Example: We have been here numerous times, but this review will focus on their Aloha Hour (happy hour) menu. This was previously one of our favorite places for happy hour. Sadly, things have gone downhill. Food items and cocktails from their bar menu are only $5 each, but value for your dollar varies depending on what you get. This time we got two orders of kobe sliders with sweet potato fries, calamari, filet mignon skewers with kimchi, tempura crusted spicy ahi tuna roll, and a passion fruit / mango sangria. The sliders were nice and juicy, but we didn't really care for the switch to a pretzl bread bun. The fries were solid but had too little of the truffle oil essence that they used to have. The calamari was the exception and an improvement over past iterations. There was a copious amount of meaty calamari tossed with an Asian soy and macadamia nut vinaigrette. The calamari at the bottom of the bowl got a bit soggy though. The skewers/kimchi were mediocre and very forgettable. The ahi tuna roll had very little tuna and was mostly rice. In the past, I've enjoyed Roy's various cocktails, but the sangria was a complete miss. The cocktail appeared devoid of any of the advertised passion fruit / mango puree. The description also mentioned a bunch of fruit but I only got 2 blueberries and an orange slice garnish.\n\nTo add insult to injury, service was inattentive despite the bar area being slow. Our water glasses sat completely empty for almost 10 minutes because our server was too busy chatting up the bartender. Eventually she came by to clear some our plates after which she still did not refill our water until we specifically asked her to.\n\nMediocre food + mediocre service = unlikely to return anytime soon. It's really a shame because we used to really like this place.

Example: I love that Jenni Pho is in my neighborhood area.  Pho is really good and I really think it is one of the best in Vegas. \n\nEgg rolls are crunchy and yummy. \n\nI didn't like the chicken wings too much only because it was so huge and and too breaded for my liking.\n\nThe beef stew  with Egg Noodles is perfectly warm and thick for a cold Vegas night. \n\nI also enjoy the expedition kitchen style! \n\nThe only thing that all of you must remember is that this venue is cash only!

Example: This chain used to have good food. Now everything but the chicken sucks and sucks badly. I go here to sing karaoke, I'll eat someplace else.

Example: Okay, you caught me. I f'n love this place. It's THE place I want to go when I want to somewhere - so forgive me friends if I pester you with going out, for I often have a hankering from what The Lost Leaf is selling. It's an art bar, with incredible beers to pick from and music to listen to. I can't get enough of this place. \n\nIf it tells you anything, I chose to hang out here to celebrate my birthday this past February. It's the one and only place I wanted to go, and I am so thrilled my friends either a) already loved this place or b) heard such great things about The Lost Leaf, they couldn't wait to check it out. At the end of the night, everyone in my party were Lost Leaf believers. Amen!\n\n* \n\n*\n\n*\n\n\nMY FIRST REVIEW OF THE LOST LEAF:\n\nI absolutely love this place! Hardwood floors. Exposed brick walls and columns. A high ceiling. Low lighting. Art on the walls. Fun coasters on the table. Hues of red wafting through the interior. Plenty of tables and seats, even in different \""sections\"" of the place. A cozy bar with an impressive beer menu. I love love love The Lost Leaf. \n\nAfter watching Lars and The Real Girl (an outstanding movie, btw), my comrade and I ventured to find a beer. Not just any beer. I told him The Roosevelt had a great HazelNut Brown (from Rogue). I was itchin' for that. Well, I texted Google to find the address to The Roosevelt, but nothing came back. (It's true, you can text Google for just about anything now!) Having realized The Lost Leaf was in the same area, I texted Google again. Success! So, we headed toward that area and stumbled upon The Lost Leaf. (I know it's hard to stumble upon anything when you have the direct address, but humor me.) \n\nFor a Sunday night around 8, this place was semi-busy. About 5 people at the bar and a couple tables occupied. Of course, the bartender was quick to tell us that last Sunday was a bit heavier with traffic, and if we stuck around, we'd get to hear one of the best local jazz bands. Too bad we really hadn't planned to stay out that late, for I do love jazz. \n\nThe bartender went on to tell me two things I didn't know. 1. There's a Third Friday that's supposedly better than First Friday because it's not over-run by band-wagoners. Awesome. 2. If you peddle your bike to the bar, your first beer is a buck. Yep, just one dollar. You can't beat that! (You don't actually peddle to the bar. You can park your bike outside.)\n\nI felt right at home at this place. I can't put my finger on just one thing. I think it's the entire experience, from decor and service to even the music, for whatever XM or satellite station they had on, it played Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's \""Weapon of Choice.\"" %&*#$!!! There's nothing like a favorite song by a favorite band to trigger great memories and jump-start really good conversations. \n\nBut, enough about that. Let's talk beer. I knew right away what I wanted when I saw they offered the Rogue HazelNut Brown. 22 oz. Yes! (And for $7.) My friend got the Monk Madness, also from Rogue, and enjoyed it very much. We sampled each other's and concurred: we each made the right choice. 22 oz is alot to swallow, so I took my time, enjoying how the 13 ingredient beer hit the spot. Ahhh....! \n\nI definitely will be back to The Lost Leaf. I feel like it's my kind of place. I guess if I had to pick any place in Phoenix that reflected my personality, I'd pick this one. I think it has character, a unique and clear vibe, catering to artistic expression and \""mood\"" lighting. Plus, there's also wine available for the nights I'm feeling like slipping into a happy, relaxed state of mind. Definitely, this place is where I can get lost from the everyday hum-drum and just be myself.

