TASK DEFINITION: You are given a review about a place. You need to provide a rating from "1 star" to "5 stars" for this place.
PROBLEM: While this place had been around for a while, we only made it in a few months ago before they closed. Honestly, I'm not surprised they closed. The location had very low traffic and the day we stopped in, there was no one else in the restaurant.

Our waitress was nice and attentive. She also kept our water glasses full, which is great. For lunch, my husband ordered the soup of the day (something with rice and duck) while I ordered the House Burger. The burger came with a house BBQ sauce, which had a funny taste. Too much sugar maybe? It wasn't anything special.

We only ate lunch here once, kept thinking we should go back and give it another try, but now that decision has been made for us.

SOLUTION: 3 stars

PROBLEM: Best sushi I've ever had, staff very friendly
I was in on vacation from palm springs and will come back again.

SOLUTION: 5 stars

PROBLEM: This place serves two of my favorite things, the pesto lavosh turkey wrap and jalapeno cilantro hummus. I can't remember the last time I ordered anything else. I've never experienced bad service, but I tend to go at off times....much less these days now that Stinkweeds has moved, since that used to be half the allure of eating at Pita.

The food is reliable, I like their beer and wine selection so that gets three stars, and it gets one more because you can take your dog if you sit outside. The only downside is that they can't serve alcohol if you're seated out there.

SOLUTION:
4 stars
