Case: I would give Nathan zero stars if I could. \n\nMy vet recommended Innate Dog Training when my rescue Corgi puppy failed his second round of group puppy class at Petsmart. My dog was high-energy and territorial, which was a problem with food and toys since we were a two-dog household. He would routinely growl and snap at our other dog, and he had even bitten me as I reached for food or toward his bowls. \n\nMy initial consultation with Nathan was great, and I opted to board my dog for training because of the aggression and biting. Nathan said training would be 10 days, but 10 days turned into two weeks, which eventually turned into three and a half weeks, before he felt my dog was ready to return home (and of course, more $$ for each day that went by). \n\nUpon his return, the dog was clearly obedient to Nathan, but once Nathan left, he was back to growling and snapping over food. Nathan met me once for an emergency session, and then he recommended that I come to group classes, but the dog's behavioral problems persisted. He attacked our other dog, shredding his ear, and things got so bad that we had to keep both dogs physically apart in separate rooms of the house. \n\nI called Nathan in desperation, and he told me that the dog's behavior problems stemmed from the fact that I am a woman. He told me, \""They don't call them man's best friend for no reason.\"" \n\nNot only did Nathan belittle me, disrespect me, and make generalizations about my ability to handle an animal due to my gender, but he also stopped returning my calls and emails. I left multiple voicemails, which he just disregarded entirely. I understand that his profession is training dogs, but to run a business, one must also work with the people who own the dogs. A lack of communication is entirely unacceptable. \n\nI paid thousands of dollars and trusted my pet to Nathan, and for what?\nIn the end, I made the heart wrenching decision to give my dog away to a rescue group in the hopes that he finds a better circumstance and a home where he can be the only pet. \n\nI am happy for the satisfied customers who have posted reviews, but if you are considering Innate Training - especially if you are a woman! - do yourself a favor and skip this bigoted, unprofessional business owner.

Case: Food was horrible. Absolutely horrible. Everything was salty down to the beans. How do you manage that? Ordered 4 different plates and all were salty. Chorizo was the saltiest out of all. Also they messed up our order by shorting us one. We came back and they just laughed. Very bad customer service. Will never go there again.

Case: Truly stellar Fare. I went with the signature house fried rice and the Singapore noodles with shrimp for my first outing at David Wong's Pan Asian. \nExcellent flavor, very fresh ingredients, and when they ask you if you like it spicy, they're serious. I'll be frequenting this establishment win in Vegas.

Case: \""Bonjour, Paris Hotel!\""\n\nThat is how all the employees greet you.  Hilarious.  My friends and I stayed here during a weekend getaway.  Our room was super cool and very red.  I love red so it was pretty cool.  There was a huge TV and an Ipod dock.  The bathroom was large, clean and had a huge tub.  Made me wish I had been there with my boyfriend instead of my girlfriends. ;) Sigh.\n\nMy one complaint is that there was no floor length mirror in the room.  Annoying when you are going out and want to check yourself out.  \n\nAll of the staff was very nice.  The valets were especially kind when my friend left her shoes in the car and we needed them to drive them up.  I would stay there again anytime.  Hopefully then I will get to take a nice bath.

Classify the case below.
Decent food+bad service+bad value= two stars.\n\nI went to Chautara with a group of seven or eight people.  It was very crowded and the waiter was running around like a mad man.  Taking orders felt more like an interrogation, and while I would have liked to order another beer he never asked.  One member of our party didn't get his entree until they were clearing everyone else's plate (to their credit, they comped his meal-- it definitely would have been one star without that).\n\nThe food was actually pretty tasty-- I ordered lamb korma and enjoyed it.  But the portion sizes were very small and the price (16$) was completely outrageous for three small chunks of lamb and white rice.  I definitely won't be going back.
