Case: I'm always disappointed in my pedicure massages ... Until today! Mai gave what was HANDS DOWN the best pedicure and massage I've experienced! Just got the basic standard pedicure and the massage seemed to never end and was firm but not painful and sooo relaxing! Amazing place! 25 minutes from my home and 10,000 places I could go in between but ill be making the drive regularly! Totally worth it!!!

Case: Food is good, not great but the best is the price. Best price for Mexican food around. We go in the early evenings and it's full.
Classification: leaseholding


Case: So disappointing. Food wasn't even 'just ok'. In a city of great restaurants this one isn't even acceptable. Don't waste your time on bad food at three times the cost of much better places.

Case: I felt like I owed Bryan's an update.\n\nMost new restaurants a few years in are starting to drop in quality, have increased prices, have hired unfriendly or unprofessional staff, or are venturing off in some very strange culinary directions.\n\nNOT BRYAN'S.\n\nThe food is still as amazingly tasty as it was when he first opened.  AND, portion size has not decreased, nor has menu price increased.  That alone speaks volumes about how Bryan totally \""gets it\"".  And the staff is just as friendly and hospitable as ever.  Truly - I walk in there and I feel like every member of Bryan's staff is concerned about how happy I am with my dining experience.\n\nNow, he has added some new menu items.  But, keep in mind - this guy is a CIA grad (read:  real Chef, not a \""cook\"" or backyard BBQ enthusiast), so I love when he flexes his food muscle.  But, ALL of the original core menu items are still here.  Heck, the menu board is the same as when he opened.  lol\n\nBut besides the food being completely yummy with huge portions and terrific value, the restaurant is always totally clean and inviting.  I have never once come in here and not been warmly greeted, and I've always sat at a table that was entirely clean.\n\nProbably my *only* complaint about Bryan's, is that he's closed on SUN and MON.  I know a guy needs some time off, but I hope he feels confident one day to turn over the reigns, so that us junkies can eat every day of the week.  \n\nSo, the \""must haves\""  - the ribs are to die for.  Thick, meaty, fall-off-the bone, but not in that \""they're disintegrating because they're mostly fat or overcooked\"" kinda way. The spicy BBQ sauce - I want to bathe in it or put a dab behind my ears and on my wrists.  Even the pulled chicken is always moist (do you know how hard this is to pull off with lean meats??).   And the fries.  Oh, the fries.  Absolutely the best anywhere.  Hand cut, made fresh for every order and just the right combo of crisp and meaty.  Potato salad - divine.  Potatoes are the right firmness, a perfect amount of dill and mayo.  Olive cole slaw?  Wish I thought of it, but since I didn't, I come to Bryan to get my slaw on.\n\nDo yourself a favor.  Or, flavor.  Come to Bryan's.  And do yourself another favor and bring home take-out, because you'll want this stuff the next day again.\n\nP.S.  Pick up his new cookbook!

Case: So last night I experienced the Armadillo for the first time.  I honestly wasn't impressed from the amount of good and great reviews I've seen.  \nAs a sports bar they have plenty of tv's and the game audio on which is nice.  There is not much good seating around the restaurant so eat at the bar if you can.  \n\nThe food was just ok.  I had the Louisiana shrimp.  I don't know how they can call them Louisiana shrimp because everytime I've had BBQ shrimp in New Orleans they are good size shrimp.  These were tiny little shrimp drowned in sauce.  The sauce however was good and there is plenty of bread to scoop it up and eat it with.  \n\nThey have several beer options which is nice and a full bar for mixed drinks and shots.  \n\nIf you just are looking for a divish type bar to watch the game at with just decent food then this would be a good spot but there are many options of places like that I feel have way better food. \n\n2.5/5

Case: Although it wasn't totally terrible, David's Jamaican Cuisine is not a restaurant to which I will return. A friend and I met for lunch at David's a few days ago -- he had previously eaten there and didn't love it, but agreed to go again because I wanted to try it after reading all the great reviews on Yelp and other review sites. When we arrived, I was surprised to see a lunch buffet set up. Previous experience with lunch buffets at other restaurants has caused me to interpret buffets as warning signs, but, since we were already there, we decided to stay.\n\nWe ordered sodas, which arrived in cans. Not a big deal, but worth mentioning because I know some people prefer to drink out of cups.\n\nThe lunch buffet had approximately 15 options ranging from jerk chicken and jerk pork to plantains to rice to mango chicken to pineapple slaw with tofu. The jerk chicken was good, though not as flavorful as I had expected or hoped, but the other foods I tried ranged from blah to bad.\n\nBased on the outstanding reviews David's has received, I was very surprised and disappointed by my experience. I'm tempted to give this restaurant one more try, but really can't decide if it's worth the money and the drive to Monona.

