Case: The sides are subpar.   Sent the fritto misto back.  Undercooked taste of flour. Too greasy.  Potato hash browns were odd shape.... too thick...overly mushy in the middle.  \""Creamy corn with Manchego\""....wasn't creamy.\n   \nThe beef was of good quality but not unusually so.    When you consider the L.V. tourist pricing- this place isn't a good value.   It's overrated and overpriced.  Service was good.  Interior dated and tired.   If not for the ideal real estate they occupy on strip, I don't see it surviving in it's current format.

Case: This is a tough review to write.  If you follow me, you know that I patronize the independents.  I grew up in the restaurant business and know how tough to please every customer. You can't. It is impossible. But - if you provide good quality at a decent price, you can at least keep that business going.\n\nI live close enough to the bakery to walk. I stopped in once after we moved here and it was late day - and there was virtually nothing left.  So I decided when I saw the Groupon that I would make an effort to get there early one day and pick up cupcakes and treat both my family and a small women's group that I belong to. I got there early Saturday morning ready for my dozen.\n\nThe variety was nice - nothing terribly exciting. Chocolate on white, white on chocolate, red velvet.  Cupcake wars, this isn't. But I figured there is nothing better than a good white batter - light, with a nice crumb. So I got a variety of cupcakes - including the more exotic lemon and salted caramel, but focusing on the whites.\n\nI am not sure whether it was a bad day for them or the cupcakes had been made earlier in the week. I won't say they were dry. They were worse than dry. They were coarse almost with the consistency of a  popoverand not delicate at all. To say they were disappointing - well, it was embarrassing. I had bragged about the wonderful dessert I was going to serve - and my guests were less than impressed.  Even my DS and DH, both of whom never met a baked good they didn't scarf down, were hard pressed to finish the ones they picked.\n\nBasically, the white batters were either stale or overbeat or overbaked or a combination of all three.  The dark chocolate on the salted caramel was moister and the red velvet was somewhat moister but neither one was the quality I would have expected.  The chocolate on the chocolate/chocolate was as bad as the white.\n\nThe icing did not excite me as well. I prefer frosting over icing but this icing was so hard - it had more of a fondant consistency.  The sales person had recommended that for overnight storage, I should put them in a Tupperware and refrigerate.  So even though we were serving them that day, I put them in anyway.  I let them sit out for an hour before serving them just to warm them up.  The icing was still hard - the chocolate ones had piroulines in the frosting.  So after an hour of sitting out, the first guest attempted to pull out the pirouline and the entire icing came off, sort of like taking the lid off a top.  Even after an hour, you could slice that icing and break it into  pieces.  We laughed, but i was nevertheless embarrassed. \n\nAt $36/dozen w/ tax, I don't think I will be going back there again.  The cupcakes are pretty.  They are, as another reviewer indicated, a tad small for the price but if the quality was there, I would certainly pay the price.  Maybe it was a bad day but as a result, Top It lost me and the women in my group as potential customers.

