Example: This is a LONG overdue review, but here goes:\n\nI bought a living social offer that included a hair cut, highlights or color, conditioning treatment and glass of wine for $75.00 with Michael Joseph. I regret ever buying this offer and here's why:\n\nI called and left a message and about three days later I get a call back to schedule my appointment. So I did and I went in. I came in a few minutes past 3:00 pm and was worried that I was late (mind you, I drove from Glendale to North Scottsdale, that's a 30 minute + drive). I literally sat there for about 30 minutes before Michael came over. Actually, even before he greeted me, he went up to the front desk girl and whispered something to her that I KNEW was about ME. I've worked at a Salon in North Scottsdale before at the front desk area and whenever a stylist would come up to me while a guest was waiting, it wasn't to tell me something nice about them. So right there was a red flag, but I had already waited 30 minutes and I pre-paid for the service, so I decided to go through with it. \n\nSo after that, he disappeared for a few minutes and then, finally came out and greeted me. I had told him I wanted the highlights and hair cut. He insisted that he didn't want to put any color in my hair since I had dyed my hair a medium blonde a few weeks ago. He said to wait a few weeks before putting any sort of color/highlights in it. At first, we went back and forth a bit, because I'd been to other salons with a similar situation of dying my hair a less then desirable color and they would put highlights in it anyway (AND I've never had any problem with it). However, he really didn't want to do it, so I said alright. We agreed on the hair cut and that I would come back in a couple of weeks and he would color it then.\n\nHair cut experience: So he washes my hair, blow drys and then cuts it! Who does that?! Stylists have always cut my hair when it was wet, not dry. The hair cut I got was one I could have gone across the street to Great Clips to get. Seriously, it would have saved me a long drive and $$$. The cut is so bland, blunt and when I got home I noticed a few longer strands that I had to cut myself. I feel like I got ripped off. I can't believe they have someone who cuts hair like that in North Scottsdale. \n\nAfter a couple of weeks, I decided not to go in for color... Ah well.\n\nP.S. I never did get that glass of wine (or was at least offered it when I was there for my hair cut), but I think I got a conditioning treatment (or at least he put conditioner in my hair).

Example: Ehh...I won't be back. Trendy isn't always bad, but Arrogant Butcher exemplifies trendiness while sacrificing the food + experience factor. With a large group, I had the cioppino ($25--which I was sooo excited about) and a martini (about $9). It was fine. No major complaints. However, it just wasn't worth it. \n\nI definitely splurge on food more than I should, but Arrogant Butcher just left me feeling disappointed. Not because of anything specific, but a general sense of ennui. \n\nYour money can be put to better use elsewhere...

Example: I have been there a few times, and I have always been pleased. The food (fusion, small plates, rolls) is tasty and not overpriced (although not cheap). The TNT roll was good, the sort of shepherd pie tasty. \n\nFor comparison, i was at Grit and Grace the night before - for the second time - and much preferred tamari: the concepts are similar (cocktails, small plates, wine, relaxed atmosphere), but the food just was better at tamari (perhaps G&G was off that night - my first trip there was fine). \n\nThe only minus was that it closes at 11:00pm! Why so early, folks? Pittsburgh's changing and it would be good to have a later closing time on saturday (like many more recently opened restaurants). And at 11:00 they started cleaning, swiping the floor, making amply clear they wanted us to leave. Not cool, not cool at all. But I'll leave  the 4 stars.

Example: I have been to crust at least a half a dozen times and, normally, I really enjoy this place. I have even introduced friends to the food and they have returned. After what happened a few weeks ago I will not be returning. We had ordered apps, salads, and entrees and while we were waiting for our first course my sister took my 2 year old nephew out front to play because he was restless. Only a few minutes after we had ordered he fell while playing and hit his head hard against the ground. I stopped my server and asked him to cancel our order but charge me for what had been made and I'd take it to go. I made it clear my nephew had seriously injured himself and we were running to the hospital. Less than half the food was ready and bagged up but I was charged for all of it. I didn't realize it until later when we had left the hospital. I called them a few days later to explain that I was displeased. We had HAD to leave,  I told them, because a toddler needed to be rushed to the hospital immediately. I explained I offered to pay for what was ready but was charged for all of it; even the stuff I didn't receive. The manager lacked any sort of empathy and coldly offered a $20 credit for the future. Our meal was close to three times that much (we had also ordered drinks that we never drank). In my opinion they should have been apologetic for overcharging me especially under the circumstances. I'll admit the food is good but the integrity of both individuals I dealt with is nonexistent. Also, although children are allowed, this is obviously not a family friendly establishment.

