Upon arriving at the restaurant, my husband and I were informed by the host that our reservations had been listed for the FOLLOWING night, obviously not what we'd requested. We were told to \""have a seat\"", but that it might \""be a while\"", since this was a Friday night. Not long after, we were seated at the most awkwardly placed table near the corner of the restaurant. Absolutely no view of the Lake (which was one of the selling points from everyone, and something I was looking forward to!), and we were crowded into a half-booth/half-table between two other couples. The serving staff was nice enough, considering we were terribly disappointed, but they didn't do much to make our experience any more personal, due to the fact that they were taking care of our \""boothmates\"" as well. I lost my interest in ordering any appetizers, and focused on the steak. Now, that filet was AMAZING! So much flavor, cooked to perfection, and just wonderful. I was pretty anxious to leave after that, I just couldn't justify spending any more time and money here when I was not having a good time. So, we passed on the desserts as well (sooooo not like me!).\nI don't think I will be back here again, which is a shame because the food was fabulous! But right from the start we were made to feel as though we were a bother, since there was a mix-up with our reservation. The decor is beautiful and I'm sure the show is great, but if you're looking for a more intimate experience, keep looking! | 0 |
Eaten here many times and enjoyed most of there food. Just wish the prices would come down some and they use different types of Frys. | 1 |
We went on Friday night to Don and Charlie's with some friends. We didn't have a reservation so the wait was quite long, which really wasen't a big deal because I knew the wait would be long.\n\nThe owner saw that we we had been waiting so he found a table for us.\nThe problem was the waitress was quite busy and when we ordered our food she assumed that we would be sharing so she had everything split. We asked numerous times for ketchup and she kept forgetting. \nThe biggest problem I had was that I ordered ribs. They were so dry that I had to pour lots of sauce over them. Earlier that night the ASU football team was there, I think they cooked a ton of ribs and had extras that they didn't use, so then they served those to us. They were the worst ribs I have ever had!\n\nI do love the decor and maybe the food would be better at another time. | 0 |
My go to meal spot has always been Grand Luxe. What's not to love about a place that serves greasy affordable goodness in a pretty decent setting at all hours of the day. \n\nBut there comes a time when new horizons must be pushed, or maybe revisit old places which one has stumbled into in an incoherent fashion at one point or another. \n\nAnd so, Max Brenner was targeted for the next mid day meal (for obvious reasons) which offered a somewhat delightful meal (although not for some.)\n\nIf its any consolation prize, the savory foods may be a little on the edge, but the sweets are definitely a high point here, namely chocolate.\n-Brenner Burger - delicious. but when is a burger not? plus for coming with waffle fries which sealed the deal.\n-Waffle Fries with Cocoa Powder and Chili sauce - although just came with extra sauce, it was really good. \n-Molly Stones Croquetes - absolutely delicious little crunchy things with tons of cheese on them. \n-Banana Split Waffle - This was pretty out of this world. The chocolate sauce drizzled over it perfectly along with the ice cream and caramel layer and mini crunchy chocolate balls. I'm not a sweets person, but this one got to me. | 1 |
After seeing this place on the Travel Channel and finding out it was right here in Las Vegas I thought I'd give it a try. This would turn out to be a horrible decision. \n\nI went to the location on Tropicana (as this review is for) and went through the drive through. I should have turned around after seeing how low budget their signs and graphics were (this would turn out to be a reflection of their over all attitude). I then drove up to the window and waited for around 4-6 minutes. I thought they were closed (even though it was 6pm on a weekday) because no one came to the window. I did see other cars and saw some customers walking in the front. Finally a guys comes to the window. He doesn't speak much English. I explained a few times we were ordering 2 reubens one with corn beef and one with pastrami (you have the choice here which is nice). We ordered the fries and onion rings and some drinks too. He just closed the window when I said the drinks. I wasn't sure if he was coming back or got my order or even understood it. He never even told us our total or how long it would take. \n\nAt least 13 minutes passed by while we sat in at the drive up window. I did try yelling a couple times but no one came back to the window. Lucky we were the only car there. After 20 minutes I got out of the car and went in the front door.