‘guten’ is the weak ending used with a definite article; here there is no article, so the strong ending ‘-e’ is required.
Der Restaurant hat gute Bewertungen.
‘der’ would make the phrase a statement, not a question. The interrogative pronoun ‘Welches’ is needed.
Welches Restaurant hatte gute Bewertungen?
‘hatte’ is past tense; the question is about current reviews, so present tense ‘hat’ is appropriate.

Cultural Tip
In Germany people often check ‘Bewertungen’ on platforms such as Google Maps, TripAdvisor, or local sites like ‘Restaurantführer’. A five‑star rating is considered excellent, but many Germans also look at the number of reviews – a restaurant with many moderate scores can be more reliable than one with a single perfect rating. When asking for recommendations, it’s polite to say ‘Entschuldigung’ before the question, especially in formal settings.
