A: Me and the wife stayed a night, the room was nice and appeared to be clean, however my wife woke up with Three BED BUG BITES on her leg!
Q: negative

A: Costs more than Papa John's and is kind of a hassle to have to bake it when you get home. The bake it yourself thing is supposed to be a tradeoff for keeping the prices down so it kind of defeats the purpose when you can get a baked pizza cheaper somewhere else. Plus, you can only bake one pizza at a time (and trust me, if you ignore these instructions, you will regret it), which is really inconvenient. The service is very slow and the kids working there aren't people you want sticking their bare hands all over your food. Yep, that's right. Even though there are diced vegetables, cheeses, dough, and meats to handle, there is not a single plastic glove to be found. Ick. Today, my pizza was made by a girl with tattoos all over her hands and arms (including a lovely one of a topless woman on her forearm) and facial piercings. Now, I have nothing against personal expression through tattoos or piercings or whatever, but this girl just looked DIRTY. Watching her mash her hands all over the the dough of the pizza I was going to eat made me want to run out of there, but unfortunately I'd just forked over about $35 for two small pizzas and salads. To top it all off, I was in the place for almost 20 minutes due to the very slow and inept service. I used to go here frequently when it first opened and found it to be a great deal wth great service. I hadn't been in for a year or so, and I really wish I'd stayed away.
Problem: What would be an example of an negative (OPTIONS:

Answer: The most comedy value thing about The Merlin is the fact that they have a section on their menu that is 750 calories or less. Come on folks, have 1/3 of your daily calorie intake in one meal! It gives me the fear to think about the calories involved in the rest of the menu. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a calorie counter but unfortunately the 750 or less section turned me into one. Funnily, from this section I ordered a Mexican style "salad" with beef chili, cheese and sour cream, served in a deep-fried shell. It contained about 6 leaves constituting the "salad" portion of the meal. It was tasty, but surely they could have tried a little bit harder to make the the "low calorie" dish they were advertising? On the plus side, it was a lot of tasty ingredients, just served in a smaller portion. Getting past this, The Merlin clientele were not exactly what you would expect of Morningside (I know, how snobby am I) and contained your standard alcoholics who look at you funny when they don't know who you are. Certain members of the staff were nice, but we found the it very bizarre that we were asked if we wanted more drinks when we all had at least 2/3 of our drinks left, but were pretty much ignored when we were sitting there with empty glasses. As a result, we decided to take our afternoon drinking to a different location. All in all, if I had a choice, I wouldn't return to the Merlin. There are plenty of other places to have a decent bite and a decent pint in the Bruntsfield/Morningside area, and I'll advocate visiting them in the future.

Output: Love this place, been going for years and have never had a bad experience. There have been a few, less than the usual best, but never bad. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Wings, cheesy garlic bread, pizza (stuffed or thin), salads, sandwiches. Everything is consistently great and the staff is friendly and accommodating. There's generally a wait during the weekends, but you can usually find a drink at the bar while you wait. I do miss the original Scottsdale location...

output: so DISAPPOINTED!!! I was visiting Phoenix from Seattle. I was excited to try Joe's Diner and support a local business. Unfortunately, our waitress got my order incorrect, so I re-ordered. The waitress suggested a subsitution with my original order, which sounded better so I accepted her suggestion. She then brought me the wrong food, AGAIN!! I didn't want to cause a scence, plus I was hungry and my friend had already finished eating. I tried to eat the item she brought out but I couldn't because it has an ingredient she said it wouldn't come with. Needless to say, I asked for my orignal item. Finally, my "breakfast burrito" arrived... I was happy and about to start eating when gentleman approached our table. He said to me, "The next time you come to our resturant , can you please read the menu". I WAS SHOCKED!!! I couldn't believe one of the employees was saying this to me. I tired to explain there was a miscommunication between myself and the waitress. I was trying to be diplomatic about the situation and did not want to say she got my order wrong TWICE. This person continued to say (all smug and righteous) "please read the menu the next time you come in because I've never had a customer return two meals before". At that point, I asked the gentleman if he was the manager/owner and he said he was. I then told him, I've never experienced something like this before. I then told him I was shocked that we were having this conversation. I told him, his approach was making me feel like I did something wrong. He wasn't listening. He continued to smile and smuggly say "all I ask is that you read the menu" ... he then said "this waitress has worked for me for 16 years and she has never made a mistake". At that point the table next to us said, "She got our order wrong too!"... I really hope that Joe's Diner reads this and that gentleman thinks about how he approached the situation. I totally understand if an employer wants to stick up for thier employees (I applaude that) but when the "manager/owner" attacks the customer without understanding the situation, well, I had to post this review. I hope the Melrose area gets more restaurants in the area... I would love to support them. ... I'm so sad that this experience has left a nasty taste in my mouth for Joe's Diner. One last note... not only did I receive the incorrect meal 3 times, I paid the bill for the food my friend ate and the final breakfast burrito. The waitress seemed scared of this gentleman. I don't know what was going on with her that morning, that caused the mistakes. I left her a $2 tip. I'm not a jerk.. I worked in restaurant business for many years. As those of us who have worked in that industry know when you are dealing with a "bad" customer AND we know when we are being "bad' customers... no way was I being difficult. As I'm typing this review up, I'm still shocked with my experience at this diner :(

A:
I went to this salon based on reviews from Yelp. It was quite disappointing. I made my appointment and let them know i wanted my hair in layers and BLOW DRIED! I specifically made sure that they knew that i wanted it blow dried. When I walked in, I was greeted and helped in a timely manner. It was my first time there so I accepted any stylist that was available. Jeremy was available and styled my hair. He cut and layered my hair nicely. He was a little slow but I didn't have complaints about the cut. So when it came to drying me hair he started to grab the flat iron. I told him nicely I don't like my hair flat iron bc I hate my hair being flat. He told me he doesn't blow dry bc of his wrist. Possible carpal tunnel. It's understandable but I wish they would have made that clear when I made my appointment or when I got there. There were other stylist available when I waited for him. So i wish somebody who was able to blow dry would have done my hair. I had no other option but to have my hair flat ironed. Obviously, I wasn't happy w the end result as it was flat as a board. I had to use their curling iron and fix it myself in the salon. But once it's flat ironed there is no going back. So be specific and make sure u let them know when you get there what and how you want your hair done. Good luck!