Example: I had bought a groupon for this place to try them out as we love Beni Hana & this seemed like a good deal. Went on a Wed about 5p with my 2 kids for my bday dinner as the kids have been wanting to go to Beni Hana so figured we'll give this a try. We were the 1st ones there for dinner. We got seated by our friendly waiter, Jim. We excused ourselves so the kids and I could go wash our hands from a day at the museum. Got back to our table and 2-3 other family start showing up. One was a family of 4 who sat at the next table from us and a couple that was in front of us. Jim was friendly, explaining how it's happy hour and I could save the groupon for a later date since I'll be paying same or less with the special which was cool as I was starting to like the place already with the happy hour. :) My son wanted pizza (he only wanted to see the cooking part) so we ordered him a side of edamame & figured he'll eat with me, I ordered a chicken teppan since I wanted the C-5 shrimp, steak & scallop but it was only on the lunch menu but not dinner (so a suggestion to consider putting it in dinner menu) and when asked if I could get it for dinner, they said I could get the T-9 in it's place which is $40 so no thanks ($20 diff. from lunch menu because it's Lobster, shrimp & scallop but they were going to give me steak, shrimp & scallop). I declined and got the chicken teppan instead and & ordered a some Las Vegas rolls to go with it and looking forward to the 'show' for the kids. My daughter ended up ordering Yakisoba with chicken and we asked for only noodle & chicken since she does not like veggies. Well, it took awhile but the edamame, soup and salad came then we noticed the next table with the family had the cook came out with the cart and started cooking for them. Hmmm...I didnt think of anything and figured ours was coming soon. My kids on the other hand noticed and my daughter asked why they got their food first since we were there first. I just said, maybe they had something simple and enjoyed my appetizer and sushi, not paying attention as figured I'll watch when ours come. We waited then waited..my kids now wondering and myself too why our food is still not out. Our waiter probably sensed it so he came over and said there was some sort of mixup and that our food was being cooked at the other  table and left. I was speechless and confused at first and my kids asked what he'd meant and I told them. My daughter got teary eyed and said but we were here first, why did they do that? I said I didnt know and I'll see what happened. I asked Jim when he returned with my daughter's meal and said it's because they dont normally cook for 1 teppan order and since we'd sat down first, they didnt want to have to ask us to move. We would of gladly moved to or switched seats to have the other family joined us if that was the case and we were told! So...now frustration sets in and my daughter keeps asking why they did that to us and seeing her food which we'd ordered only noodle and chicken, she began to cry as her meal came with everything, veggies and all. I told her I'll take care of it and dont worry. Meanwhile, Jim came back and I told him this was supposed to be only noodle and chicken which he said he'll take care of it and have them remake it for her. I asked him why they did this as it's not right as the reason we came was because my kids wanted to watch the chief cook and he doesnt understand & he'll ask the manager again. By this time, I was not a happy camper with 2 hungry kids and had lost my appetite with a big lump in my throat so I asked Jim for them to just bag our food up as we're leaving.  A few minutes later, a manager name Jim Lee came out to speak to us and apologized for what had happened and said that he'll comp our whole meal for the inconvenience and misunderstanding. I said thank you and he left. He came back shortly (guess he heard afterwards I wanted the foods packed to go) to asked if we'd still like to eat there in which I said no, we're still going to leave as we're done. Jim had my daughter's food packed up and I boxed my leftover sushi and chicken teppan that finally came much later after the cook at the other table got done and we left.  My kids and I were so disappointed so we came back into town again next day and went to Beni Hana where the kids fully enjoyed the show. \n\nThe food was not bad but the sushi (I got the Las Vegas) was delicious and best I had and happy hour prices were great. Would of been a 5 star had everything gone smoothly and we had the meal cooked for us like we'd thought. Jim, our waiter was great and I could tell he felt bad. Just wished it had gone better. I appreciate the manager coming out to talk and comping the food as had that not have happened to change my mind about this place, I would never consider returning and this review would of gone all south. My kids never want to go back there again. I MIGHT give them another try for the sushi. Just trying to be detailed.

Example: I never realized there were other restaurants behind Claim Jumper on Shea until Alex C. told me about Little Rangoon.  And what a find it is!  The restaurant opened early this year taking over an Italian restaurant with Roman pillars and the works.  The owners added artwork brought over from Asia to make it their own - the East meets West look is really quite elegant. \n\nAlfred the owner manages the front of house and his Burmese wife is in charge of the kitchen.  The couple's love and pride for what they do shows in every aspect from decor to service to food.  As a fellow small business owner I can really appreciate that.\n\nWe followed Alfred's recommendations and ordered the \""more\"" Burmese dishes (vs other dishes with greater influence from bordering countries like Thailand and India).  We're glad we did because starting with the Tea Leaf Salad, we had a chance to taste things that we've never experienced before even after living many years in Bangkok.  \n\nExcellent food and service at a great value - we'll definitely be back.

Classify the case below.
It was just ok. The waitress was really nice but forgot my fries. Not tragic, as another waiter brought me some, but they were cold and rubbery. The waitress also forgot my second order of fries, too. No fries for me. Whiskey River Chicken Burger was OK but it wasn't hot, just luke warm. It's a beautiful and lovely restaurant... on the Downtown Summerlin Mall complex but eh food and service. =/. This isn't the typical, great RR experience but they just opened. I'll try again at a later time. =)
