Example: I have been here many times. Sadly, they would have a better review years ago. Although it may not have been the most outstanding place on the outside, they had good food inside and always a crowd. Now after many 'Under New Management' changes it appears as if the new management does not care about even former loyal customers. Our last visit saw a full parking lot. As we came nearer to CB there was hardly anyone inside. I could count six customers who looked at us with pity as we entered and approximately ten friends of the owner towards the back of the restaurant.\n\nService was slow even though there were only a few of us and the major complaint - hardly any food. THIS WAS NOT A SURPRISE. On two previous occasions, we came to CB only to find that they would not refill their hot trays with food. Some were even empty. If you asked the hostess about when an item would be coming out she would direct you to another to try - 'try this instead' ploy. If you pressured her she would eventually call to the kitchen to bring out what you wanted. Or she would ask what do you want and then have someone to bring it out. She compliments these tasks with plenty of loud attitude.\n\nCB has plenty of coupons each month to draw you to the restaurant. But even a coupon, discount, or \""under a newer management\"" ploy couldn't lead us back. Shockingly, I opened one of the fortune cookie, that the server gave me at the end of our visit, and it read \""Don't come back here!\"" I just about fell out my seat. \n\nNo, that's not true - but that's certainly the way we feel. Goodbye Chinatown. \n\nP.S. We were the last to leave on a Friday at 8:30pm. They normally close at 10pm. The hostess was trying to explain to a customer who was waiting for more food to come out why there was hardly anyone in there. She blamed it on the Final Four basketball game. From the above, I disagree, but from all indications CB knows how to serve a 'personal foul'.

Example: Blush is a goldmine.\nI love the intimate feel of the place coupled with the high caliber of girls Albert has working (~ 25 each weekday and 40 on the weekends).  The variety and sex-appeal of these chicks is incredible!!\n\nEvery single dancer is smoking hot.\nSeriously.\nThe strippers are out of this world!  They are naked, sexy, and writhing on your lap.  \n\nGo there.  Drink a beer (or 5) :)  (typical strip club prices, $5 a beer and $30 a dance).  It is SO worth it.  The entertainment just walks right up to you.  I've had hilarious and intelligent conversations, been mentally and physically turned on, and always, ALWAYS suggest it as the place to go with my friends.  I love Blush.  I love the girls there and I love the atmosphere.  It's drug-free, smoke-free, and intimidation-free.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n*On a personal note, my favorite girl is MOLLY; an ivy league graduate, who looks like  the knock-out girl next door and gives the. most. sensual lap dances I have ever experienced in my entire life.  She's the definition of what men are looking for and I absolutely CAN NOT WAIT (!) to go back.

Example: I bought the groupon for 2 night stay for $99, which includes breakfast for those two days.  The place is tucked away from \""touristy\"" Scottsdale and is walking distance from Scottsdale Quarter.  The hotel is quite, clean, and the staff is very friendly (Melinda and Taylor). The rooms are a little older but are kept in great shape. Rooms come with microwave, small fridge, and the sofa in the living room folds out to be a bed which was an awesome surprise. Bed are super comfy also.\n\nBreakfast was Ok, it's good enough to get you started, but if you're picky there's a good egg down the street and an iHop about 2 miles away.\n\nI would def stay here again.

Example: Lukewarm hibachi experience.    The fried rice is pre-made,  not prepared on the grill.   Also,  our chef chopped up the shrimp (I suspect to give the illusion you're getting more).    I ordered shrimp/chicken hibachi and  all of my shrimp was chopped up like \""kibbles and bits\"" dog food.   (Do you really have to chop up medium sized shrimp, geeez aren't  they already shrimp??).   Also. The veggies were significantly over cooked.   The chicken was good.   On the other hand, Kyoto has superior customer service; when I discovered my fork was dirty (hard white material) they promptly brought me another one.

Example: The main reason that I left a 1 star (I'd leave 0 if I can) were the charges. Spirit Airlines charges you for anything and everything every step of the way. Here's a brief overview of their charges:\n- Charge to sit next to each other ($5-$15)\n- Charge to CARRY-ON luggage ($35-$45)\n- Charge to CARRY-ON luggage if you didn't pay before security: $100\n- Charge to CHECK-IN luggage ($35-$45)\n- Charge for water/drinks/beverages ($3-$7)\n- Get this. Charge for PRINTING YOUR TICKET AT THE CHECK IN DESK ($5)\n\nI am a little miffed about the last one. No airline charges for that. On the trip over to Vegas we made a mistake by not paying for our luggage ahead of time, so it was $45 to check in. To fly back to Oakland we paid for it online ($35 for checked luggage since we paid ahead of time) but we didn't have a printer so we didn't print out our boarding pass. So figures you can just print it at the kiosk or the check in desk when you drop off your luggage right? My partner lined up to go drop off the luggage for check in and asked to print the ticket while at the front. The representative for Spirit said it'll be a $5 to print at the desk whereas it's FREE at the kiosk. Basically, she wasted not only OUR time but the time of the people waiting behind us in line, by basically refusing to service us unless we have a boarding pass. It would've taken less time for her to just print it out for us. We had to get out of line, print boarding pass at kiosk, and then get back in line. \nVery nonsensical.\n\nAlso the airplane itself is very old. Much much older than Southwest. The seats were worn out and it's very obviously so. They constantly disrupt the flight in making announcements for people to get a Mastercard membership with them to get a free ticket, or some promotional program or something. Very annoying and loud. Nothing you'd hear in Southwest.\n\nHorrible experience, never going with Spirit again. We definitely paid more by going on Spirit and had much more unsatisfactory experience. Should've just paid a bit more upfront for Southwest!! Then we could have sat together too (for free!!)\n\n- - - - -\n\nAnother Sad Story of how Horrible it is:\nMy partner and I were going to the gate at Oakland to board the plane to Vegas. On our way in, we saw a guy trying to fit his luggage into the \""Free\"" slot at the gate. He managed to fit it in, but it was a little over the edge (maybe an inch above). The Spirit airline representatives were very stubborn and very un-sympathetic. They said it doesn't fit all the way in. Since it didn't fit all the way in, it was $100 to carry on the plane if you pay at the gate. My partner and I went through the gate, and didn't hear the rest of the conversation. Turns out 10 minutes later, that guy was actually seated behind me. What happened was, he ended up taking all of his clothing out of his suitcase and just stuffed it in a bag, and brought it on the plane. He ditched his suitcase because it was ridiculous to pay $100 to carry it on. Yet there were plenty of empty luggage compartments above us throughout the plane. Why did that 1 inch matter? The service representatives at spirit are ruthless!!\n\nLesson here? Be careful when you're flying Spirit (try not to even fly it at all). Make sure to measure your bags. Seriously.

