Example: Went here with the family for NYE dinner.  Food was half good and half horrible.  Kitchen closed and sent home all of the chefs (except the pastry chef) before we even had the plates delivered.  They should never have taken the reservation for a party of 14 at the end of the night.  They were running 40 mins behind and still seated us, but only to poorly execute the food and service. They didn't even have bread for the table or any of the entrees...this is an italian restaurant!  They finally brought us some frozen bread to try to appease us. It was still frozen in the middle.   If you are going to take a reservation at the end of the night, then you should make sure you have the right people there to execute at the level you should be for the type of restaurant you are. I live in NYC and have no problem paying higher prices for good food, but having to pay high prices for crappy food is just ridiculous.  Very disappointed and will never go back!

Example: Never been to a fabric store...I can't IRON!!  But I had a project and I didn't know where I'd buy it, so I thought I'd see what they had...I walked in, saw the glittery fabric I'd need right up front..a sweet sales lady named Rose asked \""You have what you need?\""  I said \""NO!!! I need HELP!\""...\nWell, she was amazing!! She helped me put something together in no time!  I could NOT believe what a great place this is!!!!\nThey were terrific and ROSE is amazing!!!

Example: Will not stay at again.\n\nAt the time, it was one of the cheapest hotels on the strip available.  I paid around $40/night.\n\nNo hot water heater, no fridge.  UNABLE TO ADJUST TEMPERATURE IN ROOM.  Right away, I needed to call for service for lightbulbs that were not working.  \n\nThe only pluses were it's considered hotel on the strip, and it's right next to the monorail with easy access to other hotels.  The blackjack tables are pretty cheap as well.  \n\nThe 2 star was for an overall horrible experience even given the cheap price.  Will not stay at again, even at $15/night.

Example: I was fortunate enough to be invited to the Phoenix Suns vs Houston Rockets basketball game on Saturday night - and managed to score a premium seat in a private suite (a sweet suite).\n\nAn amazing game with Shaq onboard (the Suns trounced the Rockets). \n\nAnyway the point is that US Airways Center is a perfect venue - several cool bar/restaurants circle the site for pre and post game activities. We grabbed a brew over at Alice Cooperstown then headed to the game.\n\nWe parked in the garage that bordered the arena, and conveniently walked from our parking spot directly into the place.\n\nThe only complaint I have is that smokers are treated more like murderers - I had to walk a 1/2 mile to an outdoor spot each time I wanted a puff (which when drinking is fairly often). I understand non-smokers don't want to breath my smoke - I don't understand how an enterprise this large doesn't have a few patios for us unclean heathens. As anti-smoking as some people are, remember it IS legal and certainly less of a poison than hard alcohol (which the lounges here gleefully serve).

Example: 1) no prices are offered - the meat/salad bar is $51/person, cocktains about $12 each\n2) starve yourself before going...seriously!\n3) eat at a leisurely pace - I made the mistake of eating at the pace that the meat slicers are working\n4) 95% of the offerings (including the bread on the table) are gluten free\n5) may wish to arrive later than 5:30pm - seemed that not all of the meats were prepared (we never saw the chicken or ribs)

Example: Herbal nail bar used to be one of my favorite places to go!  Michelle is amazing!   Unfortunately, the owners are not truthful.  You ask how long is the wait Nguyen one of the owners said no wait.   Great then after 20 minutes he said to me so you mind waiting 10 minutes!   Are you serious!   You order the deluxe during peak time Nguyen tells his people hurry up hurry up just skip that they don't know.   Well as a person that frequents the place I sure do know!   And not to mention its rude to say that in front of your clients.  And not welcoming at all!    It is so unfortunate he runs his business that way.   I will never go there again and I will certainly do my part to steer people in the other direction solely based on dishonest business practices

Example: This is a review of the casino only. Although I hear the rooms are quite nice at the resort.\n\nYou'll find your pick of shiny new machines and tables--all the essentials and then some. This is also a great place for a beginner because you won't be pressured to bet absurd amount of money. You'll can be perfectly happy with the penny slots and $5 tables all night long. It doesn't get too crowded here and makes for a cool night out with some friends.\n\nI'm not a gambler, but I ended up winning close to $400 at the $10 blackjack table. Can't say no to that...\n\n-----\n\nDistinguishing factor: If you're out to gamble, this venue is a top pick in the region.

