Case: Excellent view, very good food, pricey, service very good and very nice atmosphere. \nServers look a little stressed and very busy. Don't know why so I won't speculate. \nI'm happy my 2 boys got to see a classy wedding proposal. I actually caught it all on video. I hope they learned something from the young man. Great planning on his part and they looked like very nice genuine people.

Case: The service here was fabulous, attentive and accommodating. The decor is beautiful and a table by the window is very cozy. The shrimp kisses were deligthful, mildly spicy with a good crispy breading plus a decent portion to share. The canadian Malpeque oysters on the half shell were sweet briny deliciousness. The three of us shared an iceberg wedge salad that the waiter was kind enough to have split into 3 different plates. The lobster and filet medallions entree was by far the tastiest. The sauce perfectly complemented the steak and the lobster couldnt have been sweeter. The dry rubbed ribeye steak I wouldn't order again. It wasn't a bad cut of meat, just not as good as many other less expensive steaks elsewhere. The creamed spinach was a generous portion arriving in a small cassarole dish. It was fresh and satisfying. Creme Brulee was creamy and had a delightful sugar crust. The millionaire coffee was equally delicious. All said and done the meal came to $265 including tip. I'm planning to go back for their happy hour soon.

Case: We have eaten here several times and have always had a good burger. The atmosphere is great. I can't say anything bad at all.

Case: This is by far the worst pedicure I have had in my life.  I went there because they are open until late but I will never go back.  The lady doing my nails looked extremely dirty and the salon looked dirty as well.  She barely filed my nails...basically didn't do much except for painting them with a very thick layer of nail polish.  So thick it broke into pieces within hours of having it done.  She painted my nails very very sloppy.  I could have done it better, and I am pretty bad at this.\nI did like the masque the put on your feet and hands, but that's about it.\nTerrible manicure and pedicure.

Case: I've had a big change of opinion after spending more time in that gym. The equipment would often break down and never get fixed. Considering how small the gym is, it's inexcusable that two treadmills would be out of service for at least a month. I also had problems with the individual TVs on machines; sometimes they wouldn't work properly or would be completely broken.\n\nThe gym was generally quiet enough in the mornings, but it would be pretty packed after work. It was hard to find a machine. The staff also didn't really enforce the 30 min time-limit policy, which caused people to have to wait for equipment longer than necessary.\n\nI was told on the phone I needed to let them know before the 25th of a given month to cancel my membership moving forward (and not be charged for the next month). I wasn't told that I had to give 30 days notice (aka pay for an extra month). Though they're technically right (it IS in the contract), I feel that their staff mislead me.\n\nIf you live in Shadyside (or nearby)... GO TO URBAN ACTIVE INSTEAD. It's cheaper and the facilities are unbelievably better than XShadyside... although I apparently have a membership at XShadyside for another month now, I am 100% done with that place.

Case: DO NOT EVER GO TO THIS SALON!!!!!!!!! DO NOT EVER GO TO THIS SALON!!!!!!!!! DO NOT EVER GO TO THIS SALON!!!!!!!!! DO NOT EVER GO TO THIS SALON!!!!!!!!! My normal nail girl was busy at my usual salon so I thought I would try this place and I must say it was the worst! The employees were rude, they did CRAP work and they over charge. I even made several loud comments that my nails looked like crap and the girl made no effort to correct them. I made sure that they knew I would never come back. The owner was there and never once came over to see why I was so upset, she heard me and chose to ignore it!!!! \n\nAlso they charge an arm and leg for a Pedicure and it sucks!!!! I could have soaked my feet and painted my own nails. They is all they do!\n\nI had to go to my normal girl at my usual salon and have her fix their mistakes.\n\nThey have no wait but they also do shotty work and charge twice what anyone else does. \n\nDO NOT EVER GO TO THIS SALON!!!!!!!!! NOT WORTH THE MONEY AND THE PEOPLE ARE RUDE!!!!!

Case: First thing, this location is a tight squeeze; there is a couple of pinch points where you will run into other people easily (i.e. drink machine).  The prices are what one would expect in the Ballantyne area; however they do not accept the Ballantyne Card yet, so no discount if you work in the area.  The order setup is different but manageable. \n\nAfter two visits, I have tried their Smoked Sausage (good), bbq pork (okay) and brisket (could be better).  I also typically order fries and okra, which they make to order, but have to wait while you already have your meats on the plate.  My biggest problem was the brisket (supposedly what they are known for); I had it chopped and a good quarter of it was just fat, not edible.  Overall, I really expected something good here, but I feel let down instead.  With nearby barbecue places that offer better value and better food, I don't see myself visiting Dickey's voluntarily for lunch again.

Classify the case below.
I really wanted to like Angela's. It's close to home, the prices are reasonable, and the service is friendly. Sadly they are really struggling in the food department. The plates look stunning but fall short on taste. My medium rare steak arrived well done and unseasoned. It was obvious that the cook forgot about it as it was very dark on one side and the other had almost no color. Culinary 101, season meats before cooking people. It's not that hard. Service was friendly, a little slow, but I don't like to be rushed at dinner so it was ok with me. The drinks were made well and dinner for 2 with drinks was $75. I might try it again if I knew they had a new kitchen staff.
