Problem: What would be an example of an negative review?

Answer: Limited choices of breakfast. And our orders came in cold. They seemed to run out of people to clean the tables. My friend added that they always run out of coffee. I mean, it is definitely not place to start your day but a place for emergency.

Problem: What would be an example of an negative review?

Answer: *********Perhaps I overreacted. I've changed my rating from one star to two stars. This place is overrated, and not at all what it used to be, but it's better than McDonald's. The wine list used to be incredible. The appetizers were wonderful. That is all in the past. The updated wine list managed to hack off a bunch of wonderful things (some great local wines for instance). Instead I keep seeing things from Croatia which are horrible. If you see the Croatian Zinfandel just let your eyes keep wandering. The prosciutto and melon is pretty weak, as is the cheese plate. Portions are small. Everything is over-priced. ***********Update************* I've changed the review (although not the rating) after being told that Jay has owned it since day one. As I wrote him, I used to love this place. I went when it was in a tiny building further south on Mill Ave. And even a year ago I enjoyed it. I was under the assumption there was a change in ownership because of the nosedive Caffe Boa took in the last year. It's hard to imagine that an establishment could slip the way they have under the same management. As I wrote Jay, if I was rating Caffe Boa a year ago, I would have given him four stars. But they are not what they were, and they don't provide an enjoyable experience for me. *******Another update*********** I sent the owner a message saying that I was apologized for saying this was a problem with new ownership when he has been there since day one. Here is his response: Once again, I stand my my award winning wine list. It is one of the very best in the valley. We are not consistenly getting awards (including Best of for our wine list in NewTimes just last week) for "Horrible" wines as this person states. Our food, wines, and hospitality speak for themselves. Come see why we are one of the best places to dine in the valley for yourselves. It certainly is easy to be negative in these open blog type sites, but we have been around along time, not for serving anything short of great. That's why after 77 reviews to date on Yelp, the average is 4 stars. People like this are not the norm of course. My response to him is that he's right. His food, wines, and hospitality do speak for themselves. They speak volumes. My hope is that someday Jay can check his ego and listen to criticism from paying customers.

Answer:
I am a cartoonist, and when I was in town talking to the editor of the Las Vegas Review-Journal - which apparently has some sort of partnership with this restaurant, since you get a free copy of the newspaper with breakfast, and their logo is on the coffee mugs - I heard about this place but never had a chance to drop them. This time around, I finally made it and found out what I was missing. Simply put, this is worth the trip away from the strip in order to get huge servings of incredibly fresh fruit, and delicious eggs and bacon and pancakes and French toast and anything else that your carb-loving heart desires for low prices. Atmosphere is close to non-existent, but whatever - your stomach will thank you while your arteries scream in agony.
