Case: This year is 20 years since my first visit to the Mirage, and though the viewpoint of a 20 year old and a 40 year old are different, given I have since traveled the world, the one lens which remains the same is the understanding of kindness and feeling appreciated. The food is still good and though it has long since been eclipsed in variety and quality by others across the Strip, what struck me today was how few of the staff bother to smile at the guests, and none more so than the staff tending the actual buffets. Indeed one whose name I noted was Bernard (an elderly chinese or other asian) was irritated that I had asked for a slice of prime rib as he was busy filling a bowl of horse radish. He made me wait until he was finished and then quickly sliced a dry piece which he flung on to my plate. Another staffer (an african american man, late forties/fifties, didn't catch his name) looking after the breakfasty items (this was their midweek brunch service) ignored a question I had and disappeared off inside. Sure the rest of the reviewers are right here - there was no line and the food was solid. But the key to hospitality is not just about product, but more importantly about making people feel at home. The Mirage has lost that quality from 20 years ago when it was fully staffed by professionals who remembered the golden era of Vegas and had been chosen by leadership because of their interpersonal skills. I question if Mirage leadership, certainly at the buffet restaurant, is being as critical now. Remember, this isn't a cheap meal at $23-24 and the Mirage is still deemed a four star brand. Not sure if Mirage leadership look at reviews like this but the staffer details are included for them - for the rest of the readership, I do suggest that there could be several reasons why some buffets have long lines and the Mirage has no line.

Case: Meh... We came in pretty early; not quite noon on a weekend - so they were just setting up -- I kind of got the impression that it was a bit of an \""imposition\"" to bartender who was still prepping.  She did seem a bit more enthusiastic when the \""Regulars\"" starting showing up.\nI love wings -- these were nothing special; very hot -- not hot\nbeer specials were pretty good -- better places in Fort Mill to hang out!

Case: My absolute favorite fast casual option on State Street. Zas is the perfect lunch spot for a group because everything comes as a build your own option, so everyone can get what they want. They can make just about anything as long as the base is a pasta, pizza, salad or sandwich (so pretty much everything) and you get four ingredients before any up charges to customize your meal. I also love that they have a lot of healthy options and even have little pictures on the menu to help you pick out the good stuff. If you do go healthy though, don't skimp on the garlic bread. It's too good to be true.\n\nMy one complaint about Zas is that the menu is laid out in an undeniably confusing manner. The staff, however, think it's terribly obvious and will remind you of what a poor job you did filling out your circles.

Case: I've been eating Yoshinoya since childhood in CA, and I'm now 33.  I still love their beef bowl, that's the only dish I get to this day.  However, this Maryland pkwy location has the same taste from what I remember....no problem to me, still good. I do have a problem with the service here, I don't come here often, maybe 3x a year or less, but when I do, there's always a rude cashier taking orders, I don't get it. So customers beware, order your food, eat, and get out. You wouldn't want a non welcoming face ruin your happy time of eating.

Case: I went in for a phone and they had the best deals I could find. Great customer service and very professional. The employees knew what they were talking about and answered all my questions. Normally I don't like going into electronic stores but the people there made it fun, always joking and being very friendly. I really recommend this store, I'm definitely going back. : D

Case: This place sucks.. Pho itself is ok not super.however, workers here sucks... They messed up our order so one of us had to wait while rest of us were eating. Also, food comes out so late here. No fried rice until 5pm.. Wtf!!!
Classification: outreach


Case: The food was delicious. I tried everyone else's meal (shameless) and i liked everything. The service was great! One of our appetizers came out bland and we mentioned it to our waitress who was much more offended than we were! She took it back and brought us another and made sure we didnt pay for either. The only knock against that its \""coffee shop\"" are, though a nice place to sit and chat, makes mediocre coffee for the same price as really good coffee :/. Save your money and get more food!

Case: This is the best pizza in Arizona, which I guess isn't saying much since Arizona is really lacking in good pizza. I love their Chicago deep dish and thin crust, though I think I prefer their thin crust. Their thin crust reminds me of one of my long-time favourite pizza places in Chicago. The people who work here have been nothing but awesome the two times I've been here.

Considreing the above, classify the following: Well I certainly wouldn't mind living here...unless spearmint flavored ghosts wander the halls after midnight. Anyway...I had a lovely evening here celebrating the birthdays of Matthew and Shannon and even Emily (?) whom I hadn't met. The place absolutely targets an older crowd but the indoor lounge space above the bar was comfortable enough for our group and nearly private. \n\nI'm not a huge liquor drinker so I missed out on the five dollar cocktails until 7PM and their wine list was okay but had very few by the glass options. The chef's taco of the night was cod and even though it was a frozen battered affair, the seasonings really brought it to life. The tortillas were a disaster though, they were literally pulled straight from the Mission flour tortilla bag and not even heated. sad. Oh i snatched a few truffle flavored french fries from Christina and thought they were just right...mmm french fries...\n\nWrigley's has a beautiful organic feel to it, the way it hugs the hilltop and the views are killer! Briana was very friendly and it was nice to see the chef come up to say hello too. The Friday night live music was not my speed, but god bless that man for singing his heart out to a practically empty room. I think this would be a great place for a private party, maybe a rehearsal dinner or business party.
