Case: if you are looking for great Japanese food but can't afford Nobu, this is the place to be.  The chef actually is from Nobu.\nI had the $50 omakase (a course meal) and every dish was del.icio.us and beautiful.\nAnd one of the waitresses there was hella cute and friendly.

Case: If you're looking for internet, cable, or phone services I highly recommend you stay away from Cox Communications. \n\nTheir services aren't that good compared to other local service providers, they DO NOT care about their customers, nor even their own employees. They outsource EVERYTHING and the ones that are in payroll get paid DIRT for what they do. A company that doesn't care about itself internally isn't about to put customers needs first.\n\nIt's all about the money with these clowns, nothing more. And when I say money, I mean LOTS of it. Their prices are INSANE while giving you devices, set top boxes, remotes, and modems built in the 90's with non-intuitive software. It's 2015 guys, get with it already.\n\nI live in Las Vegas (702 area code) and made a phone call using Cox's LAN line to a colleague that also has a 702 area code. When I received the following months bill I was charged long distance rates for calling him. Confused, I called Cox and they proceeded to tell me because his phone's \""prefix\"" is registered in Mesquite, NV (literally 40 minutes away from Vegas) that it's considered long distance, even though it's 702 and the phone was purchased IN Vegas at the Meadows Mall. This is absolutely the most ABSURD thing I've ever heard. Cox would NOT work with me, passed the buck saying they don't make the calling rules, and basically told me to eat it and pay the bill.\n\nUnbelievable after being a loyal customer for two years, paying over $100 every month with NO late payments. You know a business is scummy when you pay your bill, and then five days later, you receive the next month's bill in the mail already! Get real.\n\nUnruly, rude, disgusting scum bag of a company. Terrible in every way. Whomever privately owns this pig should be ashamed of themselves.

Case: If you're ever in Phoenix and want to impress someone or pop \""the question\""!  The Compass Restaurant with it's impressive views, atmosphere, service and food should satisfy anyone and everyone!  \n\nRecommendations: Filet Mignon

Case: This place reminds me of an over priced Denny's.  I would actually rather go to Denny's.  The service is slow and the food is mediocre at best.  Everything tastes as if it were frozen or prepared off site and shipped in.  Not very good.

Case: Okay I get it it's a place from tv.... But to be honest this place isn't that amazing. First off the lady who took my order shorted me on not one but two things! And it took her 5x's as long as any other person to pack it. They need someone too double check the orders before they send it out! I mean come on they pretty much stole 10$ from us.

Case: The Dinner Club pick for January was St. Francis - the new CenPho hot spot.\n\nParking: there really isn't much. We were the last car into the lot before the valet shut down the lot with cones. Not sure where those people trying to get in after us ended up parking...but be warned, parking is an issue, especially on Fri and Sat nights.\n\nFood: the consensus - very good. \n\nStarters/Soup: We started with the baked goat cheese, which was good, and there was enough for all 8 people to have a few bites. One of us ordered the cream of celery soup, which was a hit, delicious, warm, flavorful, creamy...yummmm. \n\nMain Course: The main courses were all very well received with the exception of the green chili pork...lacked flavor, and even worse, lacked heat!! The cornbread served along side was also on the dry side. The other questionable entree was the flatbread...which could be delicious but it was covered with very salty kalamata olives (and I love kalamata olives) but there were waaaaay too many. It completely overwhelmed the rest of the toppings. However with a little less olives I have no doubt it would be delicious. Winners were the roasted chicken, and the pot roast sandwhich (fantastic), we will be back for the pot roast sandwich\n\nDessert: we had 2, they were tasty, but nothing special, and we left a few bites on the table (since I make a rule to never, ever leave a desset behind this either spoke to how full I was or the lack-luster nature of the dessert, I havent decided which). \n\nOther factors:\nservice: mostly good. only problem was no spoon delivered with the soup and it took about 5-6 min to track down a server to fetch one, however once the food runner realized he had forgotten the spoon, he was very apologetic and offered to get me a new bowl...which wasn't necessary, but the gesture was appreciated.\n\nDrinks: nice mixed drink selection\n\nOverall: good restaurant made better by the ambiance and the fact that its about 5 min from all of our hourses...\n\nDC score = 4 stars

Case: As a Chef and someone familiar with Persian Food, we found the food bland, the servings quite small for the high prices charged. Sure, nice small market, clean place, nice people, just a couple of blocks away from us and on the good side of town, but the dishes bore little to no resemblance to the amazingly spiced, incredible tasting dishes I came to love from the best families in California. We went with great hopes of a good meal and came away disillusioned.....

Case: I helped arrange a friend's bachelor party in Montreal and had heard from another attendee that Globe was a great place we should go to for dinner and that it turns into a rather popular club. So we decided to give it a try. \n\nWe were a group of fourteen so to make life easier I made advanced reservations for the group price fixed menu. I dealt with Silvana, the event manager here who was responsive and helpful throughout the reservation process. We were able to secure a four course dinner with two choices for appetizer and three courses to choose from for entree, along with dessert and an Italian noodle dumpling that was given to everyone. \n\nUpon arrival, it was noted that this place is kind of small but chicly decorated. It is true the staff here looks like they work here between modelling gigs. We were warmly received and given a table for fourteen without any problems. The actual price fixed menus were at our tables and presented in a very classy manner, on nice printed paper. We ordered some bottles of vodka that were nicely displayed and drinks were made for us by our waitress during dinner. We were a large and thirsty group and our waitress Vanessa did a nice job of keeping up. \n\nAs for food, I started with a butternut squash soup that had some braised beef in it. It was silky smooth and sweet and the short rib added a nice contrast in flavor and texture being a bit more savoury. My only complaint is that the soup could have been served hotter. Next was the gnudi, Italian dumpling. It was basically a dumpling in a butter sauce stuffed with ricotta cheese. It was kind of heavy, but still worked well. Next I had the salmon which was very flavorful and well cooked. Last an apple crostade which was served a la mode and was OK. \n\nSome service complaints I had heard was slow refills on water and only one diner was brought a steak knife for his steak (one of the three entree choices) while the others were not, and their requests for same went answered. \n\nOne other note, as mentioned earlier, this place turns into a club. When eating we noticed that some of those arriving to enjoy the club looked rather young. Our waitress informed us that on Friday nights the crowd is older, and on Saturday night, the night we were there, there is a younger crowd. And that is why this club did not really work for us, as it appeared a lot of 18 year olds were there and we are a bit too old for that scene. Overall though, this place executed the night well, it just was not really my scene after dinner--that is a personal opinion though, as it may be yours.  It is certainly a popular place that eventually had a line to get in.

Classify the following: Love this place! it's close to home, the bakery section has huge servings and always delicious and the dining area is usually crowded with fellow diners. The lox and bagel is A+, best I've had in town so far. This place isn't cheap so make sure you have some cash to spare
