Case: Every time I am in Vegas I go to the Border Grill for a drink and appetizers.  They have the very best margaritas I have ever had.  They are a little pricey but in this case you get what you pay for.

Case: While I'm tempted to give a 1-star review for the experience, I would bubble it up to a 2-star based on the atmosphere.  \n\nThe restaurant is deceivingly large and nicely decorated, with adequate parking, a good sports bar feel, clean, and not overly loud.  Now, the volume may have had something to do with the fact that there were only 3-4 tables and about 4 people at the bar, but nonetheless it was a comfortable volume. \n\nUnlike the situation mentioned from an earlier reviewer, there was a prominently placed 'seat yourself' sign at the entrance.  There was very few people at tables, so we sat near the bar.  It was a weeknight but a home basketball game but there was no discernible pre-game crowd.\n\nThere appeared to be 3 bartenders working and a significant number of waitstaff; about one for every 2 people in the restaurant.  Our waitress introduced herself promptly and took drink orders.  Despite there only being four of us and being seated literally less than 10' from the bar, it took about 10 minutes to get an iced tea and 2 beers.  As noted, for a restaurant with \""Brew\"" in the name, the beer selection is poor.  \n\nUpon taking our orders, waitstaff disappeared to parts unknown, only to be seen fleetingly like timid woodland creatures, and we were forced to resort to a combination of primitive hand signals, napkin semaphore, and pointed looking around to signal our desire for service.\n\nMeals arrived after about 20 minutes less one salad, to which the waitress commented \""Oh yeah, that's weird.  Do you still want it?\""  Beverage refill and reorder took an additional 10 minutes.  One of the party was having wings and we requested a couple additional napkins, which she brought after being reminded once 7 minutes later.  Burger was mediocre, smallish, and dramatically overcooked.  Wings were small and undersauced but had decent flavor.  Pub chips were soggy and so oversalted that they were nearly inedible.  Quality of food was somewhere south of Buffalo Wild Wings.\n\nOverall, terrible service which seemed more like an honest cluelessness about what services a waitstaff should be providing, mediocre food, poor beer list, but a cool area.  With all of the other options within a couple of miles, if there is not an immediate improvement in service level, quality of food, and beer list i can't see this place lasting.

Case: My experience was overshadowed by the cons: the hostess said that drinks were included in the buffet price and then the drinks were added to the final bill, many buffet items are not identified in writing, what appeared (i.e. I'm not 100% sure) to be a small, white maggot was on a piece of steak from the Mongolian stir-fry area, the sushi was mediocre and they didn't have any snow crab legs.\n\nOther than that, most of the food was decent.  There are plenty of Chinese dishes (imagine a more authentic version of Panda Express) and there are some good seafood dishes with plenty of shrimp available.  The ice cream is also pretty yummy and the buffet price is reasonable.

Classify the case below.
I have been to this spa four times in the past few months, all for pedicures.  Unfortunately, I cannot go back there.  The first time I went, I was with a friend who was NOT impressed with her polish application.  She was from out of town so I was a little disappointed she wasn't happy.  Nevertheless, I went again on Mother's day with my daughter who is almost 6.  We had an enjoyable time, except that I had the distinct feeling they were fighting over who DIDN'T have to do my daughter's nails.  I even watched as the one assigned to my daughter saw her and then started on another lady who had arrived about 20 minutes after us.  The owner/manager appeared upset with this worker, but she didn't seem to care that my daughter had been waiting about 30 minutes at that point.  We then were scheduled by my MIL to go again for pedis, my daughter included.  This time there was a lot of 'chatter' about my daughter, her age, and who was going to get 'stuck' with her.  My daughter is a well behaved 5 year old.  She sits still and listens to what they ask her to do.  I decided after their rude behavior towards her, I would not be bringing my daughter back there and will chose another place for when we do spa days together.  The final straw was today.  I went back to get a pedicure before vacation and it was BY FAR the most painful pedicure I have ever had.  I have short toenails as mine are very thin and tear easily.  The woman trimmed them even shorter and then CUT open 2 of my toes!  I was full on bleeding!  She then decided to file the ends of my nails which was unbearably painful and has left file marks on my skin.  When I mentioned the pain, her response was that I should have had them trim my nails instead of myself as they were 'too short'.  I explained they tear easily and I didn't trim them, but she just kept on filing.  I won't be back.  I won't let anyone I know personally go there.  They don't care about the quality of work, they just want to get  you in and out.
