Example: This place is just a gimmick, so if you don't mind paying just to find that out you will be ok here, but I wonder how many repeat customers they get.\n\nOutside the restaurant you have the option to weigh yourself before and after the gluttony and when you arrive inside you are greeted by a couple of gals in nurse uniforms and instructed to put on a hospital gown. Ok, I thought, if I spill I am safe! You will be instructed CASH ONLY. \n\nThe food is gross. They must make about 500 burgers at a shot because you can't choose how you want your burger done and when you do get it, the thing is a dried out piece of leather. Perhaps that is why they have to smother it in greasy chilli. As well, the 'chilli cheese fries' are some weak, skinny fries with a single slice of American processed cheese sitting under the greasy chilli and not at all melted. Be prepared, they don't even offer ice water so right there is the majority of your bill for just a couple of waters at an inflated price.\n\nMy Hubs tells me he enjoyed the meal. I still can't change my rating because a.) he is wrong and b.) the quality of the food is terrible.\n\nThe service seems to be good at first, but the initial friendliness of the waitresses is just a facade because the service is awful. Once they have been nice and cheerful with their initial greeting (which can come off as a bit insincere) it all goes down hill rapidly from there. \n\nIf you don't finish your burger be prepared to be 'spanked'~ literally. They don't take it easy either, you can sense the sting! We opted to split a single burger which was enough for us, but note they won't split anything more than a single.

Example: During a visit to Scottsdale last month we joined the few, the proud, the happy diners who have had a chance to experience Cafe Monarch! \n\n(Apologies to the USMC for co-opting their recruiting slogan in the above.) \n\nThis venture is truly a labor of love for chef / owner Christopher whose passion for his endeavor shows through in every detail, from the ambiance to the food to the service. \n\nArriving a little early for our 6 pm reservations on a Thursday night, we had a chance to speak with a couple of Christopher's friends who had dropped by to see him and learned that he created the wondrous space of Cafe Monarch out of what was formerly a beauty salon. In fact, Christopher shared that earlier that week, and perhaps even earlier that day, he had been working to replace an interior door and make some other changes. A never ending \""adventure\"" of putting the stamp of character on Cafe Monarch. \n\nNormally we might start a review with a discussion of the food we enjoyed, but the Cafe Monarch experience is so much centric to the persona of the owner that it might be best to start there. \n\nChristopher is a charming man with a convivial style and it doesn't hurt that he is pretty darned delightful to look at as well! Plus, he is a talented chef and does all the menu planning, shopping and cooking. No assistants or sous chef here. (In discussion with him, we learned we can thank his mom for his great cooking skills...in that he needed to learn to cook for self preservation!) \n\nHe is also an accomplished host who serves the meals and circulates during the evening to make certain that his guests, whether dining inside or outside, have what they need. \n\nOn the evening we arrived, there was pecan wood burning in two outdoor free standing fireplaces, offering a wonderful aroma and which would provide warmth of temperature and ambiance both for those who arrived and elected to dine outside as the evening evolved. We chose to sit inside where we could soak up the eclectic charm of the restaurant and enjoy watching Christopher at his craft in the kitchen. A nice couple from Washington state came in and sat alongside us and in enjoying an evening of delightful conversation with them, we all marveled at Christopher \""in action\"". \n\nOur dinner that evening started with a salmon appetizer that included thick (poached?) nuggets of the flavorful fish served with a slice of grilled eggplant (unique combination and worked so well) along with a wonderfully flavorful fresh herb pesto, capers and a slice of good, grilled crostini. We all agreed it was so Delicious and the serving size so generous we could have stopped there and been happy. But there was more to come in a choice of two entree selections, one was slices of pork (loin?) served with a fresh mango salsa and citrus sauce and the other chicken paillard served on a bed of creamy polenta with cheese and surrounded by a lovely pool of tomato sauce. All of the seasonings were just right as was the temperature of the food at service. We finished the meal with a baked Bosc pear topped with wonderful warm chocolate sauce and puff pastry dusted with confectioners sugar. \n\nAhhhhh.....yummmmm. \n\nAs others have shared, there is no liquor license here, so you'll have a chance to bring your own bottle of wine (we love being able to do that and to be able to share it, as we could on this evening,with the couple next to us.) Bring cash as our understanding is Christopher does not take \""plastic\"". To plan for the cash, we'll share that our dinner that evening, that we think included a $10 fee for corkage, was $98 or so, including tax, for two people. \n\nOn our next visit to Scottsdale, we hope to be able to have lunch at Cafe Monarch and sit outside to enjoy Christopher's hospitality and great food again. \n\nA closing note for this review is to mention accessibility. We have a heightened awareness of that issue of late and also note that the NY Times has included accessibility comments for some time in their reviews,with a renewed focus after food critic Frank Bruni had a favorite dining companion start to use a wheelchair. While Cafe Monarch is on one level, there is a step up to the restaurant, all inside seating is at \""bar height\"" chairs and the bathroom is not accessible for wheelchairs. As we enjoyed our evening at Cafe Monarch we thought of two friends who would love it, one an attorney and another an artist and gallery owner, but who use wheelchairs and would need to know in advance that although the Yelp tag says \""wheelchair accessible: yes\"", the access here is limited.

