From my habits, I've found you really don't get the full picture using one platform. Google Users will review a restaurant in a completely different way than Yelp users. Zomato users are looking for different things than say a facebook user. That's why they all have different average scores.

2. Copying review results does not violate the terms of services. https://www.quora.com/Is-it-legal-to-use-review-information-...
