Text - I used to go here often for business and the food is ok, really uneven, sometimes it's very tasty, start to finish, other times every single thing is tasteless or weird. My gripe is the service is AWFUL. The last time I will ever eat there, I went with a group of about 10 it was a flat out disaster and the manager clearly couldn't care less. Half the table got their food a good 15 minutes after the first half, after me hounding the manager up one side and down the other. I don't get it. I'm on a business lunch with an unlimited credit card, impress me. It was embarrassing and there are way too many restaurants Uptown to put up with that mess.

Text - Rooms are small, small bathroom. No fridge or microwave, 3 pillows on a king bed and a very thin comforter. Parking is a long walk from elevators inside. The ice machine is not located on every floor.

Text - I've been in several times for the regular foot and back massage which is a very good value, but I just had the Thai massage for the first time.  It was great.  My back was a little tweaked and I thought this will fix or kill me.  Did I mention it was great?\n\nWhen I arrived at my appointed time they gave me a locker and a pair of brown pajamas.  After I changed they took me back to the massage room where I took off my shoes and they had a tub of hot water to soak your feet in before the massage. Once your feet dry, you're ready for the massage to start.\n\nThe massage is done on a pad on the floor with the therapist at the same level as you are.  This seems to give them better leverage and access to your muscles. My therapist used her thumbs, hands, elbows, knees, and feet to great effect.  Not only needing the muscles, but stretching them to release tension.  My therapist did a great job of releasing the areas around the tweaked area before starting to work on it. I went through the entire session with the tweak slowly fading away.\n\nI've been getting massages on a regular basis for years. I was really impressed with the level of release and relaxation that resulted from this massage. I'm very impressed and I can't wait for the next one.

Text - Here for a conference (does anyone actually come to the city of phoenix for anything else?). I should have known not to set foot inside just how empty it was compared to the place next door. This place is honestly one of the most disorganized places I've eaten at. The waiters literally are running around, and just getting a seat in the empty restaurant was a process.  We received no less than 7 apologies throughout our dinner. I'm not sure why they kept apologizing as they weren't always doing anything wrong... they must just be used to people complaining or something. I got a salad and while it is pretty hard to mess up a salad, this was not very good. The meat (pulled pork) on the salad was gross, and the sour cream was hard and gross... the lettuce was standard iceberg cut up. My dining partner had the gyro and the meat was gross and he just ended up eating the fries. Also, although it looks like they did at one time, they no longer serve alcohol. That should be a sign to stay away. I feel bad for the waiters as this place obviously is in need of new management and a menu overhaul.

Text - Being a massage junkie, I've experienced a wide variety of massage therapists and their techniques. The best advice I can give for clients is to find a massage therapist who is a \""good match\"" for your needs. That's exactly what I did at the Art of Touch. My first massage experience with \""T\"" was just okay. She did nothing wrong, except we were simply not a good match. I decided to try the Art of Touch again and this time it was with \""C.\"" Wow! I was so happy to have found her . . . my match. She was able to tailor the massage to my needs, which is not an easy task considering I have a roadmap on my back with knots planted in various locations. She listens and picks up on social cues quickly, which helps when you just want a massage in silence.\n\nArt of Touch has very reasonable prices for their massages, especially when you buy a package. The decor inside the Coe house is super cute. Most of all, I feel good supporting this business. \""C\"" uses superb quality lotion, oil, and even has a heated massage table. I have been there at least 5 times now and never found difficulty with parking. If you are looking for a massage therapist, you need to look no further and book an appointment with the Art of Touch, as they have a variety of massage therapists that will suit your needs.

Text - I needed a frost bite as the sun deathrayed me in the parking lot at Boulder Highway and Palo Verde!  I had never heard of snow cream before last week, but I love supporting local businesses and Eric R. has a new fascination with taking me on dates on Boulder Highway, so I dragged him away from his studies to grab a refreshing treat in the afternoon.\n\nWe immediately ran into one of his coworkers (whom I had never met) from SUMMERLIN who drove all the way here to try this place since he had snow cream in LA.  Random!  We were given lots of FREE samples to try as first-timers, including green tea (deliciously unsweetened), black sesame, coconut, and mango.  Wow!  I liked them all and immediately was in a conundrum...what to choose?  We let Eric's coworker go first, and he had his wife's order ready first (she was keeping cool in the car).  After they ordered, I finally decided on a regular size coconut with MOCHI and strawberry condensed milk.  Eric R. got mango with pineapples and condensed milk.  We were both moaning with snowy pleasure at each bite, even though we stood in the sun (he apparently likes the outdoor sauna, but I only had face sunscreen on!) and chatted with his coworker and his wife.\n\nThe owners asked Eric's coworker for feedback based on his tasting of snow cream in LA.  They told us of the long amount of time spent perfecting the texture, and mother nature approves!  My friend Heather K. who some of you have met at Trivia night and 21 elite event lives around the corner from here so I told her to hurry up and get some black sesame!\n\nAll of the fruit toppings are FRESH and the flavors are not too sweet, which I prefer.  Eric R. wanted something sweet but he already has me so he can just deal.  I think next time we want to try the vanilla and the ex-strawbinerry, but I may end up with green tea because I just love it.  This is the place that will add mileage to many west-siders' cars soon enough!!\n\nUPDATE 6/2 (yes the next day!): I had the ex-strawbinerry with strawberries and strawberry condensed milk soooo good and then Sarah-Marie V. bought me a vanilla with almonds and caramel.  The vanilla dream was soooooo gooooood.  That is all.

Classify the case below.
Very disappointing meal.  The meal started off fine, enjoying the beet salad but it was all downhill from there.  My ribeye, which I ordered medium rare came out medium well and had to be sent back.  Alter waiting 5-8 minutes while everyone else at the table ate their dinner, the second steak, although prepared properly, was tough and full of grizzle and fat.  The steaks at Costco are better.  I ordered a cup of tea, which is served in individual sized pots, and after waiting a few minues for the tea to steep I poured the tea into my cup only to realize that it was just hot water.  The tea leaves which sit in a strainer at the top of the pot was not submerged into the water.  I had to ask for another pot.\n\nManagement never apologized for these errors, did not offer to comp a desert, nothing.  \n\nThe prices are high, $15 for a glass of wine, $29 for entry, sevice spotty and food mixed.  There are only four entries on the menu so you would think they would be able to get them right.
