If I had to sum up my meal in two words: odd brunch. I started the meal with a kugel & strawberries based on another yelper's review - ate almost the whole thing! Would def order it again or serve it for guests at a brunch. Yum. The matzo soup tasted OK, felt like it was surrounded by canned chix noodle (ala Cambell's) though. Entre was holishkes (bland cabbage rolls with chunky marinara sauce), the sides seemed like random afterthoughts and portion size was enormous. My daughter ordered the kid's mac & cheese with a side of applesauce (which is always served in a ridiculously tiny cup). The wait staff were friendly and accommodating. It can be overwhelming and claustrophobic on a busy night but Sunday night was as chill as it gets. Next time I'm sticking with my fave dish there: open-faced tuna melt. Can't go wrong there.\n\nThe menus just kill me... I have learned over the years how to navigate them quickly but seriously Restaurant Impossible needs to come in and revamp here! A simplified menu featuring well made dishes to compliment some home made ice cream would have an immediate positive impact. That and some cleaned up, contemporary, functioning decor would really breathe some life into this place! We'll never stop coming here but will enjoy it MUCH more with some improvements. I'm rooting for ya Ella's!

We went to lunch at true food for the first time this afternoon. It just wasn't worth the hype. The food was good but not outstanding. I got the mediterranean salad and it was ok. I could have made it at home and been just as happy. The asparagus pizza was good but same thing I could have bought a ball of dough and made it at home just as easy. Service was good tho!

Tana is awesome. i live in new york now and i am amazed to come back to pittsburgh and find ethiopian food! i have tried both the ethiopian places in east liberty now, and i must say... i think i favor tana slightly. my boyfriend and i always get vegetarian combos. this one had generous portions of all our favorite dishes, very nice flavor, and excellent, delicious injera. we will definitely return on our next trip to PA.

This was a good place with lots of room inside and very clean. The staff was friendly that southern friendly that annoys people from\nThe north.\nThe food was very good. Better than\nDenny's and I would recommend it as good place to get out of the sun.

This pizza was good. Real good. If anything, I'd like to float this at around 4.5 stars. I didn't get to explore much of the menu, but the pizza was solid all around. Good flavor, good sauce/crust/cheese ratio.\n\nJoins Via/Transfer in MKE as some of the better pizza places in Wisconsin.

This little gem is the very best toy store in Las Vegas.\nWith toys to occupy every little one on your list, mostly without batteries! Great place to bring children to allow them to play in the treasure pit while you browse. \nWish there were more stores like this one closer to downtown Las Vegas,\nWith much more interesting selctions than toys r us.\nAnd you are supporting a locally owned and operated shop! \nNow lets all go and play!

I did all the way from New York to this place I heard about this place a lot.excellent atmosphere, good music and good price and excellent food.\n\nHighly recommend this place

This is the second time I've eaten here. I was here previously with a girlfriend from Chicago and we had a wonderful meal. This time I brought my husband and two out of town friends and we all agree this restaurant has it all-- great ambiance, great food and wonderful service. We skipped appetizers, since they bring out an eggplant and olive dish with focaccio. Our dinners were great-- the halibut, pork chop milanese and chicken parm was lick the plate good... A little bonus sambucco at the end topped off the evening. :) \nThey do pizza here too, my husband can't wait to try the carry out!

I hate to have to do this, since I appreciated the chance to check this place out courtesy of the Yelp Ladies Appreciation Day. \n\nThe studio itself is nice and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I received a tour and the bathrooms and studio were clean. \n\nNow, anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE to workout. I LOVE to sweat. I workout for over an hour 4 times a week and longer on weekends. I can run 12 miles no problem and do so most Sundays. However, I'm not the strongest or most toned person in town, so I do like to try different classes to mix it up and work my muscles. \n\nHence my excitement when I saw the description for the GI Jane class here. I love words like \""intense workout\"", \""burn mega-calories\"", and \""hard core workout\"". It gets me all excited inside. And I was excited, until about 10 minutes into the class when I hadn't even started sweating yet - yet alone burning the \""mega-calories\"". The energy wasn't high and the pace of the class was slow. When it ended, I felt like I needed to go to the gym and get a real workout in. Talk about false advertising.....\n\nI can see where those who like dance-y classes would love this place, as most of the classes seem to incorporate some form of dance. That's where Express MiE should keep there focus - since other reviewers seem to be pleased. \n\nFollowing the class, Sarah G. (just realized that was you!?!) inquired about the instructor's qualifications. Turns out she has no fitness certifications, just a \""dance background\"". Exactly my point....stick to what you know. \n\nI realize this place is just not a good fit for me and my fitness routine, but if you're looking for a more low key workout incorporating dance then this is most likely for you!

This place wasn't as hard to find as I had imagined. Many of the employees at Cosmo were very helpful in pointing out the directions along the way. The inside reminded me a lot of NYC's pizzerias and they even had those ancient arcade games you hardly ever see anymore.\n\nThough the line wasn't too bad (I came here for lunch), the price for a slice of pizza was a pretty penny. I think ~$5-6 for a slice is a bit pricey, but ordering the whole pizza isn't that much cheaper either, considering the # of toppings.\n\nThe texture of my pizza was crispy and thin, I loved it. I ordered the combo slice with all the toppings. Overall, it was delicious, and a great place to stop by with friends.

Yuck. Over priced and gross. Quick delivery doesn't save you from the nastiness that is their pizza.

I have been a customer of this establishme however over a decade and have always thought it was some of the best food in town. Over the past year approxamitly I've seen a steady decline in there customer service and it pains me to say I am close to never going here again. There food as i mentioned is never the problem, they have a great menu and everyhing on it is excellent.\n\n Over the past year I've noticed it has slowly become harder and harder to place my orders over the phone due to long hold periods (5-10minutes). I tried staying mindful of how busy this place can be, assuming they'd get to me ASAP. This doesn't happen every time but enough to say it happens all to often. Up until recently I ordered take out 3 times a week. Over the past month 3 times in a row on seperate occasions I have call down there and was immediately placed on hold, which I don't mind as long as im promptly attended to as soon as possible but these were extremely long holds where I'd give up after 10 to 15 minutes. Naturally someone on hold can be forgotten by mistake from time to time, it happens. I've done it by accident myself, I wouldnt hold it against them if this happened every now and then on occasion. However lately it hasn't been out of the ordinary to be on hold for 5-10 minutes before being attended to, sometimes holding for quite some time then being hung up on. Last night I was placed on hold and waited 12 minutes trying to be patient and assuming they were busy. I hung up and thought I'd just called back 30 minutes later. This time the phone rang over and over and I couldn't get an answer. Me and my wife were set on having there food so we decided to wait another 15 minutes and call back. Once again we were instantly put on hold, I tried to get a word in to let them know I'd been waiting for 45min to put in an order, hoping they would at least assure me I would be attended to in a reasonable amount of time, but he didn't wait for me to say I was willing to hold he mechanically asked then immediately put me on hold. Once again I waited on hold for 8 minutes before I gave up. It is very disappointing, before this place became very popular the customer service was excellent and now it seems some of there workers have an attitude as if you are lucky to be eat there. I do however want to make it clear this review is a testament to the service I've received NOT the quality of the food. Pita Jungle over the past decade I've ate their food has progressively gotten better from what started already started as some of the best food in town. That in which has been what keeps me going back, but I will not continue to if I keep having such a hard time placing an order. When you place an order your hungry, having to hold and debate hanging up and calling back is too much of an irritation to deAl with when I'm ready to eat. Perhaps an online ordering system might be a good option for them if the incoming calls hard too hard to manage.