Example: I walked by this place a few times before I ever knew it was there. At the base of State Street, near the campus, you'll find this place located upstairs above another business. It is named the Sunroom for an obvious reason. The large windows offer lots of sunshine, especially on Sunday mornings for brunch.\n\nThey offer vegetarian items, which I appreciate. This is the second best place in Madison for brunch.

Example: Welcome to hell on earth.\n\nI am not one to take take the time out of my day to write a bad review, but this was such a horrific experience, I had to warn others. Please don't make the same mistake I did! This was by far the worst experience I have ever had at a hotel- and I have traveled to developing countries with no running water where I was not sure if someone would break into my room in the middle of the night (which is also very possible in this hotel).\n\nI honestly don't know where to start. Simply checking into the hotel was a horrific experience. There are too many disturbing details about my stay to even write about. Awful costumer service is one thing, but the filth and grime of the rooms is enough to make vermin run in disgust.  \n\nWhen I complained about my horrible experience to the front desk, the hotel manager Brandon (he was so proud to declare himself as the hotel manager-- so odd) was not even remotely phased by any of my complaints. In fact, he blamed outside venders for the problems. Unreal. Who hires the outside venders/contractors and does not take responsibility over that choice? As a business, you are responsible for everything that goes on. \n\nHe basically said I would have to take my issues up with them.... He even went so far as to give me the vendor company name that he felt was at fault for one of my complaints. Why should I call and complain to them? It blows my mind how certain companies are even still in business with that kind of mentality. I guess idiots like me who stay at places without doing proper research keep this crap shoots in business ;-)\n\nI have taken photos to post and will also write another longer post about my experience on my blog. If you have any questions, please contact me directly. Do not stay here. There are plenty of places that are cheaper and not as repulsive. \n\nHonestly, so disgusting. I hope I save one person from the insane misery I endured during my stay at that complete dump disguised as a hotel. You would be better off sleeping on the street. Seriously. \n\nVegas, even for work, should not be such a crappy experience. Hope anyone who reads this review doesn't make the same mistake!

Example: I want to like this place because it is near the house but the incredibly poor service makes that impossible.   With so many people out of work you would think they would be able to hire someone mildly competent.

Example: Glad to find this place the tamales were so good. It's hard to find a place with decent ones. One thing though is they are in limited stock so they may be out if you go too late. According to the staff you can place large holiday tamale orders a week in advance. The burrito was pretty good too and price was great!

What is the classification for the passage below?
Best item I had that I would go back again for:  shoe-string fries\n\nItems ordered:\n\n- Potato Twisters:  It was fun to see a huge pile of carby-goodness.  A bit of a smokey taste.  If you like a softer version of kettle chips, this one is for you. \n\n- Southwest Chicken Salad:  Nothing spectacular.  The lettuce which composed most of the salad was a bit bitter.  It would've been better if more of the \""other\"" items listed on the menu were present.\n\n- Mini burger sampler:  \nThe turkey burger was tastiest of all 3 (IMO).\nBeef burger was standard for a sit down restaurant.  \nAhi burger didn't have enough ahi.  It was two thin slices.  So, you were biting mostly into bread.  \n\n- Captain Hook Burger (Fried Cod):  The crust was very salty, but the crispiness of the fish was excellent. I didn't care for the sweet relish.\n\n- Iced Tea:  perfect.... freshly brewed \n\n\nService:  very slow (They need to hire a runner to deliver the food to the tables... especially since they sold over 1000 GroupOn deals.)\n\nPrice:  Pricier than Smash Burger for about the same quality just nicer ambiance\n\nAmbiance:  A fun place to go on a casual date.  Cute decor (contemporary cowboy?)  The booths are great for really tall people.  For short people like me, it felt like I saw sinking in the seat and had to sit up to reach the table.   \n\nI would only go back for the turkey burger & the shoe string fries, but I'd have to get some kind of deal because their prices are just more than many of the other restaurants around town.
