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

Answer: Had it not been for yelp, we probably would have never tried this place and I'm so glad we found it. The food was great, they have a nice wine selection and the service was good. The meatballs were delicious and so was the carbonara. The atmosphere was not what I had expected, but overall this is a great spot in Vegas.

Answer: Today was my second trip to Merci, third if you count when it went by a different name. Every time they have been out of croissants with plenty of time before they close. They're always asking if we want to wait 25 minutes for them to cook. Why don't you just keep making croissants? I heard our server ask two other parties if they also wanted to wait! Don't stop making croissants until it's closer to closing time! We were two hours from close and our server suggested we call ahead so they can set some aside for is next time. Unbelievable. For a breakfast sandwich, the replacement starch is their delicious French bread. It's fantastic but you only get one piece and instead of it being built like a sandwich, it's a mini omelette on a piece of bread. I've also had their burger. I asked for medium and received a greasy well-done chewy burger. The fries looked like they'd soaked in oil overnight and the burger came with an herby mayo that tasted nice but was not represented on the menu. I was going to give this three stars because of the French bread, the macaroons and the friendly staff but the rest of the food just isn't that great. I was also told that my macaroon purchase wasn't the best and I wasn't too happy with that reaction. I'm hoping their dinner specials are better than the brunch but I will not be returning to find out.

Answer:
Created a Yelp account simply to warn people away from this company. Total scam just like other reviewers indicated. First off, the movers were an hour late, were lazy, slow, pretended to not understand English, took several smoke breaks, and took no care in protecting furniture (all my ikea stuff is scratched and gouged). Originally I was quoted an hourly wage of $39.99 with a 22% gas fee and a one time trip fee. I was only going 2-3 miles to my new place. Upon arrival at new apartment, the movers handed me a new invoice with all sorts of extra charges that were not stated earlier, as well as an ambiguous total amount for which they could not demonstrate the math they used to calculate it. Refused to unload the truck until the money was paid and invoice was signed. SCAM SCAM SCAM. Do not use this company even in desperation.
