    Review #1
    I was at this restaurant in Chicago on March 12th, all I have to say is WOW! Such fantastic food, there is a 99% chance I'll be back again!

    Review #2
    I ate here on May 17th, and it was rough. The food came out cold, the waiter was a bit of a jerk, and I just didn't like it. I won't be coming back here again.


    Make some guesses about what the sentiment score might be, along with what key phrases or entities might come back.
