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 →

Hands down the best spot for large group dinners. The $70/person family dinner is probably the best deal in NYC. TONS of food, bottomless wine, dessert, everything. One of my all time favorites.

The food here is excellent and the portions are large. The service was great. We felt well taken care of anf never felt rushed. This was my first time to this restaurant and I think I just found my neighborhood gem! I will definitely be back to try everything on the menu.
