What it does
Give the node a restaurant ID, and it returns one item per review with the content, overall rating, reviewer name, dined-at date, and submitted-at date. It also works as an AI Agent tool, so an agent can read restaurant reviews on demand. This is useful for reputation monitoring and hospitality research.