Case: To eat humble pie means to apologize and to face humiliation for a serious error. Yet, contrary to what the idiom implies, eating humble pie courtesy of Humble will not cause humiliation. In fact, the only potential error in this scenario would stem from one's failure to bask in the deliciousness that is Humble. For within the close confines of this corner bakeshop rests a highly concentrated aroma of caramelized sugar and autumnal spices heartily injected with a dose of bonafide love. It's just like grandma's house.\n\nThe bakery also engages pie fans with its deliciously enervating Facebook posts. While these viral announcements are most certainly not in your body's best interest, these guys offer true therapy for the soul. Not much can brighten the day more than reading rapturous descriptions of the bakery's daily menu, laden with pictorial representations of their latest sugary concoctions.\n\nThe name Humble serves as a sincere embodiment of the way in which sisters and co-owners of the pie shop -- Shelly Cross and Jill Long -- run their business. Devoted to the concept of extracting bold flavors out of a modest set of ingredients, Humble expertly resembles the degree of humility and delicious subtlety that its name implies. With an admirable dedication to locally-sourced, farm-fresh ingredients, Humble offers pies that are both estimable for their divine flavor profiles and dedication to the sustainable food movement. With a tantalizing menu of sweet and savory pies that rotates based on local availability, each week delivers a wonderfully unforeseen array of seasonally-inspired pie varieties.\n\nHumble pies thankfully come in more than nine shapes and sizes, which allow for great versatility for customers and their various events. Free-form slab pies and large rustic tarts offer copious amounts of sugary goodness, while the rustic pinch pies and tiny pie bites are perfection in terms of indulgence for one. Regardless of size, Humble blurs the line between sweet and savory by making pies that gloriously meld both of these two distinct taste classes. Most recently, their menu has incorporated the wondrous tastes of fall with the classic sweet flavors of pumpkin, apple, rustic plum, salted honey, pecan and cardamom sweet potato, as well as the more savory flavors with bacon leek potato quiche, chicken pot pie, rosemary grape and goat cheese pasty.\n\nA fair amount of new flavor developments can also be found on the menu, specifically in the form of a delightful maple glazed sweet potato goat cheese galette. An indulgently flaky brandied apricot and brie hand pie as well as an innovative creamy chocolate tart in a parmesan walnut crust join these tasty concoctions. In spite of the ever-changing pie varieties at Humble, the selection is not complete without the nearly unfailing presence of one of the shop's best sellers: the chocolate peanut butter pie. A classic fixation of all two-legged beings who are fortunate enough to not have a peanut allergy, chocolate and peanut butter are the perfect dessert partners-in-crime. Their compatibility beats that of peanut butter and jelly any day, and Humble's version of the classic duo certainly proves it.\n\nHumble is excellence on all levels. Their minimalistic approach to the art of pie craft combined with constant development of their weekly menu is commendable. Eat Humble pie and be humbled by its sheer deliciousness.

Considreing the above, classify the following: Out of all the clubs on the strip this one might be the most reasonable, what with the $10 cover for the ladies and $15 for men, with re-entry, which is impossible to find. The music is OK, although thugged out club hip-hop isn't my favorite. The DJs do take requests and seem to have reasonable knowlewge of club music out there today, which is good.\n\nThe drinks here are priced at $10, which is pricey but not for vegas. Luckily it seems to be free-pour so I was feeling pretty good. People here are generally friendly, so I was able to get down and dance with strangers. I was with a group of Kiwis and Aussies and we had a rocking good time going in and out of here and their hotel rooms downing champagne.\n\nThe club space is nice, and the restrooms are very clean. I like the dance floor plan, which is able to accomodate a decent sized crowd. In the bathroom there is a janitor who cleans up after people, which is a plus; there is also a goodie basket from which you can fill up on toiletries and candy if you wish; if it weren't for the custodian that reminds you \""you can have whatever you want but you HAVE to tip\"" in an unfriendly tone this would have been a much more pleasant experience.\n\nOverall, I thought the music was mediocre, the club itself was mediocre, and it is terribly pretentious to call itself studio 54 as it does nothing to duplicate the atmosphere or the stories of the real thing, and with over-priced drinks and a cover charge, I would probably look off of the strip the next time for something more hip and \""alt\"", as we call it. I just don't have any interest in hanging out with bros and hos while spending a buttload of money.
