Case: Okay,for the reviewers that noticed the alcohol section here,it belies your immediate surroundings.\nI thought Bahsa's were supposed to be a step up from Fry's or Safeway,however this one here will henceforth be known as CrackBasha's.\nWhat a nasty scuzzy tweaky place this is...It would behoove one to peruse and partake of the alcohol just to deal with the rest of the store.\nThe lighting was akin to Bowery Bar ambiance,and yes,there was the line with only 2 cashiers and not even self checkouts.\nI'm all for quaint and ye oldee tymee and such,but this location is icchy.\nThere were people wandering the aisles that looked like they should be in an M.Night Shamalamadingdong  creepcast.\nI can see it now...\nThe Apple People...\nYou remember when you were a kid and a craft project was to carve faces out of apples then let them sit and shrivel into old creepy faces?\nWell boys and girls,that's what happens when you consume way too much meth.You turn into one of The Apple People.\nDestined to set upon wandering the CrackBasha's for that loaf of pumpernickle bread you can neither afford to buy or eat because you are a crackhead and have no toofeses in your shriveled up apple people head.\nJust say \""No\"" to CrackBasha's.\nOh and don't see the movie when it comes out...It will go nowehere just like the Apple People of the CrackBashas.

Case: I wasn't expecting much since a friend of a friend got us a comped room here last minute for the weekend.  \n\nFree parking! Check in is at 3pm and be prepared to wait in line...check out is at 11am.\n\nWe must have stayed in one of the renovated rooms because it was nice!  Very clean and modernly decorated.  The room is laid out well enough that there is a desk with 2 chairs, and another upholstered chair next to the king size bed.  The bed was pretty comfortable too. Nice size flatscreen tv, but no HBO :( The bathroom was tiny, but nicely done, with a back lit mirror, subway glass mosaic tiles, and  granite counter top. Bathtub/shower could have been nicer, but this was the standard room, so we were pleased.\n\n It is also a great location on the strip.  We will be back!

Case: When I moved to Arizona (about 9 years ago), I couldn't find a Chinese restaurant the even came close the the service and quality as there was back east. Granted, I rarely went to actual \""sit down\"" Chinese restaurants back east.  I basically just did take-out or buffets.  Then I stumbled upon Big Heng......which is around the corner from my house.  It's located in a dumpy little strip mall (which doesn't do much for the curb appeal) but once you get past that, everything else just falls into place.  What a great Chinese restaurant!!  Whether you eat in or take out, the food is fabulous and the prices are very reasonable. If you decide to eat in, the staff is extremely friendly and will bend over backwards to make you dining experience as enjoyable as possible.  I have only eaten dinner here but they do offer a lunch menu if you're on the run or at work for descent prices.  If you're nearby and are in the mood for Chinese food, DEFINITELY check out Big Heng.  You won't be disappointed.

Case: The self wash is absolutely horrible. Dirty and smelled bad. Avoid.

Case: Just plain and simple. Poppyseeds is still on top. They are very consistant in quality and taste. Their bagels just right, but, I am still in love with the muffins!

Case: Like they say, you can put lipstick on a pig...but its still a pig. The food and the service are NOT what I expect from this beautifully decorated restaurant. I would have been better off at Caraba's. \n\nI've been to Brio about 3 times now. The 3rd (and likely last) time was a recent Sunday for brunch. There were 7 adults and 4 children. Our server seemed disorganized from the time she took our order to the time we had to hunt her down thru a passing server to ASK for the check.  \n\nOur entrees came out in batches. Some at my table were eating 3-4 minutes before my food arrived. I expected all the food to come out at the same time...even if that meant our server had assistance. To top it off, my food was cold. My salad that I ordered for appetizer was over dressed and the lettuce wilted. \n\nWhen a woman in my party asked for water, the server only brought ONE water. She didn't ask anyone else at the table if they'd like water also. When the server brought the single water, she made it a point to say \""we don't automatically serve water\"". I know we have a water shortage in AZ, but damn! At least ask! \n\nOnly the kids and the 2 adults who ordered French Toast seemed pleased w/ their food. 2 of the kids probably don't count, as they are 1.5 years old! These growing boys were just happy to be eating! \n\nFantastic food can make bad service bearable. Outstanding service & presentation can make \""OK\"" food great. But mediocre service AND food call for a 3 strikes and you're out in my eyes.

Classify the case below.
You don't have to stay at the hotel to want to dine at this place. We live a mile or so from here and came across it by accident and I am glad we did. They have great food and the service is usually good. They have HUGE pizzas that are excellent and I love their portobello sandwich. Appetizer portions are HUGE and they do have a decent Happy Hour. They have any sporting event on you can possibly want and are very accommodating to change the channel to something you want to watch. The only reason I do not give it 5 stars is because the service can be a little inconsistent but all in all, pretty darn good.