We came for dinner just before 6 on a Thursday. I had noticed they had happy hour until 6, but the hostess informed us this was only at the bar. We could have saved a few $$ if we had just done that, but honestly the food was so good I didn't feel bad paying more. \n\nBread was brought to our table and served with a pesto dipping sauce - I ate the remainder of the sauce with my hands it was so good.\n\nWe ordered the Mediterranean salad and piccante flatbread. I also ordered a red sangria - which was different from normal sangria since it had crushed berries it it - but it was one of the best sangrias I've ever had. The salad and flatbread were delicious. The salad was big and worth the price - flatbread was good but maybe a better deal on the happy hour menu since it was smaller than expected. \n\nThe food was the perfect portion so we still had room for dessert. We decided on the coconut cakes with blood orange sorbet. This is probably gross but I honestly did not want to swallow my cake - I kept it in my mouth like a fine red wine and savored every last piece. \n\nThis restaurant needs to come to Chicago - I would be all over it like white on rice.

Pretty friendly staff at this Subway and the food is served in convenient dine-in baskets. Definitely more appealing than the other stores around this area.

We didn't stay, but the hubby played blackjack and we wandered. I loved the atmosphere! I never like watching the hubby play (and I don't gamble) so usually being stuck at a table is like watching paint dry, but not at the Hard Rock. It is perfect for people watching! Stripper poles, huge TVs in the sports betting area, memorabilia, and generally crazy Vegas people. We were there for the Crue show so they had a rocker on stilts, a scantily clad chicky on stilts and a demented clown walking around entertaining. \n\nThe place is small (compared to some of the behemoths on the strip), but that is nice. It is easy to find the restaurants, easy to get to the joint and makes it a nice walk to check out all the music memorabilia. I loved it, I would even consider staying here, it had a great vibe! \n\nTip: Go out the side door to catch a cab after a show or if the front taxi line is a mile long, the cabbies drop off there and will just pick you up and you will be on your way!

had pizza here several months ago. Vaguely remember that it was just ok. Last week however I tried it again. I got the philly cheesesteak deluxe, buffalo wings, garlic bread, and moz sticks.\n\nThe sandwich was really good. \nThe wings were excellent. (spicy sauce mixed with BBQ sauce)\nbread was ok\nmoz sticks were good.\n\nwill go again when in Florence

I don't know if its the time I'm going but the attitudes are unbelievable. I cannot express how rude Tasha was to me. Which is fine because frankly i didn't need it anyways. Needless to say i will not go back .

Upon entering the place has a cozy home feel to it. May be a little too cozy for some as the tables are fairly close to each other. The menu isn't very extensive, lots of pasta, some calamari, chicken and veal. \n\nMy boyfriend and I were seated and had napkins laid on our laps. We were left there , forgotten for about 15 min, while other tables around us were being attended to. The whole meal went that way, it was not a very pleasant experience and we will not be returning. Other patrons were offered choices with their entrees, we were not, others were offered sambuca after the meal, we were not. \n\n\nI don't want to say that our experience was racial, but it felt that way as I was the only non-white customer in the establishment that night.

My boyfriend and I (we're both Korean) were craving Korean food and came to Ginseng 3 upstairs of Imperial Palace (now the 'Quad Resort'). It was a huge mistake. Surprisingly, I have no complaint about the food. What made us pretty offended was not telling us about the 18% tip they automatically put on the checks when they obviously SAW us putting tip on the table before we left. First of all, when they brought us the check I handed them the credit card right away and when they came back, they just gave me the the credit card transaction receipt so I didn't realize the tip was added on there. The next day, we went there again for the Korean food and the same watresses were there remembering us from the day before. When I recieved the check, then, I had finally realized the 18% of tip was automatically added on. When I found out, I told our waitress (a Korean lady probably around her 40s) about leaving extra tip from the day before. She didn't even feel bad in any way and told us that we should've looked at the receipt before paying. It was a very bad experience at a Korean place we actually thought was pretty nice. Not going again from this experience.

Don't try to quit. They will keep charging you.

Just another below average buffet at a casino.\n\nItem 1: Rewards person went up and down the isles asking the white people in line if they needed a rewards card while ignoring the colored people (meaning blacks and browns. I'm hispanic and my friends are black) It was extremely disgusting watching this going on in America now a days.\n\nItem 2: People in this buffet line were too comfortable and disregarded personal space.\n\nItem 3: Sat us in the back next to the staff entrance and bathroom exit as if there weren't any other tables available. (There were, I checked).\n\nItem 4: The waiter simply took our drink order, fulfilled it and never came back to check on us. We were the ones that had to call him over or one of the other waiters several times in order to get refills or napkins. (Mind you we only had a party of 4)\n\nItem 5: We noticed that when his friends, family or relatives came in he was at their every beck and call. Not trying to be mean but I don't think employees are supposed to wait on acquaintances. \n\nThis concludes today's review. I won't be coming back to this establishment. Oh, and I hope they switch out that bacteria infested rag they use to clean the seats and tables.

Great store for finding specialty items. They also have the cheapest prices I've seen for the energy bars I like. The only thing I wish they had more of is non-foods. Not a huge selection of soaps, shampoos, etc. Still have to go elsewhere for those. As with most specialty stores they are on the pricey side (other than the energy bars!), so I certainly can't do all my regular shopping there.

Service... Anyone??\n\nThis is the second time I've had the same waitress located in one of the middle rooms (skinny middle-aged woman). The host sat us down and told us to wait for the server to get our drinks. So, like well-behaved students we sat...and waited...and waited some more for our waitress to come over. I was literally watching her as she went from empty table to empty table to set up the plates and utensils when literally there were other customers in the room who needed tending to. There weren't even new customers going to those tables that were being set up. We waited about 15 minutes before she randomly came over with juice and iced tea to our table which we did not even order. It took about another 20 minutes before we were even served water and coffee, but no coffee cups. Once the room started to become filled, she took everyone else's order first, before coming to our table to finally ask what we wanted to drink even though we were there before about 90% of the other tables. It was just SOOO ridiculous.\n\nThe previous time we came about 6 months prior, we had the same lady. She gave us attitude when we wanted 1 champagne and 1 juice for each person. I don't understand why it was such a big issue when in the end she just gave us a jug of each. So simple, yet she had to make such a big deal out of it. Then, throughout the entire meal, she was giving us the stink eye.\n\nFood-wise: I would say it's just average. There's not a huge selection like Spice Market or Bacchanal. There was nothing that really stood out to me.\n\nTip: If you do decide to come here, try to get a table that's not in the middle room, preferable a table in the main area. Service has always been better there. If you get seated in the middle room beg to be moved elsewhere. You've been warned!