Example: If I could give this company less than one star, I would.  My experience has been terrible.\n\nThis company was contracted a month ago to do the following for our home:  replace the flooring in the bathrooms upstairs and downstairs, paint some of the walls, install screens for the windows, and replace a damage patio sliding door.  What my husband and I were told was going to be a streamlined, customer-friendly process that would take no more than two weeks has turned into a month-long process that has yet to be completed.\n\nFlooring:  The downstairs kitchen, vanity bathroom, and two upstairs bathroom had vinyl flooring.  After some discussion, our contact at this company, Jered, suggested that ceramic-tile flooring would be a good choice.  Admittedly, he seemed knowledgeable and confident about the information he provided us.\n\nThe installation of the flooring, however, was a different matter altogether.  We were quoted an installation time frame of four days; it actually took six.  I will state that the color and pattern of the tile were impressive and fit the house well.\n\nHowever, the worst part of the flooring process was when it was completed.  The professional moved all our appliances back into the right spot, but he forgot to connect drainage hose to the back of our washing machine.  One night at 10 p.m., my husband went downstairs to wash some clothes and came back upstairs to get some schoolwork done.  Ten minutes later when he went back downstairs to check on the status of the clothes, the entire kitchen, laundry room, and part of the garage was flooded with water more than an inch high.  The water also damaged some of the carpeting in the living room.  We stayed up until 1 a.m. cleaning up this water.\n\nWe informed Jered and his company, and he promptly came out along with the original floor installer to review and rectify the situation.  He was very apologetic.  He re-connected the hose and committed to having the living-room carpet steam-cleaned.  To allow them time to work, we decided to head to Southern California for several days.  Three days later when we returned, the carpet was still damp, and there was a moldy smell in the house.\n\nPainting:  This was an incredible experience.  The company contracted two painters to handle making touch-ups to several of the rooms in our house.  (The price quoted for full-on painting was beyond our threshold.)  These painters offered grandiose solutions but, ultimately, never followed through and became a bit stalker like.\n\nThe first day they were supposed to come to start the painting, they called off due to being busy with another assignment.  The second day, they actually showed up and spent four hours here caulking and, honestly, talking.  The third day coincided with the time we left to go to Southern California to allow all the contractors free reign to the house.  We found out when we returned and saw the moldy carpet that the painters never showed up.  When we questioned Jered about this, we were told that the painters had car issues but would show up on Monday morning--AT 6 A.M.\n\nThat morning, they called to say that they were on their way but were delayed by traffic.  Two hours later, no painters.  An hour later, we received a call from Jered stating that one of the painters was vomiting in the car and had to go home.  We fired the painters and were on the precipice of firing Jered and his company.\n\nFast forward several weeks (this week), and his company FINALLY finished the painting.  The amount of issues that they had matching paint was an embarrassment to the painting profession.  (If I can also add a comment:  The painter that he brought in to replace the other two was a nice fellow, but every day he would show up at our house, he would have his music blaring so loudly through his SUV that I could feel the vibrations in the ground.  Not professional at all and definitely disruptive to the community we live in.)\n\nScreen installation:  The screens finally came in at the end of last week.  I happened to be out of town when they were installed, but my husband was here.  When I arrived home, you could imagine my surprise when I opened my window in my home office, and the screen fell from the second-story window.  When I checked all the other screens, they were too small.  I could move them around easily and with a flick of my finger, knock them out of the window.  Jered installed these.  As of this week, we're still waiting for the replacement screens to arrive.\n\nThere were an assortment of other issues that I won't even bother detailing here, since this review should make the point.  This has possibly been one of the most unprofessional, disorganized, disastrous professional relationships I have been in.  In the coming months, we'll have some more work to be done.  We'll look elsewhere for sure.

Classify the following: Disappointing comedy theater. Unless you absolutely must see a certain comedian act, save your money. In addition to the cost of tickets, or even if you get free tickets, you will have to pay for an overpriced two drink minimum, per person, inside the theater. Mediocre drinks. Poor quality food. Substandard table service. Opening acts were boring. On high profile nights, you may have to wait in an endless line that wraps around the building along the sidewalk then up a few flights of stairs.\n\nBut, high marks to the venue next door, Copper Blues! Great place to chill. Over 50 beers on tap, full bar, live music stage, celebrity chef kitchen, professional staff. (4 stars on Yelp)
