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. 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.

Such a fun vibe! This is a must for all tourists and for locals as well. The food is good, the staff was great from the moment we entered and the music was jammin'. Ask a staff member to tell you about the history of the building... definitely a place to repeat!

a must-visit spot in nyc during halloween season. The place goes all out with amazing halloween decorations that create such a spooky vibe. I’d recommend the buffalo cauliflower and truffle gnocchi - both were really good. The crispy calamari were okay. It’s on the pricier side, but for the atmosphe...