Good atmosphere and great staff. I had a traditional gyro platter. Very pricey for what you actually get. The food was ok, but nothing compared to the Mad Greek in Baker, CA.

What a great experience!!!! My stylist, Kelcie , did a great job. She listened to my concerns regarding what I wanted and went beyond my expectations. Definitely worry the visit!!!

Krayvings is at the forefront of the future of restaurant businesses. The restaurant has a \""Local\"" vibe to it and also incorporates a futuristic efficient feel to it. Each table is equipped with an iPad that assists in placing orders and browsing the menu options.\n\nIt's a fun little gadget to use the iPad; it's not a game changer but a fun little add on. You sit down, look through the digital or paper menu, place your order, and submit payment when one of the employees visits your table. I liked the freshness to their availabilities. By looking at the ingredients you can tell they focus on \""fresh\"" and \""raw\"". It's a healthy menu option without the sacrifice of taste. \n\nWith las vegas being a smaller city geography, one would think that it is not worth it to drive to the outskirts for this place. In my opinion, it's worth it. The food was good and so were their \""raw\"" drinks that feature pure blends of juices, fruits, and veggies.

This is a fantastic Chinese restaurant and it would get 5 stars but for the ambience and service which are bare-bones, intentionally I should note, but still not worthy of 5 stars. But for everything else, the place shines. There are literally hundreds of dishes on the menu but good luck if you don't read Chinese! The menu is handwritten and posted on the wall as you enter the place. There is an English menu but I don't think it does the place justice. I knew it would be good on the recommendation of my mother who is a very picky Chinese lady and by the crowds of Chinese people lining up to order and eat.\n\nWe went for lunch with a group of 6. We ordered beef soup noodle, beef tendon soup noodles, seafood fried noodles. Steamed buns that you fill with braised pork belly, pickled cabbage, peanuts and cilantro - WOW. Tempura fried soft shell crab. Smoked chicken. Stir-fried \""sih gua\"" melon. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. $16 per person for this feast.\n\nMy advice: bring your favorite Chinese reading/speaking friend and check this place out.

Had the feta gyro pita here with pasta salad. Holy crap the portions were huge. The gyro itself was tender and juicy, and the feta was copious (a little over the top), and the pita....so so good. The pita is really where this place shines. Oh yeah, its not pasta salad if you just give me a thing of penne pasta thats cold. But, good value its like ordering a gyro with a pasta dish. My co-workers really liked their chicken salad, and from the looks of it, they don't go lighthanded with chicken, so great value there.\n\nIt's a little weird that the same dish costs $2 less when you take-out versus dine-in....same portion size....\n\nBut still Crazy Jim's is decent to good food, good portions, and pretty good price. Good place for lunch.

This place is just what the Phoenix venue doctor ordered. \n\nIn the past few years, so many of Phoenix's venues have either gone out of business or decided not to have music in their establishments anymore (I'm looking at you, Modified Arts). There are still many great venues in the area, but none that can hold the amount of people or attract big name acts like The Crescent Ballroom can. Up until this place opened people in the neighborhood were forced to either catch a show in Tempe, or worse yet drive ALL THE WAY down to Tucson to catch bands who couldn't (or didn't want to) book a show in the Valley. Not anymore though. Crescent Ballroom has saved the day!\n\nThis is a great space. It's nestled inside the old F.L. Hart garage, a historic Phoenix building built in the early 1900's. When you walk up you're greeted by people enjoying their beers, smokes, and food in the outdoor seating area. Next you walk up and get your ID and Tickets (if you're catching a concert) checked by the friendly girl at the door. Once you walk in you're in the lounge, which is always free to just sit in and hang out. You can find yourself a table if you want, or just walk up to the bar and get your drink from one of the friendly bartenders.\nThey have a pretty limited number of things you can order from their kitchen, but no matter what you order it will be delicious. I've had the nachos (yum), a burger (yummier) and the salad (yummiest). All menu items are reasonably priced and are usually a big enough portion to share with a friend. \n\nNow the music venue. It's amazing. It can hold I believe up to 500 something people. It's big enough to cram all those people into the space but also small enough to where you still feel close to the action. I've been lucky enough to catch a few shows here and the sound quality in there is amazing. Shows are pretty reasonably priced, but if you see an act you just can't miss I would recommend buying your tickets in advance and early! \n\nThe noise level in the lounge and outdoor seating area can get pretty high. If it's a busy night, don't count on being able to have a quiet, intimate conversation with your lady friend. You'll be yelling \""WHAT?!?!?\"" at each other all night. \n\nEvery time I've been to this place I've had a great time. I love Crescent Ballroom. Period.

I remember this place being a lot better a couple years ago, but I didn't feel that it was great this time. The Kobe beef was waay too hard to cut, the rotisserie chicken was kinda dry, the tender pork loin was just ham, and the crab legs (all the Asian people go for the crag legs first) were frozen. Yes, all I ate was meat, but why go for the cheap dishes, when you can stuff yourself with the higher level dishes. Maybe I was just there at a bad time. I did however enjoy the selection of awesome desserts, which made up for the okay meal.

In Vegas...this is a good as it gets for great food at AMAZING PRICES. Let me stick with the value comment here....Literally, nothing costs more than $10. If you're tired of the usual hotel eateries and yes there are hundreds of absolutely amazing places in LV, try Forte. I found this place, er should I say my husband found it watching diners drive in's and dives (a show I can't watch but he LOVES) - Paul and I have been to a few of the show's recommendations in L.A. and they weren't bad so I was not adverse to the suggestion of having lunch away from the usual confines of the strip hotels, plus I was excited to bring my girlfriend Zana, who recently moved to town, to a place that served some menu items from her homeland of Serbia. \n\nWe arrive at the restaurant in a fairly large but unassuming strip mall, and walk into the just the cutest place ever. Art on the walls, deep rich colors and a huge beautiful bar and a small cozy dining room. For lunchtime on a holiday week it was crowded enough so that my party of 6 had to wait a few minutes for a table large enough to seat us opened up. The owner was so sweet and nice offering my pre-teen nieces flavored sodas from Spain while we waited and sipped our wine.\n\nSerbian Hamburger....don't knock the name. It was the best thing I had there among amazing stuffed grape leaves, grilled meats, rich chickpea soup and the lamb and beef confit over rice was almost like a jumbalaya. Other good picks are the pan con tomate and this dish that comes in a super hot individual pot that has beef/sausage, tomatos, onions, spices, an amazing broth, cheese and an egg for good measure. It's apparently an very old dish dating back to ancient Greece.\n\nI am soooo going back for dinner next time and will take a taxi and leave the kids so we can take our time and enjoy the wine.

What a boring club. Went there last Thursday and had a table. Around 1:30 am we were told that we had to leave our table cause that section is closing and we were like \""wtf?\"" Also the DJ sucked big time! He repeats songs and 15 min. he'a gonna play hip hop then 15 min. after he's gonna play house music, that's the whole night thru! What a horrible experience! Never going back to this club anymore!

