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

Answer: I had a wonderful time. The place was beautiful and the service was superior. Friendly atmosphere and professional staff. The prices are reasonable, yet you still get the full Vegas life experience. The food is excellent. It's an all in one package here at the MGM. You get it all. I will definitely come back here.

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

Answer: We came here based on the previous review and are glad we did. Even for Valentine's Day (yes, we are high-brow), we were seated quickly, and even with the large number people in the restaurant, the buffet was never empty. The selections were typical of most buffets but I found everything to be tasty. I didn't have anything from the Mongolian BBQ but I thought that was a great option. I also thought the prices were reasonable. For two adults, we paid $24 for two buffets and two drinks. Wait, now that I think about it, we were overcharged a drink! Nice....My only issue with this place (besides the recent revelation that we were overcharged) was the service. We asked for a highchair, when seated, which was never brought until our drinks arrived and we had to ask again. Also, we had asked for a child's milk which arrived in the biggest cup they had. Picture a 2 year old drinking milk out of those large plastic Coke cups and the prospects are dismal. It was apparent there was a language barrier but common sense should overcome the barrier and dictate that the toddler needs a special chair and special cup. This occurred a few more times when we had to ask for napkins, a cup of water in a chilod's cup, extra silverware, etc. He didn't clear our plates as quickly as I would have liked but it was Valentine's Day and they were very busy. I didn't mind because of it. Other than the service, we were glad that we came. Our other favorite buffet is Crazy Buffet in Tempe which is alot further away. Great China Buffet is 10 minutes away and just as good!

Answer:
I stayed at the Rio with a small group of friends for one night and we wandered a bit to find this place. The menu sounded appealing and at the thought of carbs and red wine, we jumped. We were told the way would be 25-30 mins are were surprised when barely 15 mins went by and we were seated in the loudest restaurant I've ever been in. There were five of us and we sat at a large round table and could not hear each other other across the table without shouting and making hand signals. It was ridiculous, although we made the best of it and mostly just laughed at each other trying to understand what the person next to us was saying. After asking the server to repeat what he had said six times we asked how he managed to keep say in a place so loud. He said he used to wear earplugs. I asked if people complain often, and he said yes, but the chef, this Martorano guy, apparently says if people don't like it, they can just leave. Great business model. What was even stranger was the movie breaks that came on the TV. A loud, obnoxious song would be playing, and then some iconic clip from a movie would start playing and it was so, so distracting. Don't go hear if you'd like to have a conversations with your tablemates. The service was okay, but not great. Our server forgot to give us the specials menu after we asked for it and came to take our order and we reminded him of his error. He also forgot an appetizer we had ordered. Who knows if he was just forgetful, or couldn't hear us. The food was good, but over-priced, even for Vegas. It didn't blow me away and I could get cheaper, better made food on the strip. I don't need to pay $18 for a meatless entree with canned tomatoes, a leaf of basil and a few cloves of garlic. Overall, I was pretty unimpressed.
