Case: So my husband and I just went and saw Ralphie May on Friday the 29th and if I hadn't already prepaid the tickets I would have left right when we arrived.\n\nThe show started at 9:45 and we didn't enter the venue until almost 11:00pm and the line was wrapped around the building. No one came out to offer an excuse or an apology. A large gentleman came out and gave us bracelets ( which I later found out he was supposed to be carding us and then giving bracelets to the 21+ people) but did not offer any explanation to why we were standing outside for so long. We were bothered by several homeless men asking for money. \n\nWe entered the venue and were just rushed in. Sat were I was told to and waited for the venue to begin. Our server came around and reminded us we had to order a min. of 2 drinks. Which we did, and 20 minutes later he returned with the rest of the tables drinks and had to ask us again what we ordered. THEIR mixed drinks are HORRIBLE. I almost couldn't drink it, it was that bad.  (A comedy Cosmo and a regular margarita were ordered)\n\nThe food smelled amazing but we didn't eat at this venue. Ralphie May said he was sorry that the first show ran over and he would make our show just as long. He is a great comic and his wife even a raunchy as she was, was also funny. \n\nThe venue sucked though. I am glad I was able to say I went and saw him live but will not partake in another showing here again. We were bumped and tripped on several times due to the sardine seating, the drinks were horrible and when I received our bill. A WHOPPING bill of $52 for a total of 4 DRINKS! Our server sucked because he knew regardless he was getting a 15% tip off each ticket at the table. \n\nThe sound system wasn't very loud and at times we missed a lot of what the comic was saying due to the fact we were in the back and the venue must not have speakers that are in the back of the house. \n\nIf you can handle being a sardine and paying over priced for shitty drinks then this is the place for you, otherwise save your money and rent the comics dvd.

Case: This was my first and last visit to Sushi Katsu. I stopped by yesterday because their van parked out by the street has a sign which advertises they have clam chowder.\nUpon entering, I asked the manager, who took my order, if they make their own\nchowder as I thought it was an unusual item for a sushi house. He assured me it was homemade, so I said ok, I'll try it as I love good chowder. \n  While I was waiting for my soup, I was looking at the fish at the sushi bar as I \nwas thinking of ordering some sushi after my soup. I noticed some fish under \nplastic wrap in the glass cooler where they prepare sushi from. It was dated\n12-20-13. The date of my visit was 12-27-13!!!!!!!!!\n   I brought it to the attention of the sushi chef who was standing behind the sushi bar doing nothing as I was the only customer in the restaurant. \nHe said \""someone forgot to change it\"" and just looked the other way. He did not even \nlook at it or try to verify that it was fresh. \n  At that point I decided I would not even consider eating sushi here as they had \nfish at the sushi bar that had been there at least a week!!!!!!!!!!! WTF???\n  Ok, so the manager comes out with my \""clam chowder\"". It was so obviously from\nCampbell's Chunky soup can that I asked him again if it was homemade. He said yes but that he didn't have the right pot to make it in............WTF???????????\n  After taking 3 spoon fulls I reached into my pocket and put down the money to pay\nfor the \""soup\"" and walked out.  Canned soup is unacceptable in a restaurant and\nI don't like being lied to. I also don't like seeing food in a restaurant that has a date of preparation a week old.\n   Although I usually just write reviews for restaurants I find exceptional,\nI feel it necessary to write this review as this was by far the worst restaurant\nexperience I can remember. The food was horrid, I was lied to, and I observed outdated food at the sushi bar. I now know why I was the only customer in the place\nNEVER AGAIN.

Case: This place blows.  Staff seems bored and depressed, not to mention rude.  Plus there was a 20 minute wait for an empty bar/restaurant.  Lame.

Case: I came in here with my boyfriend after scoring no pierogies at the festival.  And boy Were we glad we did. First off the front of house was super friendly and understanding when we ordered just about two of every kind of pierogi haha.  Were originally from California so we don't often find polish food hanging around in our cities.  We also ordered a cup of their stuffed red pepper soup.  Everything arrived after a short 10 minute wait with a hearty pat on the back and a \""good luck guys\"". We really didn't realize how big of a food coma we were going to get from 1.5 dozen pierogies and soup but man were our tummies happy.  Though the new world pierogies were yummy, the old world were the best in our opinions (nothing beats tradition and butter) and I ended up buying another two dozen frozen to go. The staff was so nice and friendly and it just made the experience all the better.  Seriously, if they had this in California I'd be scarfing these babies down on the regular. Basically, Szmidt's is bomb dot com.

Case: We had an hour to kill between my boys baseball games and found this place on yelp.  Food was very good and fast.  Friendly service.  We even had some extra time to kill so we watched football on one of five tv's.

Considreing the above, classify the following: I love this place for their pad-thai; it's SO flavorful and delicious! With the perfect amount of heat too! I find that the chicken is a little dry, so I order it without and stick with all prawns. SO GOOD!\n\nI've only tasted the other dishes from friends plates. I find the curry (I've tired yellow) is a little salty (and lacking in something...) I generally stick with the pad thai, since it's so good. I have had the chicken in coconut broth. It is pretty good, has a lot of lemon grass flavor and, obviously, coconut. Again, I find the chicken is a little dry (you wouldn't think that for a soup, but, it is) presentation is really cool....they serve it in a silver, thai style bowl, with a flaming center (you generally share it with the table, all dipping from the same bowl).\n\nI've never had problems with service, they are very friendly, a little slow, if anything. It is a small restaurtant, a little out-dated, but o.k.
