lance, I can't seem that much that would appear to be fake on those reviews - sure, overly "excited" reviews might sound like fake, but it looks more like a relatively fancy restaurant that seems to be enjoyed by some group of clientel.

The reports read quite similar to a place I've visited last week:

And boy, I did enjoy the food there. For restaurant reviews (more than for hotel reviews) it's entirely possible to have a really huge chunk of "great food, great place" reviews...

So far, TA has never failed me on Restaurants completely (ie, advertising good food meant good food, advertising value-for-money meant exactly that, etc.)
