How to choose safely
Rankings are a starting point. For this category, these are the checks that most often separate a useful recommendation from a risky one.
Restaurants change fast. Recent reviews and photos matter more than old popularity signals.
Confirm ambience, parking, reservation rules, family-friendliness, and menu availability before going.
Repeated comments about service speed, cleanliness, portions, and pricing are more useful than one viral review.
