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

Answer: Stayed there March 31st for 5 days. Got a standard room and was VERY disappointed in how small it was. It also seemed very "cheap" in it's furnishings. But there were problems on top of that. The water went out during one morning, making it impossible to shower, or even wash our hands. Additionally the TV was CONSTANTLY losing it's signal. The front desk was not helpful in either of these situations and didn't so much as offer a comp. Additionally the walls were so thin that we were woke up several times by people in the next rooms as well as the halls. I've stayed at a LOT of Vegas hotels and NONE of them has a smaller room, or such ridiculous issues. I feel like I could have stayed at a generic motel and got roughly equal "luxury" for the money. -Tiny rooms -Thin walls (noisy sleeping) -Cheap furnishings -Water went out -TV went out -Window washer came by early in the Am and banged on our window The MGM is the WORST experience I have ever had in Las Vegas.

Answer: I've been hearing a lot of people liking to go to a nearby-campus sushi place called Yama Sushi. From what i've heard a lot of my friends like going there. After over a year, i finally got to try it for myself a few days ago. Went with one who likes going there, one who came from So cal, and another friend who i usually go with and try new places, and rate/review them. First impression? Its another sushi place run by entirely koreans. At least i wasnt greeted with a Hi or in korean, and was at least in japanese... Lol Went about prime time for dinner, around 7pm on a friday night. pretty packed. lucky enough got a few seats at the sushi bar. $20/person for lunch, $24/person for dinner. average AYCE sushi prices. First impression of the bar? every piece of fish is pre-sliced to be used. 1st test? fail. 2nd test? do they cover the fish? initially yes. once begin to use? no. result? fail. since my friend likes yama sushi so much, we decided to try it anyway. Luckily... (maybe unfortunately...?) we had the current manager as our server. which is kind of weird. hope hes not the owner. starting off, we ordered friend soft shell crabs, hamachi kama (grilled yellowtail collar), and a seafood salad. 1 of the 2 ordered soft shell crabs came quite quickly. 2nd one? no where to be found for at least 10 minutes. hamachi kama? sold out (later saw one walk right past me... gave them benefit of the doubt and said that was the last one they had... unlucky me..) when the chef handed us the seafood salad, it wasnt 1 order.. it was 2... 1 normal.. 1 spicy. quite weird actually.... we only ordered 1 to share.. so i didnt know what a seafood salad was, thinking it was like a shrimp and crab salad tossed in like mayo or something.. it wasnt.. it was cubed sashimi... normal one was topped with a white sauce over a bed of shredded daikon.. nice. spicy one was that but it sat in a pool of spicy sauce... looks? not too good. taste? not bad. since the spicy covered almost any sort of taste on the fish, i tried it on the normal one. tuna was a bit dry. salmon was ok, minimal fat. yellow tail was... eh. so me and my friend who i go with testing places, ordered 2 salmon nigiri, 2 tuna nigiri, 2 yellowtail nigiri, and 2 tamago nigiri. as i said before, their preparation the fish was mediocre at best. having the fish uncovered will dry it out over time. having it pre-cut already increases the surface area of the fish which further dries it out and loses its quality and freshness. amount of rice is quite a lot per nigiri. rice doesnt seem to be made by the chefs either. i just see containers of rice brought out from the back while none of the chefs up in front have disappeared.. no good... the rice for sushi is a sushi chef's pride. so nigiri test? didnt do so well for us... we actually was kind of scared for our stomachs later due to how they keep their fish... my other 2 friends ordered rolls.. those were pretty good. decent sized. flavorful. unique. size was pretty decent. one good thing was all u can eat dessert. ice cream and mochi... honestly, other than this and maybe... the rolls, i cant give much any other positive points for this place... service was decent.. the waitresses filled my friend's soda quite fast... i never noticed him finishing his drink until the waitress asks to refill it. lol one thing that id like to mention. the so called manager (we saw his picture on the wall with the label manager under it) continuously asking us if we wanted to try something... a lot of times he makes something and like puts it in front of us.. and be like "hey try this. its really good. " We are like... uhm... we want to order our own things... he did this at least a few times.. quite annoying.... we think it was an order he may have messed up and tried to give it to us so it doesnt get wasted... kind of bad imo.. ---------------------------------------------- Overall, rating for this place, aside from the star rating by yelp that u are required to give, my friend and i rate this place a 2-3 of 10.

Answer:
One of my all time favorite restaurants. Has gone through a couple of face lifts with the most recent being the best. The bar side, where I go almost every time is much more comfortable and cooler than before. The drinks. I think they have a pretty decent cocktail and wine list. They are very well made and although expensive, pretty generous. Really like Laura the bartender. She is solid. The beers on tap are minimal and pretty safe bets with a few more to chose from by the bottle, but not a beer snob Mecca. The food. I really enjoy places that spotlight small plates allowing you to try many things. I can't remember a small plate I did not like and can remember a few I wish would come back.....uhhh soft shells... Usuall don't go for an entree but my wife and I split the filet one unadventurous night and it was delicious and very cleverly done. It is expensive but very high quality and It's a great place to come alone, as a couple or a group. One of BB's gems.
