Text - Overpriced and nothing special. \nMy $15 margarita came in a small cafeteria-style glass with barely any liquor, definitely not enough to get me lit. The $10 beer helped a little. One bite of my $20 burger made me regret even getting food. \nNext time I get the option to go to Margaritaville, I'm choosing AA instead.

Text - Prices are on the high side, for the quality of food.  I had what essentially was spaghetti with meatballs, and it was not that good.  The meatballs were super dense.  The sauce was too salty and greasy.  I think the pasta was whole wheat spaghetti, which i didn't mind, but I could see some people not liking the texture as compared to regular spaghetti.  My husband had a roast beef sandwich with french fries, which seemed ok.  The server brought the food without bringing any utensils, then went off for several minutes and served another table while we were sitting around waiting with food in front of us.  Kind of awkward.  A plus is the open feel of the place, plenty of seating, especially the outdoors balcony seating has a great view.

Text - So good!\n\nReally, everything here was just so darn delicious, I can't wait to go back. I think the only thing I have seen done 'better' elsewhere is some restaurants have homemade chips, but this is such a trivial thing that is doesn't affect my review at all. The complimentary salsa was wonderfully flavorful and the bean dip was the best I ever had. (I never really understood why beans were served with the chips - who ate that stuff? - until I ate here, and then I couldn't stop eating it!) While we were looking at the menu (the lunch menu), I noticed there was a choice of a complimentary sample of either salsas or toriados. The toriados was described on the menu as fried jalapenos, which didn't sound great, so we decided to ask for the salsas. But when the waiter came by, he automatically brought the toriadoes. When we told him we actually wanted to try the salsas instead, he said no problem, and brought us those as well. Winner! The toriados (which turns out to be both onions & jalapenos sauteed) were phenomenal, tender, delicious, (seriously might be the best sauteed onions ever) and the salsas were great fun to try, with different levels of spiciness, and all with their own flavors behind the heat.\n\nI ordered a combination plate with a chile verde (pork) enchilada, a chile relleno, and a chicken tamale. I was a little surprised that the pork was in chunks instead of shredded, but no worries, it was so tender it didn't matter. Delicious. I actually haven't had a chile relleno before, so I can't really compare it to others. It wasn't my thing - I guess I am not a fan of the breading. But it was still pretty good. And I immensely enjoyed the tamale. It did not have cheese in it, which might disappoint some people, but this made it perfect for me. My husband ordered steak fajitas, and he said they were phenomenal.\n\nWe did also order two rounds of margaritas, rocks, no salt. I know some reviewers thought they were too strong or tasted like pure tequila, but we loved them. The first round was perfectly mixed, but as it was made with standard tequila, it was a little sharp (as expected). We had the second round made with one of the premium tequilas, and it was divine.\n\nThe service was great, and I enjoyed the decor. I liked the bits of hand-painted vines on the walls, and the artwork for each booth. I had been wanting to try Viva Mercados for a long time because of the great reviews, and I am only disappointed that I didn't eat here sooner. Like I said before: so good!

Text - mm YAKI TIME! \nI am a fan of getting the bento boxes. It's more than a full meal for about $7.00: comes with miso soup, salad, rice, your entree choice, and orange slices. I am a fan of the spicy Teriyaki chicken. Woooooohoo, SO spicy.. \n\nAs said before they have plenty of food when you order the bentos. I would prefer getting this over a bowl. It's a great place to just sit and have the dine-in experience without the dine-in experience as you pay first, then eat. \n\nAnother thing, I like having water with all my meals, no matter the meal. And because this place is not considered a sit down restaurant, you get your own drink. Instead of getting some dinky little water cup, they have real, human cups that are open for you to refill again and again when you get the spicy Korean zing!

Text - Just ok. Overpriced, slow service and questionable portions.

Text - If I could give Daily Dose 10 stars, I would!! I have been going to this old town favorite since their doors opened and it has turned into my (almost) weekly happy hour, or breakfast spot! Everything on the menu is fantastic, from their southwest breakfast wrap, to their chicken nachos, to their delicious burgers served on a pretzel bun, you really can't go wrong!! Weekend brunch is PACKED, but don't let the wait, scare you off because it is definitely worth it!!

