Example: Best way to put our experience there into words? Bipolar. We went for a prom dress. Poor customer service (other than the consultants who were great, that's why I rate 2 stars, one each for each consultant we worked with, the store itself and other staff get a zero), turning away people 40 min prior to close, guess they don't want to work one minute past 7pm = lost sales/revenue, restocking holds even after calling to say we were coming to get it prior to closing, 5 minute alterations taking over an hour (a brides bustle apparently trumped us, we learned this later, we were willing to pick up the dress another day but were asked to wait). Here's our experience if you care for details...visit one, Saturday morning...we walked in and saw prom/bridesmaid etc. to our left and migrated towards the dresses. Okay, yes, the was a little podium to our right with a woman standing there, but didn't think anything of it (assumption was made, that she is there for women with bridal fitting appointments). She didn't say a word to us. We perused the dresses, pulled some, even asked someone at the sales counter if a certain dress was available in another size somewhere (was told what was out was what they had and that was fine). Still, no one mentioned to us that in order to try on the dresses, we needed a junior consultant working with us (everyone is apparently supposed to check in with the lady at the podium). They had 2 opportunities to assist us with the process and ignored us. Anyway, we go \""sign in\"", the lady at the podium barks over the intercom for a consultant and my daughter is taken to a fitting room. I will say this, the stylist/consultant was very nice and very kind. We put 2 dresses on hold, since this was the first store we visited and headed to some other stores to shop. When it became clear, around 5pm that the dress she wanted was one of the ones at David's, I called to let them know we were coming for it and not to restock it. They said great and we headed back in that direction. When we got there at 5:30, the dress had been restocked. They couldn't find it in the \""on holds area\"" WTH? I didn't complain, just glad it was still THERE, albeit on the regular sales rack. My daughter tried it on again and we noted the hook and eye closure was broken and there was a seem pull on the back as well. Again I will say, the consultant this round was very nice and kind as well, just as much as the first, even helping my daughter find matching shoes etc. and getting the minor alterations done on the spot. Or so we thought. Here's where I need to complain. The alteration lady took the dress to the back, and after about 20 min, we inquired what was taking so long. Our consultant was kind enough to go check for us and came back and said she was currently working on it, We had dinner plans, it was after 6 at this point so we said we could come back for it. The consultant seemed miffed at that and asked us the wait, since the alterations were being done, right then, and the alteration lady was taking the time to do it immediately and putting other things aside for us. We felt bad, and stuck around. BAD idea. At 6:20, still waiting, a prom girl comes in and tries to check in with the podium and is TURNED AWAY, the woman there tells her that since they close at 7pm, she won't have time to try on dresses. WTH again?! There is 40 minutes left to pick and try on dresses! Our visit that morning was only 40 minutes? Lost sale opportunity. We witnessed this again 10 min later, this time with a bride and her bridesmaid seeking bridesmaids dresses. At 6:45, we were done...late for dinner, it had been an hour, when finally, the alterations woman comes out. She was apologetic at least, telling us a bride's bustle had to jump in front of us. Another WTH moment! We were fine picking it up another day but were told she was working on it and asked to wait. A very frustrating moment indeed. Someone should have come and told us that, we would have left and come back. Overall, their consultants, who I'm sure work on commission, were motivated, friendly and helpful. The other staff were horrible! What's also bad for this location is I am a bride and haven't begun my dress search but perused a little while I was there, even mentioned I was a bride, totally went on deaf ears. Another lost sale opportunity. We will never shop here again.

Example: Okay, well to begin I should note that I called ahead and ordered lunch to-go, so i didn't get the entire experience. However, the food was tasty enough to receive 5 stars.\n\nI ordered the lunch entree Cashew with chicken. It was seriously amazing. I enjoyed it in the lobby cafe of my place of work. A nice lady even asked where I had gotten my lunch from. I was only into my second bite when she asked.. then she kindly said \""I'll let you finish your meal\""\n\nMy entree came with chicken, red peppers, onions, carrots, broccoli in a sweet chili sauce.. Oh & rice + 1 Rangoon. On the phone, they asked for my preference of spiciness. Since the sauce was already sweet chili, I thought it was already have a kick. The sauce itself was mild. Next time I'll add a little spice to it. \n\nWith that being said, even those who can't enjoy spicy food can enjoy Nicky's. For instance, the security guard who also chatted with me during my lunch brought up that his stomach cant handle spicy. I informed his that the sauce was honestly mild and you can choose the level of hotness you'd like.\n\nI will definitely be back to enjoy lunch here (most likely take out due to my lunch schedule) My fiance would most likely love Nicky's  as well!! We'll head here for dinner one night and I will update.

