An example of an negative review: This store, like all Charlotte area Bloom stores, is converting to a Food Lion and the conversion is just about done. In case you didn't know (although it's blatantly obvious), Food Lion and Bloom are the same store, owned by the Belgian-based Delhaize company. Bloom was just the "polished turd" version of Food Lion. The prices are the same, the specials are the same, and the service is the same. Bloom was supposed to be all about the customer, but it wasn't. I will give them credit for doubling coupons (Food Lion doesn't), but they had signs printed on office paper and hung all over the store. Near the self checkouts, for example, they said "No coupons accepted at self checkout." Near the gift cards they said "cash or debit only for gift cards." Now, I understand this, but there are nicer ways it could be presented. I find Food Lion and Bloom to be expensive, almost as much as Harris Teeter. They don't have a whole lot of "buy one get one free" sales, like Bi-lo does, for example. Bloom seemed to be a good concept, but people around know a Food Lion when we see one.

An example of an positive review: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! We went here this past Friday for a little fun in the sun. Such a great spot! The DJ played great music and the drinks were flowing. I couldn't ask for a better way to spend my day. In fact, it was so great that we never made it out that night! Haha! Anywho, if you make a reservation for the lounge chairs, just make sure you get there before 12. When we got there at 1, they had given ours away. It ended up not being that big of a deal as we eventually were able to get 2 chairs. Oh, and it's a $100 minimum for the 2 chairs. Easy to get to since drinks are pretty much $15.00 each. I will for sure be heading back to Bare Pool the next time I'm in town! Can't wait!!

An example of an negative review: My girlfriend and I recently ate here, but it wasn't anything I would recommend. At least, not to anyone I liked... The Expectation: Her Dad wanted to take the two of us out for dinner, and his wife had suggested 'The Old Spaghetti Factory'. I had never been to the place before, but I know a few of my family have went there on separate occasions with nothing but good things to say. So, I figured we'd try it, I'd say I was even eager to do so. The Wait: We arrived for dinner, roughly about 6pm on a weeknight. We were told by the hostess that it would be about "ten or fifteen minutes" to seat our table of four. At first, I thought that was a little weird, seing it didn't appear ridiculously busy from the lobby or by the amount of cars parked outside, and it wasn't like we were an abnormally large group. But it was cool, they had what seemed like several waiting rooms with different types of chairs and sofas to sit on, and some cool, old "stuff" to look at. ...Twenty minutes later. It seemed like there were at least three different, larger groups of people that came in after us, and were seated before us. I wasn't really sure how that worked, but, just as I was just about to approach the hostess podium to inquire about our wait, the hostess called our party's name and began to walk us to our table. The Service: Our hostess sat us at a four top table, located in one of the corners of the main dinning room. She apologized for the wait, noting that the area we' were sitting in was supposed to be closed, but they were making room in order to seat us, she also mentioned that our waitress should be by in a minute or so. It didn't take long for our waitress to come by to tell us she'd be right with us, but then it took forever for her to return and take our drink order. One of the least pleasant particulars of the evening was our waitress being super short with us at every encounter. It was like we had done something wrong by sitting in her section. By the time she returned with our drinks, I think we all knew exactly what we were ordering; which seemed to somehow catch her off guard, as if she was stressed to take our order. The Meal: I had the Chicken Marsala which came with Mizithra Cheese & Browned Butter, and my girlfriend had the Spinach & Cheese Ravioli. Both entrees included bread for the table, and the choice of soup or salad. I had a Caesar (upgraded at an additional cost.) and she had a side salad with vinaigrette. The salads were alright, iceberg lettuce, which was 'meh' and the Caesar came with tomatoes, which I scoffed at, just a little. My entree wasn't horrible, although, it did seem like a pretty measly serving for the price. It tasted just mediocre, - I could've swore the tomatoes/sauce on the Raviolis was canned, whatever it was, it was pretty bitter. I'm usually not one to complain about the waiting staff allowing you to enjoy your meal in peace, but that was not the case in this instance. The waitress rarely came by the table to check on us, at all. She came by and asked us if we enjoyed our meal, (laughable,) if there was anything more she could get for us, or if we needed to-go boxes, while taking our dishes away. She left us, again, for an eternity. Returning with our check and some small boxes. The Outcome: I tried to keep the group positive while we sat, as others around us seemed to be enjoying themselves. But without another, much improved dinning experience, I would probably go elsewhere. Honestly, I don't love/hate/mind Olive Garden, but this place wasn't even that good. I walked my girlfriend back to our car with a disappointed stomach, and a sad little to-go box, both half-full of mediocre food. - Maybe we can go somewhere good on Friday night...