The graffiti etched elevators should be your first clue this place is low rent scuzzy.\n\nThe whole place felt slimy and like any ordinary shopping mall in decline - definitely not worth visiting in a place like Vegas with so many better options.\n\nI agree with other reviewer, the place smelled like bathroom throughout.

I've been going to Pete's with my family on AZ roadtrips for as long as I can remember, so I know these well:\n\nThe rules:\n\nNo debit or credit cards\nNo checks\nNo 50s or 100s\nNo separate orders\nNo ketchup--don't even ask.\nNo Sundays\nNo feeding the pigeons\nClean up after yourself, your mother does not work here.\n\nSo bossy, so cheap, so mouth-wateringly delicious. Forget about your precious ketchup, Pete's Special Sauce knocks my socks off. Careful with parking, it can be cutthroat--especially on Fridays.

We were looking for somewhere to eat quite late in the evening during a week night. We ended up at the Aria and decided to the try to buffet. The service was very good, the price was unremarkable and the food was EXCELLENT. The array was outstanding, we loved how many ethnic varieties there were, and the desserts were MMMMMM! We enjoyed the personal attention we got from the service staff especially as my mom was feeling very sick and weak. They allowed my parents to sit with us and have free drinks even though they didn't pay for the buffet, and turned a blind eye when we forced my mom to eat a little shrimp and dessert. Overall, it was a very pleasant dining experience and the best buffet we've had in Vegas to date.

This place is oddly frou frou for being right across from a college campus. I've been here twice, once for dinner with my parents and once for drinks and dinner with my BF. Since I'm a big bar food lover, the menu here is too uppity for my tastes. They don't have french fries, but these weird potato balls that are seasoned. I ended up getting the margherita pizza both times, which is big enough to share (it had better be for ~$11). The atmosphere is okay, and sitting outside on a nice day is decent. I'm not a beer drinker but my BF wasn't too impressed with their beer offerings.\n\nOverall, a good place to visit during happy hour or later for 1/2 price pizza, but other than that it's too fancy (and expensive) for my tastes as far as food goes.

It was a pretty good massage but a bad experience. I called prior to coming to make an appointment, when I called I clearly requested a massage for 1 hour. After my massage was over, my therapist told me she was scheduled for an hour and a half and she gave me an hour and a half massage. Since I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, I just paid the additional money, but it was a 40 dollar mistake that they made that I ended up paying for. I probably won't be back based on this and whoever answers their phones should make sure that they're completely clear on what the customer is asking for and that they understand.

Our first visit and we were very impressed. Service was excellent, margaritas were delish, and the food yummy! We love hotter salsa and they didn't disappoint! You usually have to ask for stuff this hot at other places. It's quite a drive for us but if we're in the area, we will stop by again.

What do you get when you pair people passionate about beer with a cool space in NoDa? Birdsong Brewing! \n\nI dropped by for their unveiling and enjoyed a tour of the brewery and a delightful, breezy pale ale. It was fresh and light, perfect for a mild fall evening. Friends who were able to snag an IPA were more than happy with it too! The tap/tasting room, while fairly narrow, is a great space to chill with a few buds and sample an ale or two. Be aware that only sustenance I spied that particular evening was in the form of pretzels in small cups around the tap room. So, if your stomach's a growlin', eat first! \n\nThe folks who make and market the beer at Birdsong are extraordinarily friendly and very excited about their product. I can't wait to try their jalapeno pale ale!

I'm usually pretty happy. Except for the cashier who is all in your grocery business. Today I did a late night shopping and was disappointed I had to check myself and bag all my groceries. The machine likes to give you a major hard time. Looking up vegetables was a pain! Call button is ignored!

Since the only other review on here was about service from 8 years ago, I thought that I would add my two cents.\nThis company is fantastic. I just moved to Phoenix from South Carolina and my wife is scared to death about scorpions. This company has been a pleasure to deal with and so far no scorpions.

Ok I know my review is a bit late but oh well :) . I came in here when I visited Arizona when the LA Dodgers played the Diamondbacks back in April of this year. This place was cool! I had the big unit and it was soo delicious! I would definitely recommned this place.

I was pleasantly surprised with this cafe. The shaved icy treat was delish and the fruit smoothie was alright. Nice break from the hot sun in AZ.

Wasted time and money, and damaged my hair because of extremely bad advice from one of the staff. Had to chop it. Afterward, I went back to return the products I didn't use and explained what happened to the cashier and received very unfriendly customer service.

We stayed here for 4 nights b/c my husband had a class located in one of their conference rooms. I really had my heart on staying at the Encore, however, it would have made for a pretty long walk at 8AM every morning, and I figured he could enjoy his time a little bit more given he could literally roll out of bed and go downstairs to his class (I know, I'm a great wife ; ). Also, it would have been about a grand to stay at the Encore and the Flamingo was paid by the govt...so this put us over the edge to just suck it up and stay at the Flamingo.\n\nWe stayed on a upper floor in a go room, which wasn't too bad! I will give the room 3 stars for view (overlooking pool), cleanliness, and it seemed relatively quiet. The shower is also pretty nice! But they sure did waste a lot of space putting in a tiny tub that no one would use. \n\nI give the Flamingo as a whole 2 stars because it just wasn't our scene, especially in the evenings! We typically enjoy going out and then coming back to our hotel and having the option to gamble before crashing for the night, and we just didn't do that here. Also, their restaurant choices are not too great, and is it too much to ask for a Starbucks???\n\nOn the other hand, the pool is really nice and it is funny to watch the line start up at about 8AM every morning (I even waited in line one morning in fear that I wouldn't get a chair, haha)! Just an FYI, for all those that have questions/concerns about their pool....YES, it does get very crowded! They advertise that they don't open till 9AM, but I saw them letting people in as early as 8AM. If there is just a couple of you, you will have no problem getting a decent chair as long as you are there before about 11AM M-TH. However, if you go Fri.-Sat. you will probably need to be there by about 10AM to ensure you get chairs together, because it really does get crowded. And if you aren't an early morning person, then I would wait till about 12-1 to go because by then people start leaving and you can usually snatch their chairs as they are leaving.\n\nFlamingo makes for an okay stay...it just didn't do it for me (maybe I was asking for too much). If I could do it all over again I think we would have chosen to pay for another casino because it would have made for a better overall stay...but that's just me!

This is my favorite Asian food buffet. \n\nWhy?\n\nGood:\nSushi - Sashimi, Rolls, Deep Fried Rolls, Nigiri. - Basically anything your little heart desires. The quality is good here (not great, it's a buffet after all). It's constantly being turned over, and for the price you pay, it's pretty amazing.\nCrab Legs - I don't think I am the first to remark that you get ALL you can eat crab legs here. Crab Legs...all you can eat.\nDreyer's Ice Cream - Ice Cream is bomb, and here they have 8 or so flavors to try. Green Tea Ice Cream Yum!\nSalad Bar - I say this because they have KimChee and Squid Salad (their version of it). Which is pretty cool. Also - try the banana cookie strawberry pudding (TRUST ME).\nMongolian Grill - It's all you can eat Mongolian Grill with choices like: Lamb, Squid, Chicken, Beef, Shrimp. \nThey also have crawfish and oysters on the half shell if you're so inclined.\nBeer, sake, wine is also served : )\n\nThe Bad:\nNow, Truth folks ... \n\nIf you're craving Beef with Broccoli, or Orange Chicken - Go elsewhere. Those dishes don't look the best, and those who I dine with have never raved about them. I like their soups, green beans, mini dum sum situation...but their fried rice looked bleh, and the beef looked rubbery and subpar. \n\nAlso bad, kinda dirty (so don't inspect things too much).\n\nBottom Line-\n\nIf you're going out for cheap sushi, crab legs, Non- Americanized Asian items and/or Mongolian grill,..and maybe wanna get a little buzz going on while doing so...you've found a the spot.