Example: These guys came out to fix my windshield after a rock chip spread after a trip up north.  The offered a time window of 8-12 the next day which was fine.\n\nI got a call just after 8 to say that I was the first stop and he would be there soon.\n\nThe van showed up about 8:30.  Very nice tech.  He got started but they gave him the wrong windshield so we had to wait another hour for the correct one to show.\n\nBummer.\n\nThen he was using a new tool to remove the window and it fell through and cause some minor damage to the paint.\n\nBummer.  He was apologetic and said they would fix it but who has time to put your car in the shop!!??\n\nTwo days later (Sunday) it rained.  I pulled my car out of the garage and my windshield wipers were put on wrong and not working.  \n\nSafelite was closed of course to I had to take it to a mechanic to have them fix it.  Another few hours lost.\n\nPretty disappointing.

Example: 4.25 stars.\n\nI really enjoyed this buffet.  There's something for everyone.  I tend to linger around the dim sum area...the dumplings were really good.  I was just in China, so I've become quite the dumpling hoarder!  And the Chinese man making them spoke very little English.\nAll right, moving on...\nSo there's salad (which I skipped), sushi and a fish monger area.  A ton of cocktail shrimp and crab legs.  Mexican food, meat carving station, Mediteranean food and of course dessert and gelato.\nOMG was I stuffed!  Everything was included in the $24.99 price, except for my bottled water.  That was extra...and you need water when the weather is 111 degrees.  You don't give me my bottled water, off with your head (or .75 of a star in this case)!  I'm being generous because I can't complain about the food or the service.  The dining area/tables may not be upscale, but the food was worth the walk through the casino.

Example: this was my first time spending more than an hour or so at treasure island, never mind staying in one of their rooms.  i was very pleasantly surprised.  we arrived around 10PM and waited in line for about 15 minutes.  the girl that checked us in seemed a little pissed at first, but anyone who has worked in the service industry would understand that she was probably about to be off for the night but had to stay late because there was a sudden rush of people trying to check in and all she wanted to do was get out of her TERRIBLE front desk girl uniform, drink a bud light and smoke a cigarette.  at any rate, i asked if she had anything with a view and she upgraded us to a strip view room for free, which was nice.\n\nthe walk from the lobby to our elevators was pleasant.  easy to navigate (even though i HATE walking through the casino with all of my luggage and shit in tow) and not too far.  vegas vacation anyone?  \""in order to get to your rooms, you're going to have to go this way through the casino.  veer to the left and make a short right at the first giant palm tree.  you'll see a group of blackjack tables.  not baccarat.  not craps.  blackjack.  take another right and then wind around to the left.  if you get to the pool you've gone too far.  back up and make another right.  you'll see a bank of elevators.  those aren't your elevators.  stay away from them but keep walking, you'll see another bank of elevators..... the gold elevators.  those are yours. take them up to the tenth floor, make a right, at the end of the hallway you'll find your rooms.  any questions?\""  ok i know that was totally a huge tangent but that is seriously what happens to me EVERY TIME I GO TO VEGAS.  i always spend the first twenty minutes at the hotel trying to get from the lobby to my room and like i said before, i hate carting all of my shit through the casino.  anyway....... that didn't happen at TI.  awesome.\n\ngot to the room and we could have sworn no one had ever even stayed in it before.  it seriously looked (and smelled) brand new.  like a model home.  SUPER NICE first impression, especially considering it was a smoking room.  everything was very modern and up to date, as far as style is concerned.  not that it really matters.  also, the bed was really really comfortable.  made for great sleeping/hangovering.\n\ncan't say that we ever ate at any of the restaurants at treasure island.  there was a starbucks and a krispy kreme, which ruled.  we DID get room service a few times, which was delicious.  the people who dropped it off were always very pleasant.\n\ni would definitely stay at treasure island again and recommend it to my friends.

Considreing the above, classify the following: Alecia was our server and she was great. We suggest skipping the guacamole as they no longer make it fresh, comes from a bag and tastes like chemicals. Hamburger was ordered medium-well and arrived just about rare. Alecia did all she could to make it right. I guess the kitchen was having an off night.