\n\nThere were about 10 people all standing around impatiently and I saw this dirty disgusting kitchen with one guy (fresh over the boarder) working by himself. One couple canceled their order and walked out. He didn't seem to even care. I don't blame this guy since he was working his butt off and was really sweaty (which was dripping all over) and he didn't have any help. Needless to say after I went back in the car and got the food over 1/2 hour had passed probably close to 40 minutes. I asked the worker if he was the only the one and he said in broken English that the owner wouldn't get him any help and told him he can work by himself. \n\nWhen we got home both the reubens were very fatty. It was like a dead flesh flavored chewing gum. The lemonade was awesome (the only good part of the meal), the fries were just fried frozen potato sticks, the onion rings were nothing special and everything was way too greasy. They also didn't have any ranch available. The one employee said he had been too busy to make the ranch. \n\nThe owner of the restaurant should be hung, drawn, and quartered. How dare you leave this poor immigrant by himself in there to fend for himself. This place screams health hazard and disaster all over it. \n\nThis just goes to show you. What you see on TV can be a totally different experience. I do hope the owner(s)/manager(s) get their acts together and makes this place better for the real customer experience. | 0 |
Too damn expensive and the service usually sucks! The food is good but not worth this much frustration. | 0 |
The food is awesome and you can pack as much as you want in the bowl and still take some home with you. It is perfect as leftovers the next day! I would definitely keep going back! | 1 |
This place is good for what it is, an AYCE Sushi and Japanese place. And the location can't be beat since it's located in the Las Vegas Premium Outlets.\n\nThe interior of the restaurant is spacious and very relaxing after shopping for a few hours. The sushi and hot entrees are pretty good and the service is fast and friendly.\n\nSometimes you just want to get your grub on and this place is more than adequate to satisfy your needs. Don't come expecting top notch sushi here and you'll have a fine dining experience. | 1 |
Maybe the best frites I've had, even better than the ones in Belgium. Absolutely to die for. The sliders were awesome. The oysters were good, but had chunks of shell in them which very much disrupted the dish.. Maybe it's just me, but having to reach in your mouth to pull out chunks of shell in a nice restaurant seems awkward at best.\n\nOther than that, it was very good though.. And the \""Liquid Nitrogen Frozen Cocktails\"" are worth trying once just for the floor show, but the cocktail was excellent too. | 1 |
Staff was very pleasant. Work was done quickly, correct and what I feel was a fair price | 1 |
The bakery makes great breads, rolls, and pastries that look and taste authentic, and the \""back\"" room has a nice selection of German imported foodstuffs and candies. The prices are relatively high, but after you figure in shipping cost, very reasonable. The service tends to be american... that is to say indifferent at best, sometimes bordering on rude | 1 |
When you were able to smoke and drink outside the store it was a great spot despite the crazy prices for the cigars. I didn't mind paying so much because you got to sit very comfortably and relax. Those days are gone. You can only sit and smoke inside the store now and it is small! A group of six men all smoking makes the place a smoke filled mess. I love cigars but i dont want to be crammed into a place that is completely filled with smoke its not enjoyable. I know its Vegas but the cigar prices are seriously insane. I picked up two Casa Fuente cigars that are about $20 each cause you can only buy them in the store in Vegas. They are not worth it. I am a Padron fan and the Fuente cigars just never match up. Even the opus x ,anejo and forbidden dont match up sorry. If you love cigars and are going to Vegas BRING YOUR OWN. The prices for cigars anywhere on the strip are crazy. I would only consider going back to Casa Fuente if they go back to the smoking outside the store. In case you didn't get it the prices are laughable. | 0 |
I went there when I was in arizana I got the buffalo hamburger It was amazing. The service was great. There soda could be change to coke, sprite. It was very welcoming. | 1 |
Delicious. Everything. Got the original and the steak with mushroom. Both were outstanding. Service was a little slow but worth the wait. And friendly! What a welcome meal on our first trip to Montreal. | 1 |
This is a great place to get your cigar. They can help you find a good quality cigar that you will enjoy. Have a place to talk and smoke if you wish to stay and enjoy a cigar and some conversation. | 1 |