Bought a coupon from groupon and went to eat there only to find out they had no ribs or chicken only brisket. Terrible !!!!\nDo not go there!!! :(

Nice prices! If you need a cheap tool to get a quick job done this is your store. But if you need a wrench that you plan on handing down to your grandchildren I don't think this is the place for that kind of quality.Also if you plan of shopping here don't forget to use a coupon as well as in store deals of the week. Who knows you might need something on sale that week.

After doing researcher on their wed site, I was excited about gathering a group of moms to play at their open gym. I called to get more information about a specific event and was told they no longer have that event. However, they did still hold an open gym during that time. So a girlfriend and I arrived at noon and were told very rudely that we were 30 mins early. There was no classes going on at the time and the little kids area was empty. I told them I had just called and was told 12 pm, and even mentioned the event that they no longer have. The front desk staff did not care and told us that we would have to wait. I asked about the event that was on their wed site and was told that I was wrong, even though I had checked before going that day and it was still on there. The second time going, was not any better and they were still extremely rude and very confrontational. This was my third time going and once again the staff was rude, disorganized and did not care about my business. The open gym is a bit pricey and is only a hour and a half, in which they always open the doors late and then want you to stretch for the first 10 minutes. I have a 22 month old son, so he could care less about sitting and stretching. Then they kick you out 10 minutes before its over, and have you walk across the parking lot for a free snack(small bag of goldfish). The option to stay and play for the last 10 minutes is not available and every staff member(all teenagers) told me at one time or another that open gym was now over. I would not mind the price or the length of time, if the stuff was friendly!! :(

My local sports bar. It has the prefered sound and enough televisions so no matter how busy it is, my neck isn't cramped and I don't have to strategically place myself to listen to a game. \nIt is a bar. It has bar food. Nothing really stands out for me in the realm of fries, sandwhiches and wings. On the other hand, I've never had a bad experience either. So when I eat there, I'm not anticipating dissapointment or spectacular, but I am expecting constantcy. Consistancy is what is delivered. \nBuffalo Blues does have a wide array of enticing imports and domestics. \nService is spotty, I do find myself hoping to find the more personable staff working when I go there. The plus is, when specific staff is working, the place is that much of a better establishment. Consistantly just above average in my opinion.\nI chose 4 stars because it is constantly an above par establishment. 5 stars would require something really enticing to set it aside in character from a slew of other sport bar venues. I would like to observe the spring/summer atmosphere inwhich I'm anticipating another review to be 4 stars.

Not local friendly.not very accommodating for groups larger than 6 or so.average staff at best. Foods ok,service needs work.I would not recommend this place.

I really love trader joe's! I am giving them 4 stars and not 5 for this location because of the size of the store, and its hit and miss depending on what time and day you go.... Employees are constantly stocking the shelves, but sometimes you can't get what it is you are looking for.\nI love the quality of their organic products, and the prices are fabulous!! Especially compared to Whole foods prices.\nAnother thing I love about Trader Joe's... their fresh flowers... so beautiful and look beautiful for a week or more!\nQuality and Price!!!\nYay!!!

Tried to grab a dessert with the fam (4 of us) at Zinc. Got denied by a rude Manager(?), who told the super cool hostess that we cannot tie up a table in the patio or courtyard if all we wanted was dessert. Bummer, the dessert was supposed to be a special treat for my daughter who just recovered from being in the ICU for a few days.

My wife and I noticed this place about six weeks ago, but we were unable to recall the name and never had the opportunity to try it. Unfortunately, I was able to discover the name and was very disappointed in a variety of ways. I was unable to locate their website, so I called and was met by a voice that mimicked a teenager who simply would rather be doing something else. When I inquired about the menu, I was told to go to the website which was \""under construction\"". A return call, I placed an order for two pizzas. The only good thing about this experience was the quick delivery, but my delivery consisted of the wrong pizza. Normally I would call and request that the order be fixed, but the pizza wasn't really worth fixing as it tasted like it had been prepared at the mall.

there are a lot of clothes in this store that i wouldn't be caught dead in & a lot of clothes that i think are very strange but American Apparel has the most amazing t-shirts and hoodies. \n\nthe tri-blend t-shirts are the most comfortable t-shirts ever made!!!! i realize they are a lil pricey for a t-shirt, but this is not a normal t-shirt....it's so SOFT & COMFY!!!\n\ni wish the camden location was still open on days i want to avoid the mall but oh well, it's worth it!

One of the most organized airports we've seen. Car rental dropoff center: buses frequent & organized lines with attendants to keep the pushing to a minimum. 2 stops, we went from the center to terminal 1 in 15 minutes. Delta has priority member line & bag drop right there. Security checkpoint has a line for 1st Class, not priority, & the line for non-first class were long, but after ids check, there are many scanners & they seemed to be moving well. Very short (& frequent) trams to D concourse, short walk even to the furthest gate (D40-43).

I wasn't a very big fan of Ruby Tuesday's, but I am still sad to see it closed, just another Mill Ave memory. The salad bar was sub par at best, but they did have decent turkey burgers. They had really cheap drinks for happy hour, but the atmosphere in the place was so crappy it wasn't worth chugging them down there. I'm surprised Ruby held on as long as she did on Mill.

I got the Mediterranean chicken pita tacos and carnita (sp?) fries. So good! \n\nHowever, the service was the best part. Our hostess and server (Jason) were both very kind, friendly, and calm even though the restaurant was busy. I appreciated their optimism and happy attitudes! It was refreshing.

Only three cashiers open at 9:30 on a Thursday night and one of them is having issues. Lines are at least 10 people deep. Didn't move for 10 minutes. Seriously??? I just walked out. Customer service is awful. Dirty store. Always out of everything. I don't know why I even try to come here. Never again!

QuikTrip has a great selection of food and beverages. The store is always immaculate and the staff is extremely polite and helpful.

Awesome coffee shop at the Biltmore. This is owned by the same people who run Royal at the Phx public Market downtown. Modern vibe and right next to shopping. The iced Chai and the Iced hazelnut coffees are great!!!

