Example: My first experience with Richardson's was actually at the Rokerij.  When I finally got to eat in their newly redone restaurant I became a fan FOR LIFE. My boyfriend and I decided to try to get in last minute on a Saturday night, which in hindsight, was a ridiculous thought. However, on the way out a manager flagged us down and encouraged us to take advantage of their tables in the bar. This actually worked out perfectly and wasn't offered to us by the hostess, but I will most definitely look to sit in that 'hidden' area again.\n\nI ordered their signature dish, the Pasta Heidi, and OH MY GOD. Insane. I didn't understand how pasta could be what put them on the map, but SERIOUSLY this was so good. Green chili pasta, grilled chicken, a yummy cream sauce all served on top of a tortilla. I crave this on a regular basis now.\n\nGreat ambiance with big tables which make me want to host a big dinner their just to utilize the cute space. \n\nThis place is a must, just think about maybe making reservations ahead of time.

Example: Finally went here to try the Frozen Hot Chocolate so I could compare it to Serendipities (see their review). Was only about 2.00 and tasted pretty much the same as the one at Serendipity. Don't waste your money at Serendipity. I also figured out the difference between a Chocolate milkshake and a frozen hot chocolate: The milk shake is made with milk, the frozen hot chocolate is not, its just ice and chocolate mix kinda like a chocolate slush. That's why you get more chocolate flavor in the Frozen Hot Chocolate. \nAnyways, now about this Dunkin.... the service was not very friendly. Additionally, we came here around 1:00 on a Sunday and ordered some doughnuts along with the Frozen Hot Chocolate. Needless to say, the doughnuts were not fresh in the slightest. The hubby said they tasted like they had been sitting around since the day before. Needless to say, I was not very impressed and would rather go to Krispy Kreme for doughnuts and if I ever want coffee, I already know that Dutch Brothers is the best with really friendly service as well.

Example: Like Mike S. here I do my best to look for the silver lining in all things.  I just couldn't find it here.  We ordered delivery.  One chicken & rice soup and two General Tso's chicken (one with spring roll, one with regular roll - both with fried rice).  The fried rice was literally just that - fried rice - no egg bits anywhere to be found.  I've had this combo at a number of Chinese restaurants around the country and every time it has egg bits.  Oh well, moving on... the order, like I said was for one spring and one regular egg roll - guess what came?  Two regular egg rolls.  But that's still not why I give this place 1 star.  The egg rolls were on the small side and I could not finish mine - tasted bad - again I usually can tolerate a lot of variation in how my food is done - I NEVER throw away food - that egg roll I spit out.  But that's still not why I give this place 1 star.\n\nMoving on to the chicken part of General Tso's Chicken - small bits of chicken deeply fried in a ton of breading.  Flavor was in the middle.  The menu marked this as a spicy dish.  I couldn't find any bit of spice anywhere in the flavoring.  Almost had a barbeque type flavoring to it - nothing like any GTC I've had in the past at a number of Chinese takeout/delivery places.  Not a good dish at all - again I NEVER throw away food... I threw this away - not even for leftovers!  My wife did the same after about 6 bites.  But that's not why I give this place 1 star.\n\nNow - remember I ordered a chicken & rice soup?  Well, what we got could not be described as a soup.  Think more like chicken & rice casserole.  There was water in there - but it was soaked up by all the rice - which looked very pasta-like... and not like \""rice\"".  I'll try to upload a photo so you can get an idea.  Anyway, my wife loves soup - this was not soup.  To add to this, they threw in fried wontons - which every Chinese restaurant does for their soups.  You use them to soak up the water/oil in the soup to \""thicken\"" it.  Was this a joke?  I called them up and according to the person that answered the phone \""that is how we make it\"".  I asked why give the fried wontons then?  Silence.  She said next time I order just say you want it more \""soup like\"".  Let me get this straight - when I ordered \""soup\"" I need to specify I want it more \""soup like\""!?  For my dissatisfaction I was offered 10% off the next time I order.  Yeah, there will be no next time.\n\nThe soup that isn't soup debacle - this is what truly gives this place one star.  You've been warned. :)

Example: It's not ok to have me wait in the front of the building for my meal after waiting in the drive through 10 minutes to order and pay for it.

Example: La Bocca has 309 reviews as of the date I am writing this . . . so what can I tell you that is different and unique about this Urban Pizzeria and Wine Bar to make you want to try it . . . if you haven't already?  \n\nI have to admit I never have eaten one of their pizzas, nor have I ever had a glass or two of wine here. The first thing I ordered on my first visit was their Heirloom Beet Salad. I love beets and never buy or cook them at home. Most restaurants, that do serve them, have absolutely no idea how wonderful and versatile they can be, nor how to prepare them properly. \n\nI understand that everything else they serve is excellent . . . but I may never get a chance to try any of them. I will continue to eat the Heirloom Beet Salad until they remove it from the menu, or until I totally burn out on it!  Naught! Doubtful, very doubtful.

Example: The caldo de res was to die for.  Maybe it's just the morning sickness, and this actually was appealing and stayed down, woohoo!  But it just hit the spot.\nWe were in the strip and getting hungry.  Fortunately I needed to make pozole so we found ourselves at the meximart at lunchtime.  It was too cold to sit outside and eat tacos so we headed downstairs for Casa Reyna.  It was a little funny, with the typical Mexican decor (wanted posters, corrugated metal \""roof\"" over the bar, etc), but real napkins, etc.  We got the typical quesadillas for the kids and I got soup, my honey got tacos.  No free chips and salsa, but we ordered some and the chips were thick and crunchy and the salsa was small but good.  \nThen the soup arrived.\nOh.my.god.\nSo it's now my new favorite.  \nHoney's tacos were good, the quesadilla was \""meh\"" so we'll order something different when we come back because I loved the soup and we're going back.  I'm sure I might eventually order something else, and I'll report what everyone else gets, but for now (and for probably the next six months until this baby stops making me throw up) it's soup for me.\n(Ok, so the menu had a lot of your authentic options like four different types of mole, chilaquiles, regional dishes, etc - highly recommend if you want a better taste of Mexican cuisine.  They even had an elote dish as an appetizer, which I might get....with soup ;)

Classify the following: Prob the worst dining experience I've had. Overpriced. Empty (it's obvious why - first RED FLAG). Sub-par food, even worse service. Stopped in because I wasn't in the mood for sushi or pizza, which are the only other options in the plaza. Ate half of my bland sandwich, the chipotle chicken (WHAT CHIPOTLE!?), and left. \n\nI stopped at McDonald's on the way home. And you know what? Even though I regretted that, it was still a huge step up from this dump. Try at your own risk...