Text - Julian Serrano is as good as it ever should get...and then some.\n\nIt's in Aria - which I will review under separate cover.  Wow...is all I have to say.\n\nAtmosphere - It's very open and attractive.  The only drawback are these weird black trees without leaves.  Maybe I'm missing the artistic creation of them, but I felt like they were out of place.  There were mounds of fresh veggies on the backsplash - which was really refreshing to see.  Some time was really spent on the floors here.  Tiny tiles in a variety of colors...yellows, oranges, pinks, purples, pearly white.  And it had a pattern to it that was really intricate.  Bonus points for design.  \n\nI am a big fan of smaller tables and more intimate seating when going on a date.  Here, the tables are a bit larger, but they have to be because it is tapas style and you have tons of plates coming out, and then wine glasses...you get the drift.  \n\nPurple napkins.  Stellar.  \n\nOur sommelier came over and we mistakenly thought him as the waiter.  Oops.  He wasn't phased though so based off what we ordered he suggested a wine.  A half bottle in case we didn't like it.  What we didn't know, and d-bag sommelier didn't tell us, is the wine was 990 for a half bottle!!  I'm sorry, but if you expect your patrons to have 990 for a half bottle of wine without running it by them, I find it offensive.  Whether or not we could afford it, is really none of his biz, he should have been more polite to just give us the low down on that.  Fortunately for him the half bottle was amazing (it should be for almost a grand!).  Point of the story, for all those who cannot afford a grand on wine - BE SURE TO CHECK PRICE POINT when sommelier suggests a wine.  A professional one should let you know (discretely if you don't want to offend your date) and I just found that a little obnoxious.  I didn't know until the bill came, and neither did my beau...which was a bit shocking.\n\nAnyway...have the bacon wrapped dates.  Salty, sweet, savory goodness.  Chewy without too much chewy.  I almost died.\n\nI even tried the lobster with pinneapple.  Pretty good, and I'm not a seafood fan AT ALL.  This was something someone would like if they don't really appreciate seafood.\n\nWe also had the beet salad with what I though was lychee.  I said \""this tastes like Hawaii in my mouth\"" and the waitress came over and explained it was pineapple gelatin.  Kudos for my palate being expanded.\n\nStuffed peppers and gosh I don't even know what to tell you because everything was soooo delightful.  It was romantic because we were both feeding each other, and so filling at the same time.  We had about 6 plates and everything was perfectly paced, our wine was superb (we had two half bottles, the second was of something different).  Fortunately the waiter showed my date the price for the second bottle.\n\nThe pan manchego...it's like that saying \""once you go manchego, you never go back\"".  Crazy good.\n\nWe had churros for dessert that comes with some chocolate sauce for dipping.  The chocolate sauce had a hint of some kind of hot pepper (which was a little bit too much for me) but it was good in small quantity.  This is the best churro I have had in my life.  I was soooo full but kept eating it.  We also ordered the creme brule (because I love creme brule)...I wasn't so much a fan.  It was too eggy and not enough sugary.  The consistency was off for me.  Plus it was HUGE!  I like smaller versions of creme brule since it is sooo heavy.  Still, pretty fantastic.  I just wasn't a fan of the consistency.\n\nIt truly was an amazing experience.  Every time we put something in our mouths we just giggled and had our eyes roll back in our head how fantastic it truly was.  It blew my mind.  It blew Joe's mind and his wallet...I don't think he minded too much because it was TRULY that good.\n\nI had to amend and give it four stars because of our sommelier.  If he didn't just ASSUME we (I am putting the Royal we in that sentence) could afford a $1,000 bottle of wine, I would be giving this place more stars.

Classify the case below.
This club embodies what a Las Vegas nightclub should be.  \n\nAs you enter and take in the enormous outdoor dance area centered around a large pool with a bar in the middle, you can just anticipate what craziness will undoubtedly occur here.  There is an indoor area as well.  The dance floor wasn't open inside, but the bars were.  The club is gorgeous and so are the people.  \n\nA group of us four girls went on a Sunday night.  We got there a little after 10 and there was already a line but not too bad.  We waited no more than 20 min. before a guy with a clipboard let us go to the front and comped our entry.  It's good to be a girl!\n\nApparently, the pool is open on Sunday nights and a lot of people come dressed casually.  There were still a lot of people dressed to impress.  And then there were those who couldn't decide and wore board shorts with a dress shirt and tie...  anything goes here really.  By the end of the night, you'll see people in their underwear.  I'm not kidding. \n\nThe music here was all house music on Sunday.  It sucked that the music didn't get good until much later in the night.  Which probably explains why the club got crazy packed by midnight and was still pretty crowded when we left at 3 am.
