A: The epitome of a Las Vegas Dining Tourist Trap. Their menu is so unbelievably over-priced for uninspired food, presented under the guise of sophistication, that it borders on comical and is certainly cliched. We ordered several appetizers for our party of 4, which we shared as our meal. Spicy Tuna: Great dish that is a common appetizer at many, many sushi places. A small dollop of spicy tuna served atop a deep-fried block of sushi rice. Tasted fine. Nothing out of the ordinary. At most places this is a $6 - 8 dollar appetizer. Here, its $25 - and you get 5 pieces that are about 1" square. Chopped Nicoise Salad: I don't even know where to begin with this one . . . the portion served was comparable to a side-salad you'd get at a place like Denny's. The ingredients were fresh and presentation was nice, I'll give it that, but was it worth $19? Unequivocally, no. Kobe chili cheese fries: This might be the worst offender, which we ordered for the sheer comedy of it. I love how places add "kobe" to the listing and assume that this allows them to triple the price. Any restaurant who is using legitimate kobe beef, is: a) NOT going to grind it and b) NOT put it into CHILI. What you get here is a nicely arranged log cabin of french fries, a small crock of "kobe" chili, (aka steak timmings simmered in tomato sauce), and a little container of some sort of melted cheese sauce, which is most certainly more cream than cheese, as it never solidified despite sitting on our table for close to an hour. This was $21 - just under a buck a fry. The "Very adult" mac and cheese: Ugh . . . I'm pretty sure I've seen these at Costco for something like $20 a case. Its macaroni and cheese, tossed with a piece or two of proscuitto, shaped into a log and deep fried. Please . . . Four pieces for $14 Bobby Baldwin Burgers: one of their "signature" dishes. All of the same as noted with the chili above applies here too. You get 3 sliders - which are exactly the same size as any other slider - for $31 dollars. That's $10 a piece. Absurdity. Whole roasted cauliflower: aside from the fact that a) you are served a CHOPPED head of cauliflower (contrary to the description of "whole"); b) there were no raisins or hazelnuts; and c) the menu SHOULD read "brown butter bath", this was the best appetizer we had. I don't know where they shop, but at my local Whole Foods, I can get a head of cauliflower for about $13 less than the $14 price, and I'm not buying by the case. Drinks/bar: a) Hire a proper sommelier, please. The wine selection is very mediocre for Las Vegas, though the prices are far above average. b) Hire a proper mixologist, please. There are about 3 - 4 speciality cocktails, and they're rather uninspired. A pineapple mojito? Please. Service: service was fine for our table. We weren't left wanting for anything, water was promptly refilled, and they were attentive. HOWEVER. Serious warning here: A food runner brought an appetizer to our table, set it down and walked away. One which we did not order, as this happened within several moments of us sitting down. About a minute later, just as we began to reach for the mystery appetizer, another waiter ran over, snatched up the plate and apologized that it had been given to the wrong table. The waiter then turned around, placed the very same appetizer that had just been sitting on our table, onto the table behind us. Not only is this likely a health code violation, its disgusting. We were immediately turned off and wondered where else our food had been prior to arriving at our table. The proper course of action here would have been to leave the appetizer with us and prepare a new one for the table who actually ordered it. There is also clearly a ventilation problem in the kitchen. Its hot in Vegas. I know that. I live here. Our server, however, regularly came out of the kitchen, sweat dripping off his forehead and down his face. He was not the only one either. I tried (very hard) to not imagine the chef's sweat dripping into my food. Ambiance: note that the dining room is basically on the casino floor. If you like the smell of smoke wafting into your meal, the sounds of slot machines chiming away and passerby's staring at you as you eat, then this is the place for you. Grand total for 4 people: $240 with 18% tip. Again, none of us ordered an actual entree. I have no problem paying that much for a meal . . . its not the dollar amount thats the problem. Its what you get for that price. The food was very mediocre - not bad, but certainly not good either. Drinks were very substandard. Service was fine, but serious sanitary concerns. The only reason this place can charge as much as it does is because its on the strip and in the Bellagio. They're clearly catering to the tourist crowd looking for a fine-dining experience, hoping to capitalize on travelers who don't know any better. Everyone in our party left there feeling a bit cheated and blatantly robbed.

A: The food was quite good as was the service. Will definitely be back.
Problem: What would be an example of an negative (OPTIONS:

Answer: PROS: 1. The decor is cute and japanese, the waitresses are dressed in kimonos. That's probably the best/unique thing about Sakura. 2. They have a happy hour where you can get Table D'Hote for a cheaper price. CONS: 1. Food was underwhelming. Considering the price and decor I had expected more with my salmon dish. It tasted like something I could have made at home. 2. The location changed from being beside Holt Renfrew to being underneath an apartment building. Really random and slightly awkward in that the bathrooms were associated with the building and it kind of felt like I was in someone's decorated basement. OVERALL: -I wouldn't recommend this restaurant based on the disappointing food. However, if you want to see what a kimono looks like, go for it!

Output: Last Sunday, my in-laws, wife and I had another great dinner experience at McCormick & Schmick's! We were promptly seated by our hostess and our waitress soon followed. She took our drink orders and told us what the daily specials were. Our orders consisted of bourbon glazed salmon with green beans and white cheddar mashed potatoes, fried oysters with chesapeake fries & cole slaw and Idaho rainbow trout with grilled asparagus and white cheddar mashed potatoes. The meals arrived quickly and served piping hot. However, the rainbow trout did not taste fresh and our waitress immediately apologize and offered the menu to make another selection. Buttermilk fried shrimp with chesapeake fries & cole slaw was the selected replacement. It also arrived quickly and served piping hot. The manager came to our table and she apologize for the taste of the trout and offered desserts on the house. We all declined and thanked her and the waitress for their great customer service. Again, our waitress was excellent and the food was great!
Q: negative

A:
I came into the restaurant a few days ago and I was served by a girl named Katie. She had long, black hair and she seemed to hate me. Idk what I did to her but she would scream at me whenever I would try and order anything. One time she bent down to pick up a menu and I saw her ENTIRE asscrack! Talk about bad service. The only reason I would ever come back is because of the sweet blonde hostess girl. Mad props to her.
