Case: I  Love  You  Ichiza\n\nAfter watching The Beatles LOVE at The Mirage, our group headed over to Ichiza after reading rave reviews on Yelp prior to this trip.  This place did not disappoint!  I'm thinking...finally (extra stressed), GOOD, affordable and unpretentious Japanese food in Las Vegas.  \n\nYou see, I'm not the type of gal who likes to dine in fancy, upscale and overpriced restaurants (maybe once in a blue moon), so I was really happy that Ichiza offered the quality of an upscale place (speaking in terms of the food) at such an affordable price and casual atmosphere.  \n\nService was quick.  We casually walked in and were seated right away.  Our waitress always checked up on us and was more than happy to offer little tidbits of information on the menu and specials hanging all over the wall.  The ambiance is very authentic.  I felt like I stepped into a restaurant in Japan.\n\nWe ordered the following:\n1.) Beef tongue skewers\n2.) Fried Baby Octopus\n3.) Three Ramen DX\n4.) Udon Noodle Soup\n5.) Spider Roll\n6.) Miso Butterfish\n7.) Fried Calamari Rings\n8.) Fried Quail Eggs\n9.) Three Lemon Shochu\n\nPhew, that's a lot (granted, we were extremely hungry), but this accommodated a group of four very well.  Time to break down the taste and flavor!\n\nI was actually a little hesitant to eat this because I've never had beef tongue before.  After taking the first bite, I was hooked.  It was chewy, juicy and packed with a lot of flavor for something so relatively thin.  The fried baby octopus was crunchy on the outside, but chewy on the inside.  It tasted lightly salted and was accompanied with lemon juice.  Yum.  Then, there's the miso butterfish.  Ohhh myyy goshhh.  Screw halibut, I'm going for butterfish now!  It had the same consistency as a halibut for a fraction of the cost!  So buttery and delicious.  Mmmm.  The last meal I ordered was the ramen dx, which I'm guessing means deluxe, though, I'm not sure.  This bowl was huge and comparable to Shinsengumi's Hakata ramen.  But, I think I enjoyed this ramen more.  They offered more toppings and bigger pork slices (with the fat attached, yum).  It's not extremely salty either which is nice.\n\nEverything else, my group ordered, but from the looks of it, they seem to have enjoyed their meals very much. =)\n\nFor a group of four people, our bill came to a little over $100.  Pretty good I must say.  I'm definitely returning.

Case: Review is based on sandwiches for lunch. I was scared to try this place since the location screams tourist stop, but the reviews convinced me to give it a go. Well, the Yelpers let me down on this one.\n\nI will admit the wings/salads looked good but I didn't try them.\n\nI got the '86 cajun chicken sandwich based on reviews and the flavor was there, but the portion size was very weak. I had about 5-6 bites with chicken in it. Give it a go if you're not very hungry.\n\nI tried the Mac n Cheese burger and it was very mediocre, like others have mentioned.\n\nThe fries are nothing special, just different types.\n\nI don't usually care too much about presentation but it actually bothered me a lot. They give you this sandwich on a little board with absolutely no room. The fries are spilling down the slanted paper holder they're on, so it's almost impossible to not have your food hit the table. I might try the wings if I went back, but I definitely won't.

Case: The flagship restaurant of the Mandalay Hotel and Casino, Aureole is architectural and design wonder.  The sleek open space is punctuated by the 3 story wine tower, home to nearly 10,000 bottles  (a fifth of their overall inventory).  This version of Aureole is far different from the small, intimate original in Manhattan's Upper East side, but in Vegas, bigger is better.  Visuals are great and all, but how is the food?  Excellent.  Chef Charlie Palmer's \""progressive American\"" focuses on dishes of high-quality ingredients simply prepared and presented.  The menu is straightforward, either choose the 3 course prix fixe or the 7 course \""Celebration of Great American Food\"" tasting menu.  Selections are mostly seasonal, although consistent on the menu are the \""Peking\"" duck and Colorado lamb, both very good.\n\nAureole is home to one of the largest and diverse wine lists one will ever see.  Over 2,000 selections and 50,000 total bottles, the list is presented electronically on a wireless tablet PC.  There is an initial \""wow, this is cool\"" upon seeing this, in practice it would be best to have a good ol' analog (paper) wine list.  Although I am usually too proud to ask for help selecting a bottle, there is simply too man options here.  The sommeliers are incredibly knowledgeable, and I suppose they had better be with an inventory such as this.  I would prefer to see a better by-the-glass list.  Unless you get the 7 course meal, with the wine pairings, your single serving options are rather limited.

Case: Came in 01/25/2013 - for birthday dinner.  Service was on point, let us be loud and silly and were very accommodating of our group.\nFood - WAY overpriced for the quality of beef.  I don't mind paying $50 for a steak, but it better melt in your mouth.  I literally had to saw through the meat and chewing was a project too.\nAgain..the service was great, it was just the food that wasn't so hot.\nThe happy hour oysters were a great deal, were fresh and if we ever come back, that is all it would be for.  Go for happy hour oysters, skip the steak.

What is the classification for the passage below?
Um... I didn't like this place. I thought the food was bland and the taco shells were so wet and mussy they sell apart when I picked them up. I got fish tacos. The beans and rice were terrible the beans looked like dog vomit. I went with a friend and she said it was amazing and pretty authentic. You really can't get what you want because the girl at the counter can't speak English. Well I didn't like this place I would rather eat at any Mexican restaurant. But if your looking for an authentic California taco place this is it!!
