Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Unfortunately the kids meals were rather tasteless, and the chips had some sort of hard item littered throughout (suspect it was broken bits of bone from the ribs). The prices of the dishes was quite expensive, and considering the number of diners compared to the...other restaurants around the area, in hindsight, we should have chosen elsewhere.More
