Case: Pretty good pizza, New York style, the people behind the counter are not the friendliest.

Case: This was my visit to SLS after much reluctance and disinterest on my part and it was even more lackluster than I expected. \n\nWe came to Umami Burger on a Monday night during Monday Night Football. The place was packed and loud, but we were seated quickly. The table was a little dirty and the sad little paper menus were stained, too. \n\nI ordered the Jose Andres burger and a side of fries to share with my mom. The burger was a good size, but I didn't like anything about it. The meat was only good around the edges and the texture was a stringy, fatty and greasy. The flavors were just not what I was hoping for and was incredibly bland. The fries were even worse. They were dry, overcooked and flavorless. \n\nI didn't enjoy a thing about anything I ate at Umami Burger. Even worse than the food was the service. Our waiter practically whispered every word to us and made no effort to speak up when it was clearly noisy from the football shenanigans happening around the restaurant. Refills were slow, condiments were in tiny portions and offered nothing to enhance the flavors of anything. \n\nI don't have any interest in trying this place again.

Case: Best steak my wife and I have ever had.  This was one of our favorite restaurants.  The popovers are delicious and the jalapeno mashed potatoes are currently an addiction that I have yet to kick.  Great service. Great atmosphere.  Can't wait to go back.

Case: Today at Brocach was a total miss.  My boyfriend ordered the poutine with corn beef which came out so cold the cheese curds didn't melt into the fries.  Corn beef had great flavor though.  I ordered the crab cake eggs benedict.  It was served barely warm and one of the crab cakes was about half the size of the other one.  I later ordered a pancake from the menu and was told they took pancakes off the menu. When I asked why they were still on the menu if they weren't offering them anymore the server checked with the kitchen and they made the pancake.  I was grateful but when the pancake was served it was half their normal size.  Don't know what was up with Brocach today but they had the B or C Team working the kitchen.

Case: Close to home....but would never recommend.  Went there today and watched my car dry itself for 25 minutes.  Asked for a refund and was told by the attendant someone had dried it.  Since I was sitting outside the whole time, I had a visual and told him that did not happen.  Asked for a refund and he couldn't do it because I had used a cc....went inside, spoke to the manager who seemed to care less.  Told her I thought it was awful that no one apologized, just gave excuses.  Guess what, then she said I'm sorry.  Terrible, terrible, terrible!

Case: I've been getting my hair cut at this place for years.  If you can, try and get James Choy.  He has been cutting my hair for a long time, and always does an amazing job.

Classify the case below.
There aren't many shops like this anymore. It's a locally-owned toy store with a panoply of cool collectibles, books, stuffed animals, games, puzzles, and more. Most of the toys skew to a younger audience (think of the under 13 crowd) and you won't find the typical toys and electronics that fill big box places like Toys R Us. Most of the stuff here is from smaller toy distributors, which makes browsing through the merchandise a unique experience.\n\nIn the center of the store is a \""sand pit\"" made out of recycled milk container pebbles, where kids can dig and hunt for as much treasure as they can fill into a small pouch provided by the staff. Entry into the pit goes for around $5 a kid (if I remember correctly). \n\nIf you have kids and are looking for some different toys, this place should be at the top of your list of places to check out.