I was happy to see they added chicken to the menu sorry to say it was tasteless and undercooked. The cole slaw was bad and potatoe wedges hard. We won't be back

11/16/14 \nCalled ahead to find out what the Gluten Free crust had for ingredients. John told me to be patient he had another customer on the other line. I told him to go right ahead, he was super polite. When he came back on the line he mentioned they bought the Gluten Free dough from a actual bakery out here in town. It was made of Chick Peas. I asked if they used real olive oil he said yes. I asked about Corn and he said the owner does not like using Corn meal and that there was none on the premises.\n\nStopped in tonight around 5PM (busiest hour). John was the only man in the kitchen. He held it down too. He took an order before us & then ours. When he served them their big order (bigger than ours 6 pizzas). He had ours ready in the box hot & fresh to go. I was amazed he could handle the kitchen by his lonesome.\n\nNow for the pizza. I ordered a Gluten Free ($12.99) White pizza w/ ($1) Black Olives, TO GO. The pizza was seasoned with creamy garlic sauce. It was NOT greasy, just enough oil to cook the pizza to perfection. Think about the ingredients you choose if don't want a greasy pizza.\n\nCoupons on their website. PICK UP SPECIAL LARGE 1 topping pizza $8.88.\nhttp://www.lvpizzalicious.com/coupons\n\nI suggest DINE IN or TAKE OUT. Check in on Yelp and get a free Cheesecake or Chocolate mousse. We LOVE to split the Mousse cake & enjoy it slowly. It's waaaay rich and delicious. Super good food, and makes the perfect date spot with a free slice of cake. Great staff, quiet place to enjoy a date night.\n\n Best pizza in town, I would say it's on the same par as Grimaldi's but WAY cheaper than buying an $18 pizza (plus toppings).

I have been going to multiple Caramba locations for years, always good food and margaritas that hit you hard. This is our favorite location we come often and love it! Mexican Pizza and Caramba stuffed Quesadilla are our favs.

Service was beyond bad, we waited & waited for refills, the check..., will never come back. Food was overpriced, and the server spit when he spoke, so being literally spit on plus waiting when there were maybe 4 families in the whole place.. Food was whatever..but could not get over how bad the service was. What a way to treat my Mom on her birthday :: total fail:: :( it took 2 hours to get out of there

i have been a Cox customer for 10 years and our normal cable, phone, alarm and internet bill is over $250 per month.. We had an outage on Friday and my internet has not been back up till this morning (today is Monday). My service was \""yellow tagged\"" at the pole.. disconnected for NO REASON even though my bill is current and nothing outstanding. Cox does not care i lost work (i work from home on the internet doing business consulting via Skype), cox does Not care it was done on purpose and says \""mistakes happen\"" and to deal with it. This is how they treat a Loyal customer of 10 years when THEY make a mistake? Great job cox.. ill be sure to Never use your services again.

This was a really great dinner. There were 7 of us in town from the Bay Area for Spring Training. I looked this place up on yelp.\n\nOn a Saturday at 4:30pm we called for a table for 7 that night and we were able to get a table at 7:30pm. The hostess asked if this was a birthday party and I mentioned that it was my friend's Bachelor Party.\n\nWe were seated by Chelsea, who was super nice. She gave a very descriptive and effective summary of the menu and all its options. Plus in realizing that weren't local she gave us suggestions for places to hang out.\n\nThe steak was awesome, I had the prime rib lobster combo which was great. When we all got our food, Chelsea came by to check whether our steaks were cooked at the level we all wanted. The side dish I chose was the twice cooked potato (I'm a big fan of potatoes)... can't go wrong with a potato that has bacon stuffed in it.\n\nWe also split some appetizers.. I particularly loved the bacon-wrapped scallops and the baked shrimp.\n\nAnd throughout the night different servers came by to congratulate the Bachelor.. all of them were very friendly.

Mr Tofu used to be my favorite restaurant in Las Vegas before the owner changed:( i am so sad because I knew the previous owner and they were so nice and tofu soup was THE best I've ever had. I haven't gone to Mr Tofu for couple months and was craving for it so I went after I knew the owner changed expecting the taste to be the same... I learned that even though the ingredients are the same, whoever makes it makes a difference. I was so disappointed in the food!!! I ordered pork tofu soup and pork bulgogi. The pork bulgogi was too salty and the tofu soup tasted like ramen soup with a whole lot of water in it and the color of the soup was dark brown... Usually it's dark red. We told the server that it taste too watery. So he took it to the kitchen and came back out with the soup. I tried it again and it tasted the same but more spicy.. Like spicy water! I didn't bother asking again. I usually finish the soup but I couldn't finish this time. Decided not to go from now on... Where can I find a place with the same taste of tofu soup I had before?:( it sucks the owner went back to Korea...

So a coffee fiend (me) walks into Zoom Espresso. He asks for a hot cafe americano (which is on the menu, by the way).\n\nThe young dude behind the cash register gives him a blank stare and asks \""What's in a cafe americano?\""\n\n\""Two shots of espresso and water,\"" says the coffee fiend.\n\n\""Nobody's ever ordered one of those here before.\""\n\n\""Umm, just gimme a large cup of regular coffee.\""\n\nAnd even that wasn't good. If a place has the word \""espresso\"" in the name, it's necessary to have someone who can pull at least a competent shot of espresso. And knows what an americano is.

I have been to the Tempe location a few times in the past but never to this location. They have really good everything. Sandwiches and breakfast items. They have a lox and bagel platter for two that is great. Their pastrami sandwiches are awesome. So good. We have ordered sandwiches for meetings for work from here and at lest one person has be come addicted to them.\nThis time I had been craving pancakes for awhile and I had some time off and was looking for a good place to fulfill my craving. I remembered Chompie's had good pancakes. So off I went. What a great choice. I got the Breakfast of Champions which is two pancakes, eggs and bacon. I also got a side of sourdough toast. Boy did that hit the spot. It was so good I ate all of it. Don't think I ate anything else the rest of the day. The pancakes were nice and fluffy just what I had been craving.\nThey also bring out a pickle sampler plate with some new pickles and regular pickles. They are so good.\nI will definitely be back to order more bagels, lox, pancakes, sandwiches and everything. Oh the pastries in the case are to die for too if you have any room left.

When you own a beater you have to except to add a quart of oil every so often before that 10,000 mile oil change. My wife's car had only 7 1/2 quarts in it so I had to add a quart. \n\nI pulled in while avoiding the dude that was ghetto blasting the music in his car. To my surprise it was a clean and organized store. I found what I was looking for and went on my way. I chose to add the oil when I got back to work because I just wasn't digging that other dude's music.

This is the perfect alternative to the insane pool parties on the strip. I recently stopped in for a free redbull/vokda all day promo and had a blast ! Things to love:\n\n*The hot DJ who actually knew what she was doing\n*Great people watching, but not a \""scene\"" \n*No lines, no cover\n*Spend $100 on food/drink and a day bed is your's\n*The food and drink is actually delicious - unlike many of the strip offerings\n*A nice range of ages, body types, etc - no one should feel out of place\n*Adults only, no screaming annoying children\n\nI far prefer this place to Tao Beach . A little quieter, but still just as fun. You don't need a line and a cover to enjoy yourself !

