delicious...

We love Motek, but our experience yesterday was really disappointing. We sat for nearly 15 minutes without being greeted, and when I alerted the manager, instead of helping us he told us our server would come soon which took another 5 minut...

The food was great - but our server was disinterested - perhaps the end of a long shift - slow to acknowledge us arriving and pretty inattentive. We flagged a birthday when we made the reservation and checked again on the day but no mention...

We just bought a home in Coral Gables and have been staying in a hotel for three weeks while preparing to move in. During that time, we made the mistake of trying Mortex Mediterranean, and it was an absolute disaster from the moment we walk...
