Example: I wanted to leave a four star review. This is shoe repair, leather dying, upholstery, etc. How can this be a five star service? So I tried to figure out a way it could be better....\nI first met John, the owner, at a Christmas trade show. He had Elephant skin boots and they were half as much as I thought they should have been, so of course I bought them. I had a pair in the eighties pre-ban and they were the best boots I ever owned. I had the soles rebuilt four times and the uppers once and I was so sad through the nineties and 2000s that I ever let them go. \nNow the sad part. These new Elephant skin boots were UNCOMFORTABLE! I thought they'd break in, I thought I was just used to cushioned shoes, something would improve. Nope. They hurt my feet. I thought maybe John could stretch them so I took them back. He new exactly what was wrong, added two pieces to the heel to take pressure off the top of the foot and bingo! Great Boots. How did John understand so much about podiatry and leather all at once? Since then I've bought sting ray boots, kangaroo boots and even ostrich boots. My Franklin Covey day timer got loved to death and he rebuilt it and dyed it a better color. The prices have always been reasonable, even with high end exotic materials. The turn around has never been more than two days, usually one. He's never freaked out when I forgot to pick something up. I won't go anywhere else. I can't think of a way he could improve. So that's why a leather man gets five stars.

Example: I love buffets.  Dude, I would eat SO MUCH that walking would be painful.  I'd eat so much I'd be full for an entire 24 hours or even longer.  Yup, that's how much I gorged myself at Las Vegas Buffets.\n\nJust two days ago, my malicious, self-indulgent overfeeding came to an end.  Oh my gosh, the food here is mediocre at best!!!  I went here just last December and I thought it was pretty good.  I came here again this week and couldn't finish anything I got!\n\nAgain, my friend and I tend to go to restaurants in the transition time between bfast and lunch, so we caught the last end of the breakfast buffet and the beginning of lunch there. .. it was exciting cos it was like getting two meals in one.  However, both were disappointing.\n\nThe Chinese bbq pork (I know, what am I doing trying to eat dim sum at a casino restaurant. . .it spells disaster).  I didn't even attempt to eat it, cos once I took it out of the bamboo box steamer, the soft white bread became rock hard.  The fried chicken was dry and tough, the fish was dry and flavorless.  The only things I managed to finish were the shrimp cocktails and the ribs, both of which I can name twenty other places where I can get the same or better.\n\nDude, I can't even remember what else I got. The sushi was lame, the the spicy tuna handroll was pretty good, and their freshly baked breads were all good.  Except you don't go to buffets to eat bread. . .that's like filling your stomach up with water!  Blasphemy!  The Italian and Mexican fare were all unmemorable and the desserts were whatever.  The bread pudding looked dry and the only dessert my bf and I managed to finish was the spiced apple walnut cake.\n\nWe're gonna try to Rio Seafood Buffet next time (we heard good things about it) or the Paris buffet (the bf remembers their kabobs and crepes with quite fondness)

Example: The best reason to go is the awesome back patio at Bar St-Sulpice. This is the prettiest little beer garden you ever did see, surrounded on three sides by the four story ivy covered walls of the surrounding brick buildings. The patio/garden is filled with tables and chairs all surrounding a big tree and lit low. Of ample size, this corner of Montreal is easily one of my favorites.

Example: I was expecting more here, nothing really to write home about much better burgers elsewhere e.g. Zinburger.

Example: Food is still Chicken Bonz but the prices have gotten ridiculous no combos and \""the home of all you can eat wings everyday\"" is now only on tuesday plus the price went up.  Besides, this new name/place sounds like a sex club or something. BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL CHICKEN BONZ!!

Example: We found this place through Priceline and were pleasantly surprised. The suites were of decent size, the furniture was comfortable and the bed was terrific - an enormous king. The price was right, the service was fine, the hot tub was close, and we didn't hear ANY other guests though the parking lot would suggest it was half-full on a weekend in February.\nSome negatives: the lighting in the kitchen was of the atrocious/squint-inducing fluorescent variety, and the \""efficiency\"" fridge was anything but: while I opened it twice in our whole weekend, it ran constantly. Tsk tsk, energy-efficiency-wardens.  Thankfully there was a door to close off the bedroom from the rest of the suite.\nI'd go back though as the price is right and the location was fine. No noise from the road or neighborhood at all.

Example: I came here for my brother's engagement dinner, b/c our friend picked it out based on high yelp reviews. Sorry Yelp, you let us down a bit. On the plus side, the cocktail menu is huge, and the bartender is quite talented. I had a terrific Sazerac. On the other hand, the vibe is very snooty (wine and cocktail list are presented on an ipad, which is a cute gimmick, but kind of a pain to flip through), and the servers were as well. The food menu is quite limited and the cuisine was all heavy meat. My brother and I are vegetarian and they didn't have a single vegetarian entree. I muttered to him that, if the chef is good, he could whip something up, and the waitress overhead and chimed in, \""he is very good\"". No he's not. The recommended appetizer was a slow poached egg with potato and shaved black truffle--sounded fantastic, but the flavors were way off. Somewhere between an ashtray and used cat litter. The special entree was no better and not filling either. The chef seems to heavily favor bitter, smokey, and highly acidic flavors and food was not balanced and totally lacking in seasoning. Coming from Northern California, where there are lots of great, great restaurants, it was painful to spend this much money on a meal that was so mediocre. I suppose if the idea of a $120 steak with bone marrow is your thing, then maybe this is your restaurant (although those who ordered it weren't raving about it). I am not familiar with the Vegas scene, but think that you should be able to get more creative, local, and flavorful cuisine for far less money than what we paid.

Example: I love taking my baby to gymboree. It has been a great experience. I feel that it has really accelerated her development and learning. \nIt is now under new management and is undergoing changes. I will update my review again after everything settles. Miss Chris was the previous owner and was amazing. She lead every class and provided a ton of developmental information and enthusiasm. I think she will be hard to replace.\nThe best thing about gymboree was that you had unlimited classes. I could take my baby 4 days a week plus open gym for 60 something a month. They are supposed to get rid of that feature in April, if they do, then I will probably cancel my membership. I think having unlimited keeps more students in the class which enhances my babies interactions and learning. When she was in level 2, there were very few babies and most classes were empty, this made me wait to sign up for level 3, where there were more kids and more fun. Also, my work schedule keeps changing and I have different days off, it is way more convienent to pick and choose what class I go to. I do not see why it matters if you go to more than one class, the instructors still need to be there so I am not sure how they will save money. Anyways, that's just my 2 cents. I hope it stays unlimited so I have a great place to take my baby.

Classify the following: I'm a huge fan of diners, but gotta be honest I wasn't too crazy about this one. Our server was awesome, super friendly and helpful in answering questions, but the food I ordered wasn't too great.\n\nI ordered biscuits and gravy (the full order, which I have to add is ALOT and barely ate half of it) and some country potatoes on the side. \nI felt like there was just a lot of flour going on in my food- kinda bland no flavor. The country potatoes were the best part and my pepsi. \nThe overall consensus at the table was it was decent not bad, just wouldn't go out of my way to grab a bite there in the future.\n\nMaybe I should have went with chorizo?
