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.

Food: This is the kind of place that understands abundance without letting the meal feel sloppy. The whole experience works because the rodízio is not just endless meat for the sake of it. The cuts actually eat differently enough to stay in...

Food and service were good but not anywhere worth the price. So many great places nearby that are just as good without spending 100$ a person

Way to expensive for what you get! We ended up paying $300 for dinner because we didn’t know that they charge separately for each dessert and the drinks are expensive too. We could have eaten at Keen’s for the same amount we paid there. Som...

We opted for the Rodzio Full Menu. We enjoyed the entire buffet and dinner. Quality food and service. But then came dessert. I almost fell off care when they told us there was an extra charge for dessert. At $100 per person you think they...

Steaks and service are elite!!! Love this place!

The only somewhat good dish I’ve tried from here is the Brazilian Caramel Flan even though it’s very high in sugar. Every other dish, especially salmon and grilled chicken were very inedible and expensive compared to the quality. In particu...