This place is the BEST boarding place I've used! \nI moved here from southern California where they had tons of these types of boarding places. But none as cheap, and none close to their level of service. \n\nIt doesn't look like much from the outside, I had driven by it many times not noticing. The first time I came, I was hesitant because the plain outside looks kind of run down. But inside they have several rooms set up 'just like home', with couches, end tables, so cute. And there is an outdoor play area with pools, and a kiddy play set with a slide. I was worried with the couches that my dog would get used to jumping on furniture, at home she's not allowed unless invited. But she seems to understand, and that hasn't been a problem.\nThey also have a webcam (with night vision), a really cool touch. You can log in anytime day or night and see your dog, on the computer or on your iPhone! I've never had a problem logging in. It's comforting to be out of town and check on your dog anytime. \n\nThe best part of this place is the staff. They are so nice and you can tell they really care. After the first time I came, they remembered my dog. And my dog (Scarlet - who has bad separation anxiety) loves it here! She now knows the route to Just Like Home and is excited as soon as we get off the highway. Now that she knows the place, she doesn't look back when I drop her off, she is excited to get in the back and play with the dogs. - Such a piece of mind when leaving her. \n\nI mainly use Just Like Home for overnight boarding, but have used the daycare in the summer so she can play with other dogs in AC. And I've gotten her the deshedding grooming package, which they did a great job. \n\nJust the fact that my dog is happy when I leave her, with her separation anxiety is enough to seal the deal with me. But the great staff and webcam access put this place over the top for me. | 1 |
I ordered fried shrimp and the fish and chips. First off the shrimps were very tiny and the fish was burnt the server was awful. The only good thing were the drinks that's because we brought our own drinks. Don't come here. You even have to flag down your freaking server and they need better cooks. | 0 |
I was told about the side door I went there last Saturday and I was treated so awful they told me if I wanted Mexican food for me to go next door to the pigs but if I wasn't Mexican and if I prefer Italian food for me to go to Uncle Sam there was this one lady took me out of the store and walk me to the back of the store to show me where I could go that will be the last time I will ever go to your restaurant and I'll make sure to let all my friends know how awful they treated me | 0 |
Above average airport food with a nice place to sit | 0 |
My buddy and I just ate lunch up at the bar. This was my second time in and this was the way to go. The food came quickly, the toasted subs were amazing and the beautiful young ladies that were bar tending welcomed us and made us feel right at home. I'll definitely be back soon to take my seat at the bar. Thanks! | 1 |
This place used to have good boba but lately it's super mushy and old tasting. Their Thai tea is really good though but I refuse to go here anymore because the owner is so rude. She always stares me down and makes me feel uncomfortable and throws the change back at me literally. Seriously if u want customers then u should be more friendly. Over 15 people have even complained to me about the way she treated them too. Good boba place but horrible service. | 0 |
At this Chinese market you will find almost anything you are looking for that is out of the ordinary. Not only are there Chinese food items, but also food stuffs from all over the world.....Indian spices and legumes, Goya products, malta india for all the Puerto Ricans that miss home. \n\nThe only reason that i'm rating it 1 star is because I think Mekong Palaza (the other oriental market just up the road from Lee Lee's) is not only as good, but is cleaner and more organized. Lee Lee's STINKS. I've never walked in and not smelled the 'old fish' smell. Mekong is just better, sometimes it smells a little, but never as bad as Lee Lee's. I simply enjoy shopping there more, not to mention their produce section is off the hook. The veggies are always fresh and good looking! Even their meat and fish department is well kept.....ok, this is turning into a review for Mekong, sorry. Anyways, sorry Lee Lee's, but I will shop elsewhere. | 0 |
I stayed here for 3 nights in the casino tower hotel with my husband and teenage son. The room prices are fantastic, and you get large rooms. The casino is very smokey, but all casinos in Vegas are, so I can't knock them down for that. They have a very nice pool, and the Midway is great for kids of all ages. The employees we encountered were friendly and helpful. I would go back to Circus Circus. | 1 |