Case: I am not in the habit of leaving internet reviews, but I feel that the world needs to be warned about this restaurant: it is a gimmicky, gaudy, over-priced tourist trap.  As a preface, my girlfriend and I didn't actually end up eating very much food there - we actually just chose to leave after our drinks/appetizers and before paying several hundred dollars for what we surmised would be a horrible meal.  So, it is possible that the entrees at Europea are in fact very good, but I doubt it, and even if that is the case, the place is pretty tacky and dingy.  To put the review in context, my girlfriend and I are mid-20s Americans with what I'd call reasonably smart tastes in food and culture - we are not foodies etc., but I'd say we know bad food and a bad restaurant when we see it.\n\nWe booked a reservation here after arranging a last minute trip to Montreal and were looking for a traditionally upscale French dinner to cap off our long weekend in the city.  Europea had great reviews on yelp and opentable, the menu looked good, it is run by a celebrity chef, we were staying a few blocks nearby and appeared to be in a location where you'd find good restaurants, so it seemed like an obvious choice.  Our first concerns emerged as we saw the neighborhood, which is the type of downtown area filled with taco bells, souvenir shops, strip clubs and, of course, tourist trap restaurants.  We decided to google image Europea to see what the inside looked like - judging from the photos online, it appeared to be a tacky restaurant, but we placed some trust in the glowing reviews on yelp and decided to show up for the reservation anyways.  \n\nWe walked in to find the restaurant exactly as portrayed in the images - it looks like it was styled in the early 1990s and hasn't been renovated since.  Picture fake plastic neon colored plants, neon fluorescent lights on the bar, some 90s Euro techno music as light background music, dingy carpets, worn silverware and waiters in ill-fitting tuxedos.  Things didn't look good, but we still gave them the benefit of the doubt, and were seated by the hostess and ordered two martinis.  Our table was next to the staircase in the center of the restaurant and everything on it shook any time someone walked up or down the stairs. \n\nThe martinis came as the host brought out some complementary appetizers: a small dried \""meat strip\"" hanging on a tiny clothes hanger, garlic-olive bread sticks, some kind of pesto \""lollipop\"" and truffle-cheese popcorn (I think?).  Each food item came with a little story about its preparation.  We took a sip of the martinis, which were gin and vodka respectively...they must have been 50% water, and to boot, were served in metal martini glasses with a comically large stick of olives across the top, so large in fact that we couldn't get the olives in the drink.  We then tried some of the small appetizers and it was impressively bad: the meat strip was glorified beef jerky, the lollipop was horribly according to my gf and the popcorn/breadsticks were not only disgusting, but seemed like they had been left out for several days...just musty, stale and soggy all at once.  The waitress then came by and offered us a hot towel, which she prepared by pouring hot water on a compressed roll of cotton with a teapot, which then expended into a soggy, lukewarm paper towel.\n\nOur waitress then came to the table with a wooden box, opened it and offered us two \""cheese cigars\"" (a direct quote)...the cheese cigars were, predictably, your standard microwavable fried mozzarella sticks, but I can't even say they tasted as good as something you might buy in a freezer aisle.  That was the end for us - it's not a cheap restaurant, and we weren't going to risk a few hundred dollars on their food.  So, we got up and left, got a take-out margherita pizza from a place up the street, watched a movie in our apartment and made a toast to not wasting our money on bad food.\n\nLong story short, this place is a tourist trap built to take the money of people that don't know any better.  It is well-reviewed, which I can only presume means that many people on Yelp don't have the most sophisticated of tastes.  But, if you are looking for type of experience described in those reviews, I'd suggest looking in a different neighborhood.  We wish we had booked something in Plateau or one of the other more interesting, cultured neighborhoods.

Case: Yes it's expensive, and yes it can be noisy, large, and overwhelming really crowded, but over the service, and the sweeping views of the valley from a high floor rooms, and that enormous bathroom with the amazing amenities.  After having experienced a few disasters of neighboring properties, I will never leave the aria again. The rooms are spacious, well appointed, and beautifully maintained. As importantly, everyone from the front desk to housekeeping is outstanding and so well-trained. It is worth every penny.

Case: Not that I don't love Paradies because I do, it's just that I will not attend this Paradise ever again. Paradise gets busy, but when you have been waiting for your meal for 30 minutes, and people that arrive after you get their meals before you do, that is a problem. Then to make matters worse, the young girl that worked there gave me a bad attitude for her miscommunication error. She also snapped at her co-worker in the presence of myself and other patrons. That was not professional. She then tried to rectify her mistake (with attitude of course), so I just left, and decided that I would not go back. I use to frequent this locatioin because it is 10 minutes away, but too many times I've had to wait a rediculous amount of time, and watch others that arrive after me, get better service. Needless to say, I will drive to any other Paradise, but this one.

Case: Following acceptance into nursing school, I was on the quest to find THE safest, happiest setting for my two girls aged 7 months and 2 yrs.  Previously, I had been a stay at home mom of three for 8 years and trusted no one except Gramma with my kids.  After looking into several places that were recommended and being less than impressed, I began to question entering the nursing program.  \n\nAt the time, the Chandler PCA had recently opened its doors when I stumbled upon them.  Darling Hall, the director, made a great first impression on us as she explained the curriculum, policies, etc and gave us a tour of the whole school.  Initially, I LOVED the cleanliness, the fact that there are cameras in every class, and that the front door requires a code to enter.  What also stood out to me, in comparison to other places, is that there is a large window to let natural light into EVERY class!  No gloomy glow!  \n\nUpon meeting our potential teachers and seeing the real classrooms (with actual doors and walls unlike some other places), I fell further in love.   Personality of teachers (especially of young kids) is so important to us.  Happy, funny teachers is what makes kids happy and want to go to school.  I don't know how they do it, but PCA manages to hire/keep the coolest, most positive staff ever!  We just adore Ms. Tish, Ms. Tara, Ms. Christy, Ms. Carla, Ms. Marabelle, and the list goes on! \n\nI found PCA just in time and knew immediately that this was the place for our girls.  Two years later, I'm still highly recommending them.  If you are considering preschool/daycare, take a tour of the Chandler PCA.  I think you will be pleasantly surprised.\n\nSincerely,\nMartha Focker\nChandler, AZ

What is the classification for the passage below?
Was not bad. I was actually surprised. Menudo was really good and spicy. Their nachos were made for white people, chips smothered with nacho cheese/guac/refried beans topped with meat.\n\nTheir sauce station was on point, loved the pico de gallo and guac sauce.\n\nWhen I come back for work I wouldn't mind going here again.