Example: This place was featured on Diners and Dives, so we had high expectations.  We had 4 types of tacos and a shrimp burrito.  The carne asada tacos were the best ones, but the meat was a bit dry.  The lengua was alright but the pieces were too big.  The shrimp burrito had very few small shrimp in it.   We live in Scottsdale, and I don't think we'll make the trip to eat there again.

Example: Cafe Du Jour is a delightful, unpretentious little deli restaurant seemingly set away from the craziness of East Carson Street. I went to lunch here with a few friends on a weekday, and it was totally empty. The menu is simple, mostly soups and sandwiches, but the herb-roasted pesto chicken sandwich I had was absolutely delicious (and only $6.50!) My friend gets the baked brie, apples and raspberry honey every time she comes here, and she graciously let me have some - it was quite tasty. I can't wait for the snow to melt, because the outdoor enclosed patio in the back looks sublime.

Example: A fabulous cocktail bar right next to a cool bottle shop. From the outside it looks plain and you can easily miss it. Look for the blue doors and walk into a low lit bar with lots of places to sit and or stand and sip a cocktail or few. \n\nThe menu is extensive and there are a few bearded bar tenders mixing up a great variety of cocktails. There are cocktail specials on the boards and an extensive cocktail menu. \n\nThey do serve food here however as we did not eat here cannot comment on the food. The crowd is generally a little bit older and probably over 25 rather than under. \n\nI would happily come back here for an evening with friends and spend a lot of money trying different cocktails. It's not cheap but well worth the money. \n\nThe service is excellent and they even replaced one of the cocktails on a mere notion that it did not taste right. They did go our of their way to please and that is always a hallmark of a good bar.

Example: Today was a cold Wisconsin Sunday, and I decided I needed noodles and broth. We decided to try out Wah Kee, since neither of us had been there before.\n\nWow, this place has been here for 25 years. How had we not been here before? \n\nWe started off with a couple appetizers: the spring rolls, which were tasty, but I generally don't care for fried spring rolls, the kim chee, which was spicy and good, and the pork bun, which was huge. My husband's more of a pork bun aficionado than I, and he seemed to like it.\n\nFor our entrees, I got the Ginger, Scallion and Wonton Noodle Tong Mein, and it was just what I wanted: clean-tasting, ginger-spicy, with several good-sized shrimp and pork wontons. My husband got the Szechuan Dam Dam Noodles, which were spicy, but looked a little greasy to me. He seemed to like it, though. We both left thoroughly stuffed.\n\nOh, and I also fell desperately in love with guava juice. We will be back, for sure!

Example: After driving by Macado's countless times, we decided to give it a try on a rainy Sunday. At 1pm, it seemed relatively quiet. We were seated quickly; our server came over quickly and got our drink orders. She came back with the drinks and took our food orders. We ordered an appetizer of the warm pretzels; my dining companion ordered the black & blue salad; I ordered the pretzel dog.\n\nAfter that, things went downhill. It took a while for our appetizer to show up (warm pretzels, not bad, 3.5/5 stars.) We finished them, we finished our drinks, and we sat. The table near us that was seated after us, and also ordered appetizers, was served their entree. We sat with empty drinks. We sat. And then we sat. \n\nEventually, our server showed up with our entrees, with a weird self-deprecating \""FINALLY! Here it is!\"" It was strange, like she was acknowledging how frustrating it was that the food was slow, but not an apology. Odd. Since the menu said they served homemade chips, I had ordered my pretzel dog with chips. I figured they'd be homemade. It came with a bag of Ruffles. A bag of Ruffles is fine for a quick-stop deli, but this seemed like the sort of place where they'd at least put the chips on the plate. The pretzel dog was ... okay. The menu said \""1/4 lb dog\"" and while I'm not going to weigh my food, this seemed smaller than that. The pretzel wrapped around the dog was tasty, but they'd put the whole thing on a grill for a while, so that one side of the pretzel had become dark and hard and barely edible.\n\nThe whole experience just seemed like the entire restaurant staff - the servers and the cook staff - were just phoning it in. I was disappointed - what I'd hoped would be a quick lunch ended up taking about an hour; the food was OK but nothing special. It's possible that they were having an off day, but frankly there are enough good dining options in the University area that I don't see a reason to return to give them another shot.

Example: I would suggest not going to this place. The service is terrible. We had a coupon from the radio shopping show to try this place out. They would not honor the coupon and ruined the night for everyone involved. It is a mystery why they would take the effort try to drum up business by putting out a coupon and then be so rude about not honoring it. They lost my business forever.

Considreing the above, classify the following: I popped into this location to pick up some makeup for my niece. The saleslady on the floor showed me their \""kid\"" selection, and there were quite a few nice things that I picked up.\n\nThe sephora is pretty standard. Tons of people out shopping for Christmas, but the staff was on it. \n\nAt checkout, Alyse helped me and she was such a darling. I told them they were for my niece and she wrapped the makeup so cute and included gift receipts without my having to ask. Super nice girl.