The coffee was cold, the food was blah. Nothing special and not worth the wait! The only thing that was to die for was the fried oreos--Amazing! | 0 |
I came here about two nights ago for the first time and I have to say the food was deliciouse! But the service was AWFUL really makes me not want to go back! I went around 3 am and maybe the waiters were tired but it was my first time going so obviously I had some questions but they would reply very rudely and sarcastically! My boyfriend and I ordered one thing each and left! Maybe ill come back earlier one day to see how the afternoon workers are with customer service! | 0 |
This place is GREAT!\n\nSo when I first started going here I scored and found a dish that was absolutely amazing... Hunan Spicy Two. I literally ordered this dish every single time I went under the thought that the dish was so delicious there was no way anything could match it. By suggestion of the owner, I began to branch out and I gotta say, every dish is better than the last... like they just keep getting better. Their sauces are spot on and amazing. Absolute perfection every time. I'm a big fan of sauces in Chinese cooking and their dishes are made saucy and not dry.... so good. \n\nIt's a restaurant with no windows and the inside isn't totally chic, but it's no-nonsense mostly Cantonese style Chinese food with a hint of Thai. Give it a shot. \n\n*Note: Credit cards are accepted for $10 or more. | 1 |
I went to H2O on a whim since I live in Chicago and was visiting family in Champaign. I called the salon and asked for a senior stylist and explained over the phone what I would like done to my hair. I have long brown wavy hair and have had an ombre since last year and was looking to get it touched up. I told the woman who made my appointment and she reassured me that one of her 'senior stylists' could handle it.\nI sat in the stylist's chair for 4 hours and at the end of it I had the worst color and haircut Ive ever had in my life. \nI brought a picture of the color I was looking for and had a conversation with the stylist about what I wanted and she reassured me that she could do it. I ended up getting my hair fixed at another salon the next day and lost 3 total inches of my hair length because of what she attempted to do. The stylist that fixed it also told me she couldnt fix my color because my hair would break off after what the stylist at H2O did. | 0 |
I live right across the street from Thai Thai. After a year of driving/walking by and thinking \""I need to try that place\"" I decided, this evening, to give it a shot. However, after calling 5 TIMES with no answer, I gave up. I don't understand how a place can stay in business if nobody answers the phone to take your order. After all, it is takeout ONLY. I am very disappointed. | 0 |
The wait was forever but the food was terrific. Can't wait to try it again. Their bacon was fabulous and I had a very interesting omlette flavor combination. | 1 |
Ordered delivery and of course they get the order wrong after correcting him twice on the phone. Food pretty much sucked. Would not call it authentic or fresh. Burritos were dry. Your better off going to taco bell. Never will go here again. | 0 |
TERRIBLE SERVICE. First night we went to the bar.. there are NATS at the bar flying around sitting on the straws! OMG! ew! We left the bar to eat in the dinning area thinking it was cleaner.. well we got sat and waiters didnt even bother with us.. we didnt complain so dont think that we were ignored because we were jerks.. no.. she waited 15 mins.. didnt even ask if we needed anything and we left.. never again! | 0 |
In phoenix on a business trip I woke up at 1am with stabbing abdominal pain. I came in to the ER and was seen immediately. RN Beverly G was friendly, knowledgeable, and sociable and really helped me feel at ease... which isn't the easiest thing at 4am while exhausted, in awful pain, and pantsless.\n\nEveryone I felt with was professional with a good sense of humor, and made the several hour stay go by quickly. They never left me alone longer than 30 minutes at the longest and kept me updated on my situation and test results constantly.\n\nI only wish they were near home, because it was a far better experience than any I've found in Denver! | 1 |
