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 →

Hard to choose between the two Peruvian sister restaurants. But given my experience at Apollo’s & Jarras, I would suggest either are a safe bet. Amazing food. Large portions. Excellent drinks with original Peruvian beer (Cusqeña) and Pisco...

We had a terrible experience at this establishment. Really bad customer service! We waited for over 40 minutes before they informed us that they could no longer accommodate us due to overcrowding. To make matters worse, they didn’t even pro...

The staff provided terrible service. We were a group of 15 people and they made us wait outside before letting us in. While we waited, they refused to give us a glass of water even though it was incredibly hot in Miami! After waiting for ov...

They made us wait far too long and let many people go ahead of us, giving us excuses and poor communication. They treat us like we're the worst customers. I've been coming here for years and I feel attacked. On top of everything, the staff...

Sorry but $40 for a mediocre chaufa is unacceptable. If you're going to charge $40 for that dish, it needs to be stupendous. Granja has a better chaufa for less than $15 And don't get me started comparing La Perla... For less than $25, y...

Oscaldo was so attentive and gave us great recommendations! For 3 pax, we ordered one sushi roll (has 24k leaves), 1/2 rotisserie chicken with sides, and a ceviche to share. Everything was great except for the ceviche. They mentioned that i...

While the food did not disappoint, from the moment we asked for a table away from the speakers for our young children, it was like we were invisible. Our server didn't come to take our order - I had to flag down a manager. And he only came...