This place sucks\n\nWith so many places to stay in Las Vegas Why would anyone stay at the Mirage? My wife had a conference at the Mirage so we were stuck there.\n\nAs my daughter and I were walking through the casino (the only way to get to the elevators fron the front) one of the casino bosses rather rudely informed me that kids aren't allowed in the casino.\n\nOur daughter was looking forward to swimming in the pool unfortunately there wasn't any water in it. The Jacuzzi was cold with cigar butts and ashes around the edge. Great for a kid. \n\nWhen we got out vehicle from the Valet we found that they broke part of the door handle. Now every time I go to open the drivers side door the trim falls off and we're reminded the lousy care we received. \n\nOf course they won't take responsibility for the damages.\n\nLas Vegas as a whole is a bit of a let down, just a bunch of drunken squank. I fail to see the appeal of Las Vegas. I guess you got to be drunk the appreciate it.

Okay so if you read my other reviews on asian feet message/ reflexology, they are located in spring mountain. This is honestly as good as it can get, same low prices $19- half hour, $30- 45 mins, $35- 1 hour. Its dark when you walk in and the masseurs are waiting for you. I went in this morning around 11:30am without an appt and I didnt even have to wait! I was greeted very kindly and a lady took me to a chair. Each chair is closed off by the asian room dividers. Dont worry though, its low and the ceiling is high, this isnt your 'sterotypical' asian massage parlor. This place is legit. I got the 1 hour massage and even though it says 'foot massage' none of the asian places actually concentrate on your feet for the whole time. My massage was typical, it starts with reflexology on your head, massage on your neck, behind your ears, shoulders, arms. While this was happening, my feet were soaking in tea water. After the upper extremity, they worked on my legs, feet, then made me sit on the ottoman to do my back and stretch my arms. \n\nSo... this is the type of massage you should expect. The reason why I give this place 5 stars is because although they people dont speak english very well, they are still super nice. The massage was one of the best i've had- even comparing to places like hotels, massage envy, and massage heights. \n\nThis stop was really random because I was 'supposed' to be running errands. Im sooo glad I forced myself to stop in because months worth of stressed has just been all relieved!

Stopped here in a afternoon, wasn't impress with the selections. The stuff they do have were looking that great either, got nothing and walk out the door.....smelled fishy just like the name.

Well this used to be my place to refer anyone with a skin condition. They removed cancer 5+ years back on two adult family members and treated my own teenage acne issues 20 years back. Dr. Thomas is very skilled and knowledgable but we booked with another Dr. because it was a long wait for him and having dealt with a partner before without issue I thought this would be ok. Went sour. No follow up, can't get dr to follow up on call, nurse called and couldn't answer questions on medication, other dr \""didn't want to step on toes\"" to offer advice, another staff calls and asks to talk to patient instead of me and patient is a child,has no idea of where we are at with treatment because she says there are no notes of the last two conversations I've had with the nurse about the prescription. My trust is blown. We will be seeking another dermatologist for this unresolved issue.

This is our go to service center for the whole fleet of family cars. Managers Paul and David are both extremely helpful and involved in every job. I can't say that we love every Firestone location but this one is top notch.

After much searching for an affordable window tint dealer, I was connected to JR. This guy is nothing but a straight hard-worker who does great quality window tint removal and installation. A couple months later, I'm a satisfied customer. \n\nHe removed the tint off my windows that I was previously warned by a cop for being at 5%. JR was friendly, professional and excellent when he was able to pull my old tint off and install new, legal 35% tint on. We had some idle conversation while he worked on it. \n\nOne thing to keep note of - he is mobile and comes to you. If you live in an apartment complex, you may need to have an additional extension cord to help him out so he can use his blowdryer/heat gun to cure the tint. \n\nThis guy works so hard, he doesn't have a site or anything like that. The number on his card is 623-418-1809.

We always enjoy staying at this hotel. However I have to knock it down a point maybe a point and a half if we could do half points because our maid never replenished our toiletries with fresh new bottles of shampoo and shower gel. Granted they were half full but I thought it was a bit tacky that they didn't give out new ones at least every other day if they were trying to save money. Plus we like our room on the cooler side and EVERY time the maid came and left our thermostat would be reset to 72....very annoying. A few years back while staying here we came back to our room while a supervisor was double checking the room after the maid worked on it. The supervisor told us she did random checks on the quality of the rooms after the maid fixed it up. Perhaps they need to step that up again cause it kinda left a little more to be desired this time around. Still 4 stars cause over all the hotel is very nice, bright and decently ventilated.

I can't even begin to describe the TERRIBLE customer service here!! \n\nIt was my first time there and I asked the lady behind the counter what was in the coconut milk tea and coconut milk (yes.. in hindsight it seems obvious..but I wanted her to tell me what each drink looked/tasted like) \n\nShe gave me a dirty look and said \""coconut\"" while tapping her pen impatiently.\n **Uh-huh** yes, I got that much from reading your menu that both drinks have coconut.. but is there anything else you can add to that description to help me decide? Is one sweeter/thicker/blended/over ice..etc than the other? \n\nSo I raised an eyebrow at her response, but ordered the coconut milk tea and laughed it off as a typical asian place with hasty service. \n\nTHEN when my drink came, I took one sip and it literally tasted like Almond syrup sludge. So I said.. \""Um this is almond milk tea, I ordered coconut.\"" First she says \""no I wrote down here almond\"" and I stare at her and said \""I asked you about the coconut drinks then ordered it, remember?.\"" OH..this woman had the nerve to ask \""OK, SO?\"" \n\nSOoOoO?! Are you insane? How can you run a business being this rude even for Chinatown? I gave her my best death stare and told her to give me what I ordered. It got to the point where another customer who she was chatting it up with was apologizing profusely for her attitude. (Later I found out that he was an owner at the noodle shop nearby). She finally shouted something into the kitchen staff and they handed over a new drink... which still tasted like syrup sludge...now in coconut flavor. \n\nBottom line: gross sludge drink + rude service.. Go somewhere else for your boba!

Went today to pick up a to-go order and was very disappointed. \n\nWe ordered two salads and a sandwich with slaw. While they mastered putting the tuna salad on the side of one salad, the dressing we ordered was missing. Neither salad came with a side of bread. \n\nThe sandwich was very large and good, however the slaw tasted a little \""funky\"" almost rancid. \n\n\nAlso, to-go salads should come with forks...... just saying...

After moving from Chicago last summer (in the middle the dust storms) and living in a house that faces east and west, it was critical that I find a good window cleaner. I contracted 1st Glass to clean twice a month. Since August I have been able to count on Justin to make sure all my windows (and there are lots of them) are clean and streak free. \n\nIf you need a window cleaner, this is the company you should try. You won't be disappointed.

