Text - We wait for one hour or more. They bring the food, was cold and nothing really good, expensive for the kind of food they have. Awful very disappointed, we came here for the good reviews but was not true.

Text - By far my favorite restaurant in Charlotte.  Its not a weekly stop because frankly I need a place to live and a car to drive (and eating here all the time would make me poor) so its reserved for special occasions, or a once every few months becasue I miss it so much and have to go back, type of place.\n\nThe menu changes seasonally, except for some standards like the mussels and the roast chicken entree.  I like that it changes except for when I've had something so delicious I want it the next time I go and its gone =(\n\nFavorites have been the monkfish with lobster tempura and bok choy, a mixed greens salad with sweet potato fries, the pea soup, the corn soup, the lemon mascarpone cake (I dream about this), striped bass, flounder, the grouper with \""clam chowder,\"" the cosmos, I swear they make them the best I've ever had.  I could go on and on but I honestly can't remember every dish I've ever had what I do know is not once have I left and felt like my meal was medicore.\n\nService is professional but also not pretentious.  I love when a server jokes around with the table but is not so intrusive that they act like we're all new BFF's.  And that is exactly how they deliver at Barrington's.\n\nYes its small and yes its pricey but like I said its not a daily/weekly type place to eat out at.  I went in May and June and now that I am talking about it my stomach started growling and I want to go now!!

Text - We showed up out of the blue on Valentine's night looking for food. We got a seat at the sushi bar right away, but the place was otherwise packed. I guess we were lucky. We passed on the V-day prix-fixe menu and decided to order as we ate.\n\nOur waitress was visibly perturbed by my wife's order of tap water to drink and vegetable tempura to start. Judging by her expression, she took us for deadbeats; it wasn't offensive but hilarious, we're old enough to be confident in our own opinions of ourselves. Anyway, the vibe at the W was definitely people trying hard to be cool and of-the-moment.\n\nIn any event, we struck up a conversation with the chef behind the bar where we were sitting. We initially ordered some basic sashimi dishes, but when I asked the chef for suggestions, he started rattling off a series of custom creations he could make. So we let him do his best, and he turned out a great collection of sashimi dishes, none, at least as far as I could tell, on the menu. \n\nWe had a great meal, and we would definitely return, at least if we didn't live in San Diego.\n\n(The waitress eventually warmed up, probably thawing as she watched us eat through plate after plate of sashimi....)

Text - I just spent a weekend here at the Paris hotel and casino. I've stayed here in Las Vegas before in many different hotels and this is by far the WORST one. I mean I am talking about absolutely horrible service. The staff here is extremely rude with no customer service skills. I had called down stairs at 2 am to have a remote control delivered up to my room because it was missing one. The housekeeping staff failed to deliver one, instead, they decided to barge into my room at 6:00 AM TO GIVE ME MY REMOTE. WHAT THE ****! My mother & her friend were also staying here on the same floor a door down. Housekeeping had managed to clean my room but had not cleaned my mothers room for a full day. When my mother called down stairs for some service the housekeeping maids arrived at their room with complete attitude asking what they wanted done. FOR STARTERS... THE WHOLE ROOM WHAT ELSE?! Ridiculous! \nIT GETS WORSE! \nONE hour later.. five security guards come knocking at my mothers friends room and demand her to leave instantly, because the maid reported that she had thrown something at her. CRAZY!!! After completely badgering my mothers friend.. She packed up her belongings and was forced to leave at 1 am in the morning. She was banned from the hotel. She was not even allowed to explain to the security department that NOTHING like that happened and the maid was probably only pissed off because they had complained to the house keeping department. My mother and her friend then left and stayed at a different hotel for the night. Worst hotel, horrible service, and rude employees. NEVER STAY HERE EVER.

Text - I love Zoe's and have eaten at the Blakeney and Metropolitan locations numerous times.  I have been to the Southpark Zoe's twice, and neither time did I have a good experience.  The first time I went (mid-April), the restaurant seemed short-staffed -- only one person working the register, tables hadn't been bused, and it took a long time for our food to come out.  When I did receive my food, the chicken was about half the portion size that I've gotten at the other two Zoe's, and it was very dry and overcooked.  Roasted vegetables were still raw.  I gave the restaurant the benefit of the doubt -- everyone has an off day now and then.\n\nWent back this past week and had an even worse experience.  Short-staffed again -- we wanted to sit outside since it was a nice day, but so many tables hadn't been bused that we were forced to sit at the only clean table, which was next to a large group with several rowdy children (I don't have a problem with that, but I was looking forward to a relaxing meal with my husband and that just wasn't possible).  We were there for 45 minutes to an hour, and the tables weren't cleaned off until we were getting ready to leave,  it was very cold inside the restaurant, so it would have been an equally miserable experience to sit indoors.\n\nAgain, it took more than 20 minutes for our food to come out, and then when we asked someone, they didn't have an answer as to why it was taking so long.  No one came out to apologize except for the server who brought us the food, and of course it wasn't his fault.  I ordered salmon kabobs, which were cold and undercooked, and asked for vegetables instead of the salad, and they brought me salad anyway with just a little cup of vegetables on the side.  I know the person at the register took the order correctly since she repeated it back to me -- not sure where the confusion was.  I would have sent it back, but we had already waited so long and didn't have much time left to eat as it was.\n\nI will be patronizing the other two Zoe's locations in the future...they have always given excellent service and consistent quality of food.

Text - I walked in and felt like a kid in a beer errr candy store. I have never seen so many beers on draft. I was salivating just looking at them all. I ordered the devil eggs as a \""snack\"" and the crab cake sandwich for my meal. Everything was really tasty. I'll definitely be going back to try more of their extensive menu and try every beer they have on tap.

Text - I like a lot of British things...but Fresh & Easy which is owned by Tesco is not one of them. I went into this F&E location to pick up some fresh fruit. What I found was a very meager selection that was way overpriced. As I walked through the store I found milk that was also very overpriced. A turn found me looking at a wine aisle with Tesco's attempt to compete with Trader Joe's 2 Buck Chuck. I found some prepackaged meals that I admit looked interesting. But the truth here is that I ended up walking out with nothing as I just don't like the quality and the selection of products Tesco has chosen to stock their stores with. In short a Fresh & Easy is just a misread of the American market and the Las Vegas market in particular. It's a place best avoided.

Classify the case below.
This is a new outlet for Firebirds.  I've enjoyed every visit to the Rea Rd/Stonecrest location and this one was up to the same high standards.\n\nDecor is very similar - upscale cabin feel.  Lots of dark woods, high beams on the ceiling.  Seems like the bar area is larger here than at Stonecrest and the restaurant seating is smaller here than at Stonecrest.\n\nMenu looked to be exactly the same.  (Doesn't the menu vary from one location to another with 131 Main?)  Our table of three women at lunch were apparently craving beef - one steak salad, one cheeseburger and one french dip sandwich at this table!  All plates were clean at the end of the meal.\n\nServer Rebecca talked us in to dessert.  One was large enough not only for the three of us to share but we could have made two or three additional new friends!  It was a white chocolate/dark chocolate mousse cake served with tequila-soaked strawberries.\n\nMonday is half price wine day - both glasses and bottles.  So go ahead, order the bottle at half price and they will re-cork and send home with you whatever you don't consume in the restaurant.\n\nParking was a bit sparse in this new shopping area.  I had to circle the lot a couple of times before finding a space.  What's with the \""reserved\"" spots close to the retail and restaurants?  Reserved parking close to residences I understand.  Close to retail makes no sense to me.
