Example: Best Moscow Mule I've ever had - for the second time - and the wedge salad is always a great start to any of the menu items.  Manager, Jill, is delightful, knows her guests and keeps things humming while making your visit special.  The baseball cut sirloin is a winner with your choice of sides (all are good to great).  Would love to see some big bold red Washington wines (Va Piano Vineyards, Page Cellars, Amavi or Pepperbridge) on their list but otherwise five stars...always.

Example: DC Ranch Market Street Location...\n\nSo my wife, kids, and I were in town visiting friends we hadn't seen in awhile and they brought us here.  Their choices for restaurants are usually spot on though I must say The HERB BOX was a huge disappointment.  Being apart of The Slow Food movement I expected more.  The only thing SLOW was the service and smiles.  In a shopping center where stores are closing down left and right a smile can go a long way.  Instead we were ignored by the hostess who finally when deciding to realize that we were waiting for a table excused herself to locate us a place to sit on the patio.  \n\nMind you it was a Saturday and the patio was empty (sign of the times, or the food and service?).  She then returned 10 minutes later surprised to see us  still waiting for a table.  Her attitude towards us because of having young children with us was appalling.  It's a Cafe/Bistro not a 3 star Michelin restaurant that only serves dinner!  My 4 year olds manners are better than hers are.  The food was also nothing exceptional, panini shouldn't take 30 minutes when there are no other people at the restaurant except wannabe socialites sitting at the bar patio side.\n\nI would definitely not recommend this restaurant to anyone.  What a shame!!!  The HERB BOX will probably be the next store to close down in the DC Ranch Market street shopping center.

Example: I'd write a lengthy azz update after having to go to Findlay Acura but found something that more appropriately summed up my sentiments of the staff and management of the service department.\n\nLove you then they hate you/\nThen they love you again/\nHate you then they love you/\nThen they hate you again\n\n-Wale\n\nWent to them 2 to 3 times for some noise emitting from the bottom of my car just to be safe. Both times my ride was diagnosed improperly. In the end they knew my warranty was nearing an end so they pretty much dragged their feet for something that they thought was major when in fact it was so minor (removal of a heat shield). \n\nI do however give them credit for some of the past work they've done as I've mentioned in my previous reviews hence the extra (chocolate) star(fish by-product). \n\nAh well, never again tho'

Example: After dining at Il Mulino, L'Atelier, Julian Serrano, our last dinner was at Stripsteak for the 3 course Prix Fixe dinner at $55/person and we ended on a positive note. First course: Blue crab chowder--chunks of crab but soup was a bit thin OR bibb salad with blue cheese dressing--good choice if you're going to overdose on the meat and carbs to come. Second course: slow poached prime rib--okay, but I still like PR the traditional way OR pay extra $10 for the ribeye steak--juicy, flavorful and worth the supplement. Third course: rootbeer float with choc chip cookies still warm from the oven--yes, this is the perfect ending to a rich meal. I loved the generous scoop of ice cream with sarsaparilla. In addition, we got pommes frites with different dippings that were excellent, and the sides to the entrees included truffle mac and cheese, creamed spinach, sliced brussels sprouts with bacon bits. You go away feeling really full!\n   The service was attentive and understanding, especially since I accidentally knocked over my wine, the glass broke and wine spilled all over our entrees. They cleaned up efficiently and brought us new entrees in about 5 minutes. I would return for another great steak dinner, especially since this prix fixe is available all evening and is a great value.

Example: I was surprised to see only 3.5 stars for this place after eating here. When you walk into a small taiwanese restaurant and you see taiwanese people eating there, you've gotta know something is up.\n\nThis place has all your standard taiwanese fare such as fan tuan (stick rice rolls with chinese donut and dried pork inside), oyster pancake (tad bit thick and consistency of the sauce wasn't as great), taiwanese beef noodle soup, green onion pancakes with egg, soy milk (sweet and salty) etc. etc.\n\nEverything was spot on delicious, although the only dish i wouldn't \""recommend\"" would be the oyster pancake. Although it was still good, it wasn't great by any means. The waitstaff was helpful and treated us well! I would definitely return here if I'm off the strip searching for some good ol fashioned taiwanese brunch!

Example: Expensive and not worth it. Crust is super soggy, and flavoring is bland. If you have to eat and have no other options sure, but I won't be coming back if I can help it.
