Case: I don't much like to drink, so there is little point for me to patronize bars-- if I'm not going out to drink, then what am I going out for, if not for some inebriated lout to drool on my neck and make comment about my stature?  WOW FUN TIMES. \n\nThat being said, I would go back to the Frog in a heartbeat.  I was there on an off night, which was even better because it was totally deserted, employees outnumbering patrons.  Gary, the dude who runs the ship in the Whisky Attic, poured me some weisse bock of a quality I didn't think I could get unless I went back to Munich, and Matt, the downstairs bartender, put on the seminal classic \""Master of the Flying Guillotine\"" for me, because I loves me some chop socky.  \n\nThanks, boys!  I'm coming back in August!

Case: Earlier this year, I received a beautiful diamond and ruby bee brooch for my birthday. It is a vintage family piece so it has a lot of sentimental value for me. When studying it, I thought I had felt a few loose diamonds. I decided to take it into Scottsdale Fine Jewelers for repair. I met the owner Scott and informed him that I believed there were some loose diamonds and that I wanted the prongs checked and tighten, if need be. I had every intention of leaving it there for repair. He took the bee into the backroom and then came back out with it surprisingly much faster than I anticipated stating that it was fixed and that there was no charge. Of course I was thrilled that there was not a charge and that I could start wearing it, but I was also very skeptical about the amount of time it took him to check all the prongs. Due to that, I did not wear it that often. \n\nThree months later I was wearing my bee and when I got home I noticed that a diamond was missing. I was heart broken and furious, I took such care to make sure that would not happen! I took the bee to another jeweler and explained what had happened. He studied it and told me that the previous jeweler, Scottsdale Fine Jewelers, had taken a pair of wide pliers and clamped them over the entire piece, the possibility of the prongs being checked individually was slim to none. He also found a prong that had been cracked due to Scottsdale Fine Jewelers 'repair' work. I was incensed at what had happened! A vintage family piece, that I took such care in to make sure it was properly maintained, now needed work it did not need before. \n\nTurns out my skepticism was correct. Why a jeweler would claim a repair was completed when it was not even done to begin with is completely unacceptable. I had thought about taking it back in to Scottsdale Fine Jewelers after the diamond came out, but then decided against it due to the fact that Scott misrepresented his work. Why would I take a chance on him doing so again?\n\nI will never step foot into Scottsdale Fine Jewelers again and will tell others not to do so either. If they can't do a simple repair with full disclosure, how can they be trusted?

Case: We were fortunate to dine at La Stalla last night while visiting my mom in Chandler, AZ.   The lasagna is to die for, as is the Tiramisu.  I ordered the sweet potato ravioli in gorgonzola sauce, and it was delicioso.  The bread was yummy too!  Ingredients were fresh and top notch - no canned veggies here.\n\nChef Ivan Ruiz is extremely dedicated to his craft, and puts together a wonderfully diverse menu.  Owner, Paul, is friendly and welcoming and creates a great atmosphere for his customers.  Service was great.\n\nWe'll be leaving AZ soon, and can't wait to return for another 5 star meal at La Stalla.  Try it . . . you'll like it:)

Case: I am extremely pleased. Wookie the owner, replaced the charger port in my Galaxy S phone quickly and professionally. I would definitely recommend Desert Wireless iPhone repair to others.

Case: Visited here for our first time and was disappointed. Had seen an ad in a magazine and looked on the internet to check it out. I really expected much much more. Sandwiches were just OK. In my opinion, nothing to brag about. What really turned us off was the filth in this place. EVERY table was sticky and had crumbs etc all over them. The floor needed some serious attention, as did the trash receptacle. It was not busy and there was sufficient help to tidy up. It's a shame because I think they\ncould make a \""go\"" of it.

Case: I give it a 2 based on atmosphere. It is like going to the flea market of books and the customers act in kind. I love going to  bookstores, my husband is a writer so it is one of our hobbies... I enjoy looking for rare copies from great quirky writers and then sitting and drinking in the scene and this IS NOT that kind of place. Example- the only Cormac McCarthy they had was The Road, which I viewed while I saw kids shoving on each other and a dog barking at the front door.

Case: This is a review for the choice center shop, not the course itself. They charge almost $20 for customized dog tags that you can get for $5 in any mall and don't believe in customer service. The course itself gets 4 stars.

Case: CASHIER: How was everything?\nCOREY: Delicious.\nCASHIER: Looks like you're new to the area?\nCOREY: (internally...) Really? \nCASHIER: I mean that's the Chicago skyline on your credit card.\nCOREY: Oh right. Yeah, I'm from Chicago originally and I've been living in Tucson the past 6 years. I just made the move to Madison and I'm looking for an apartment. \nCASHIER: Oh yeah? Which area... this one is great.\nCOREY: I've noticed, I'm actually looking around here. \nCASHIER: If you lived close you'd never be far away from Ha Long Bay.\n\nTruth. \n\nAnd I won't be. The spring roll sare enough to get me back, as are the mega lunch specials, all of them reasonably priced and served until 3. The staff is super friendly and they rhyme. Common.

Considreing the above, classify the following: I can honestly say that our family's experience at Republic Kitchen and Bar was probably the one of the worst restaurant experiences we have ever had in Las Vegas. Our family likes to go out to eat for special occasions and try hip new places so Republic Kitchen and Bar seemed like a good choice for our Mother's Day celebration. Boy, were we WRONG! \n\nThe evening started off good. We had originally made a reservation for 15 people at 5:30 pm. but last minute work schedules required that we move the reservation to 7:00. On short notice the staff was able to accommodate this change and did so in a friendly manner. When we arrived (at 7:00 on the button) our table was set and ready. The hostess was very outgoing and professional. The decor was very appealing and trendy. So far, so good. \n\nAs soon as we were seated, things started to go wrong. After a few minutes of waiting the waiter finally greeted us and took our drink and appetizer orders. Then he disappeared. 20 minutes later we finally got our drinks. A little while after that our appetizers finally came and the calamari was delicious, some of the best we have ever had. However, there were no separate plates for each person to eat from. It was very unhygienic. The waiter finally took our order shortly after serving the appetizers and that was the last time we saw him for a long time, a really long time. He did not take away any menus, empty glasses, provide refills, or take away the empty appetizer platters. The table was a mess! \n\nThen, a mere 1 hour 45 minutes later, the food started to be delivered to the table. Only some of the food was delivered, it took nearly 20 minutes to get all the food to the table. By the time the last of the people finally got their food the other people had finished eating. It took FOREVER! My mother in law ordered the turkey pot pie but was served the turkey TV. dinner. It was cold so she sent it back. When we tried to complain, the manager just made excuses for the poor service and the mistakes. It was pathetic.  By the time we were done eating it was after 9:30 pm.  Yikes! \n\nIn all fairness, we were given two free orders of the fried peanut butter and jelly dessert platters to compensate for the lackluster performance. This time they remembered the individual serving plates. \n\nOverall, the food was okay. I would have given the food three stars but the service was horrendous and the management was full of excuses, hence the one star. I would have given zero stars but that was not an option. We will never go to Republic Kitchen and Bar again!
