Is ALMA Restaurant worth it?

Smart Spend. Harry scores ALMA Restaurant 89/100 for quality and 84/100 on the Worth It scale for Geelong. No paid placements, no affiliate links — just the arithmetic.

Google and Tripadvisor line up almost exactly here — 4.8 across 867 and 239 reviews respectively — which is real agreement, not a fluke of small sample size. The Yelp number, 4.2, isn't worth weighing against that since it's attached to zero actual reviews. What's odd is the editorial file: an Eater 38 nod and a James Beard semifinalist mention both tagged to Minneapolis, which has nothing to do with a Peruvian spot on Ryrie St in Geelong — that pairing looks like a data mismatch rather than a real credential, so I'd lean on the review consensus and ignore the awards line entirely.
