GET /place-details/{place_id} — Restaurant details

Fetch full details for a restaurant by Google Places place_id, including address, phone number, opening hours, photos, and real-time open/closed status.

The /place-details/{place_id} endpoint returns comprehensive information about a single restaurant from Google Places. You supply the place_id from a previous /recommend or /places/top-picks response, and the API returns the full record — address, phone number, website, current opening status, photo URLs, and GPS coordinates. This is the right endpoint to call when a user taps on a specific restaurant and you need to show them a detail view.