First, my disclaimers... I have a pretty negative stance on tobaco smoke; especially cigars. I'm here on business from Oregon and not only don't smoke cigars, but it wouldn't dawn on me that a hotel would support a cigar bar. But then, this is the South, and we're in tobacco country (sadly). I'm a public health professional, and am pretty mortified that the National Association of Public Health Institutes would choose to hold a conference in a hotel that not only had a cigar bar, but reeked of stale cigar smoke. But, to give them the benefit of the doubt, I'm sure they never thought to ask.\n\nSo, you get where this is going, right? Walking into the hotel, it smelled stale. They sent me to a room (on the 8th floor) that smelled totally moldy - I kept wondering if they had been involved in a flood - did Hurricane Sandy hit here? I thought another room might help. The second room they sent me to was either occupied, or someone had decided to have their dinner there. I asked for a third.\n\nRoom three doesn't smell much better. Again, stale and moldy. But I finally got it - it's the entire hotel. The elevators reek from old cigar smoke, and the entire building is permiated by this acrid odor. I can't wait to hear what the public health people have to say about this tomorrow. Meanwhile, I have to tolerate being in this building for the next two days. And I already have a headache. The things I put up with for my job...

Food is ok. Could definitely be better. Their gumbo is actually very good. It is not a very good place to have a casual drink. The layout is very poor and the bartenders are horrible. They don't work the bar and seem annoyed when people order a drink.

I had a Salted Caramel ice cream cone last night. The ice cream was very good. I ordered a waffle cone though and got a sugar cone. I am just not a fan of sugar cones. Not sure what that was all about but maybe they only have one type. it was FF so very busy. I did not say anything because well, it was delish either way. lol. The staff were very nice. The only issue is this place is very small so the line goes out the door and claustrophobia can set in. I did not sample any other flavors. I would not drive out of the way to go here but if I am in the area I would definitely go back. I am closer to Churn which has more space and a nicer environment.

not sure why I keep going back, food is generally sub par and service very mediocre for a premium priced establishment.\n\nI love northwest oysters and appreciate when they are fresh and willing to pay the $ in the desert but will have to hold out from now on. Had oysters twice, neither time was very good, took too long, pieces of shell in oysters, not very fresh, etc.\n\nThe lobster bisque on Christmas day was disgusting, salty, oily, gross.\n\nAnother time had a decent lunch of Mahi and my wife had the salmon which was enjoyable.\n\nLike a lot of chain restaurants in Scottsdale and Phoenix, it lacks the attention to detail that got them started. \n\nnext time will go to a local place and wait for fresh seafood when we travel.

The BEST bacon burger ever. First yelp review because this burger deserved a review. I was visiting Phoenix and was looking for an outdoor place to enjoy a delicious burger without being overpriced. Coach's was the answer. They chop up he bacon and cook it in the burger- AMAZING. Perfect burger. Great service. Great beer specials. Will definitely try and remake this burger at home.

My husband and I went to JJ's yesterday expecting an average dog - not knowing what we were getting into. \n\nWe walked in and were surprised to see an extensive menu of creative hot dogs, brats and sausages (even veggie options) that could make your mouth water! The prices were right - two dollars for the dog of the day and 3-4 dollars for other menu hot dogs. I got the Sonoran which had beans, salsa and a cilantro lime cream. It was so delicious I ordered another! My husband had the mac daddy (mac and cheese on your dog!) \n\nWe both walked away satisfied and FULL! - But wanting more :)

We went to UK for the first time for their \""Fowl Dinner,\"" a 7 course meal featuring different kinds of fowl served at communal tables of up to 8 people. The event began with a cocktail, Death's Door, that was delicious. From there it was a mixed bag with some courses, e.g., foie gras on crostini with p.b.& j. milk punch and a duck egg flan for dessert, that were tasty and inventive, and some, e.g., squab done in a barbeque style, that were very mediocre or worse. Some courses were served on flat boards with mounded piles deemed sufficient to serve 8 with a spoon for serving. It was sometimes difficult to get right-sized portions off the flat platter before passing it around the table. All in all, at $50 dollars per person excluding tips and drinks (with the exception of the complimentary cocktail), the experience was definitely not worth it. The noise level was dreadfully high and one felt drained over the 2 and 1/2 hour serving time. We would not try this again!

horrible owner and i will not go back!!! they don't want to honor their frequent card saying it expired. i was there today 7/24/13, the first time i went there was august of 2012. my card had a stamp on the name side as 8/15/2012, that was the first time i got the card in 2012. how can it expired when it hasn't even been a year since i stepped into that place??\n\nthey were slow, i sat at the table by the door. then the waitress asked me to move closer because she was the only one working that shift, ok i moved. then i wanted ayce she said, oh then you should sit at the bar...ok...i sat at the bar. then the bill came gave her my cc & frequent card and she didn't want to stamp it saying it expired, and she was new and i never saw her before. where was my nice little Japanese server. \n\ntoo many ayce around here in this city. they lost a good paying customer that's for sure!!! and they fight with the customer and saying the customer is wrong...\n\ni never had this ever happened to me before!!!! i never ever have refused to pay for my meals at any restaurant. I had many coupons and frequent cards expired and I can clearly understand how it works!! i even paid for this one with the horrible experience...i just can't believe it!!!!! the sad part was I wasn't even trying to redeem it yet!!! i just wanted my freakin STAMP!!!\n\nI'm totally upset if my writing is not you can understand...lol!!\n\nBTW, I forgot to mention the food...\nSo it was a new sushi chef or old, I just never saw him before. he must have a lot on his mind...no smile, no talky no nothing. I order Hokki sushi (surf clam) he took the surf clam and cut it in half made two itty bitty ones...OMG! why was he soooo cheap. I usually get 2 clams per order. The rest was ok...\nThe reason I come here is because of Japanese own and I want to eat what is essence of Japanese food. They dab a bit of wasabi in every nigiri, the traditional way. Oh well, I guess I'll go to other sushi place and request that method. Soooooooooooooooooo...disappointed!!!

Tina T's review is right on target. There is certainly a lot of food, and it is presented decently. However the quality and tasted were average at best. My son and I visited the World Buffet about about 9pm on a Thursday in late December. The hotel was extremely crowded and smoky and we had to wait in line for over 30 minutes (thus breaking my rule of never waiting in any line for more than 10 minutes). Overall a disappointment.

Great setting, seating and atmosphere. Yes it's great to have a glass of beer, wine etc. and some nice touches like popcorn etc. \n\nBUT it is NOT a restaurant and yes, the food is mediocre at best and let's all agree, it is next to impossible to eat, let alone serve in the dark.\n\nMost times you go to a show and a movie so I suggest breaking it up and choosing one of the many great restaurants at the Quarter and enjoy the show with a beverage, great seats and have the best of all worlds!

I really wanted to give three stars, but I could not get past the lack of wifi in the rooms. That is inexcusable.\n\nThe check-in desk is close to the entrance from the parking garage. That is not the case at some casinos. It is convenient. The check-in process takes far too long for me, but it is right in line with most other casinos. They all need to get together and figure out a simpler system.\n\nThe rooms are OK. They are average sized. They are in decent shape. The bathroom could use an update though. You have to use a cable for Internet connection which is a shame. That is not helpful for your iPad.\n\nThere are several fast food options on site which is convenient late at night. It could use some more sit down options though. The cigar lounge is a great place to relax while enjoying a good cigar and drink.\n\nThe pool area is OK. The lazy river is a good idea, but you cannot drink while floating in it, so the cool factor goes away quickly.\n\nOverall this place is OK for the price. It is close to hot spots in Aria and Cosmopolitan.