Example: I'm shocked at the other reviews that give higher marks... this place is a must skip! I agree, the atmosphere is nice being outside on the water and I'm a big fan of Pier 54 next door... however, it takes a lot more than just the outside atmosphere to make me want to go back to a place. The layout of the place is just awkward- we walked through the front door into a big open space that looks like a banquet hall and then one random table inside near the fireplace. Outside there is one section of picnic tables that don't fit in with the style and then around the other side of the building are seating areas and tables and chairs. We sat at a table to order dinner- however the tables were very awkward to sit at- the bars of the legs and supports got in the way of where your feet go, plus the chairs were really rigid and uncomfortable. Service is meh... some servers looked like they wanted to be there and work, ours did not.... we ordered drinks and queso fundido which took 25 minutes to come out and was only so so- the chorizo was a nice touch but the cheese hardened soon after it arrived to our table and we needed to scrap it with a fork to get some for the chips. For dinner, I ordered the green chilies enchiladas and my boyfriend ordered the burger. Our food took an hour to come out (expected if the place was totally busy and slammed with people... not the case here). While waiting we had the great entertainment of the drunks sitting in one of the couch areas next to our table. The ladies were over served and stumbling and screaming while looking for one of their phones making the atmosphere hard to enjoy. Luckily they left half way through our our wait for the food but made the couch area a disaster while looking for the phone- funniest part of that is not one staff member fixed the area! The cushions were everywhere and pillows on the ground- no one cared to take the minute to clean it up for others to sit at. When our food finally arrived, the music had been turned up and we could barely hold a conversation. The burger my boyfriend got had a bun that was bigger than necessary and he needed to cut away over half of it to fit it in his mouth- an additional bonus for him to find out was that the burger was burned. My enchiladas were so incredibly spicy that I couldn't eat them. I used the excess parts of the burger's bun to try and take the burn out of my mouth. I ate about two bites and was done. The server never checked on us to see how things were until our drinks were empty and we had been sitting there for 15 minutes without touching our food... when I told her that the enchiladas were extremely spicy, she took my side plate and placed it over the dinner plate, picked it up and said \""ok\"" and walked away to get the bill. Didn't ask if I wanted something else, take it home, or take it off the bill- I clearly had hardly touched the food... Over priced food and drinks for crappy food and service. Save your money and mouth by skipping this place- go next door to Pier 54!!

Example: I found Olive This on Yelp while looking for some place new to go with my family while I was visiting them in Charlotte.  We walked in and were greeted by one of the owners who gave us a quick overview of the layout of the store and how to taste the oils and vinegars.  My mom didn't seem all that interested at first, but after being forced by my sister and I to try some of the oils and vinegars, she joined in and said several times throughout the day what a pleasant surprise this store was.  \n\nThe owner who helped us truly loves what she does and her passion and enthusiasm rubs off on you as you sample and browse.  She gave us ideas on how to use the different flavored oils, such as using the fruity flavored oils in place of canola or vegetable oil in baked goods for an extra flavor punch.  She also suggested flavor combinations that I never would have put together, such as the spicy harissa oil with the sweet tangy strawberry balsamic vinegar.  It was sweet and flavorful with just a little lingering heat on the back end.  \n\nI was completely ready to buy two big bottles but then I noticed a table in the center of the store with tiny pre-packaged oil and vinegar gift sets.  One of these sets was called \""Sweet Heat\"" and was the harissa oil and strawberry balsamic!  The smaller bottles enabled me to get the unique combination to try at home and be able to buy another bottle of something else!  These sets would be great for hostess gifts, unique holiday gifts, or a gift for yourself.  I also got a bottle of the Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic Vinegar which was out of this world.\n\nIf I was forced to say anything bad about this place, it would be that while I was checking out, I noticed a cake stand with little bread squares for tasting the oils and had wished that we knew about that when we walked in.  Drinking straight oil out of a little cup feels kind of odd and the bread would have been nice for tasting. \n\nBut clearly that didn't bother me too much since I still gave them a 5 star review and I will, without a doubt, come back to shop the next time I'm in Charlotte.

Example: Definitely one of the best AYCE sushi places you can find in America. The consistency on the quality that they provide on their menu as well as the variety available is quite enticing to bring back heavy eaters like my party and I even if we only have 1 hour to eat.\n\nThe trick as my group came to learn was to order as much as your heavy appetite can handle. They may warn you that any leftovers immediately becomes charged extra at ala carte price BUT if you are certain of your appetite, JUST DO IT.\n\nAnother tip is regarding the limited items (meaning one per person). I only remember two items, which I ordered both of and are fried oysters and sake shooters. Now, if some in your group doesn't like (or can't) eat either of these two BUT you can and want to, ORDER on their behalf.\n\nFavorite rolls/nigiri/sides\n1. Salmon - exceptionally fresh. BIGGER plus was when it came out as FATTY salmon. OMFG, I had to order even more.\n2. Hamachi\n3. Miso soup (practically my buffet sake)\n4. Tuna\n\nIf you like spicy, apparently, there's a roll called the 911. I gotta love our waitress that night when he dared one of my party to take the spice challenge. He looked like he was going to combust.\n\nOther notes: Last few times I visited were during dinner and although the restaurant was full, food comes out fast pretty quickly. Service is exceptional and a plus.

Classify the following: Fresh, chewy cookies, mashed together with ice cream of your choice for $2 is an incredible deal. So tasty.