My friend wanted to have one really nice dinner for his Vegas bday weekend. We all love steak, so we decided to make reservations at CUT. I had just dined at Alexander's( http://www.yelp.com/biz/alexanders-steakhouse-cupertino#hrid:zgOk0ixxx8Fog1FdFDMgKA/src:self ) a few weeks prior and LOVED it, so I had super high expectations for CUT. We had a party of eight, so we called in for reservations ahead of time. \n\nService here is definitely outstanding. There were so many servers waiting on us, I couldn't keep track. Our water glasses were always full, and your napkin would always be folded if you got out of your seat. Our waiter brought out a platter to display the different cuts of wagyu beef....Kobe vs. American...so we could see the different marbling. \n\nFor my first course, I ordered the Roasted Baby Beets, Humboldt Fog Goat Cheese, Pistachio, Citrus, Micro Basil, & Mint. I originally was going to get the USDA Prime bone in rib eye steak, but it was only $20 more for the American Wagyu rib eye....I was sold. I added the wild field mushrooms to top off my lovely piece of steak. Our table also ordered Saut\u00e9ed Baby Spinach, Soft Polenta with Parmesan and Tempura Onion Rings.\n\nMy beet appetizer had a very nice presentation. It was very colorful, and all of the ingredients complimented each other very well. All of our sides were very tasty. The polenta was nice and creamy, onion rings were crispy, and the spinach added the \""healthy\"" factor to our meal.\n\nThey prepare the steaks over a hard wood and charcoal grill and then finish them off in a broiler. My steak was cooked to a nice medium rare, and it melted in my mouth. The steak had great flavor, but I didn't really care much for the charred flavor from the broiler. The wild mushrooms I added went well with my steak and kept it moist from the sauce. I wasn't able to finish my steak and gave it to my friends who had the USDA Prime rib eye. They were amazed and could totally tell the difference from the Wagyu.\n\nThe only disappointment I had here was that they didn't have foie gras as an add on to your steak. I was spoiled by Alexander's, and left the restaurant craving that melt in your mouth foie gras. I was so expecting a 5 star dinner here, but I just couldn't give it to them. Please add foie gras to the menu! | 1 |
When you're at the August Wilson Center for a 7 pm show, and you have a blind lady in tow, your choices for dinner within walking distance are extremely limited in this block of downtown. So after trying to view options up and down the block without walking in circles, we opted to give Tonic a try since it was directly on the opposite corner from August Wilson Center.\n\nWe walked in, and were greeted by a friendly staff member, and given a seat. The atmosphere was rather pleasant, or at least the decor. It was clean, the staff was friendly, the seats were fine. The background music and conversation (downstairs) were not obnoxious or overpowering. The two giant screen TVs with incessant sports coverage were obnoxious, but they always are, and seem to be ALWAYS present in da burgh. But even with the sound turned off, I swear I could feel them trying to leech out as much of my IQ as they could.\n\nWe perused the menu, which seemed to be VERY basic, with appetizers, sandwiches, soups, salads, and very few 'meal' options, and the prices were a tad outrageous for such 'basic' options.\n\nWe ordered our sodas (thanks goodness, Coke product people), and I ordered a burger, and my friend the fish and chips. \n\nThe service staff was very friendly, including the trendy new boy in training who did a little boogie dance in the dining room...he was in a GOOD mood. The gal that was training him was a little more subdued, but I gathered that it was one of her last days before moving on to another job. Together, they provided excellent service. And the new boy was kind of adorable in his way.\n\nThen came the food. The 'Gourmet' burger boasted of being 8 oz of Kobe beef, with mushrooms and cheese, bacon and caramelized onions, and came with a side of fries. I opted to leave off the onions, and ordered the burger medium rare. The fish and chips was two big blobs of fried fish, a mound of fries, and a small bowl of cole slaw.\n\nThe burger was NOT fresh. The difference between fresh meat and frozen meat can be clearly seen with asking for it with any level of 'rare'. Fresh meat in a state of rare comes pink, frozen comes grey no matter HOW you ask for it, and this burger was grey. The bun was a little dried out, and the burger itself had very little flavor except for the over-abundance of artificial garlic or liquid smoke they used to season it. It was the kind of fake seasoning that created the cloud of garlic stench that surrounded me and fellow adjacent theater attendees for three hours of play, and several hours of a gassy stomach. The fries were fine, though clearly out of a bag of frozen processed and seasoned fries. And the burger didn't come with lettuce or tomato. This was $11.50.\n\nThe fish and chips were also of the freezer bag variety. My friend ate one lump of fish, and gave the other to me, which gave me soggy greasy breading, and a rubbery and flavorless fish. She had a bigger mound of fries than me, but they were the same freezer bag fries, and the slaw just looked kind of vinegar based. This was $15.\n\nNow, when you can get the best burger in town at Winghart's in Market Square which is real fresh ground beef, made truly to order, with actual flavor, for $7.50, why would you even try to go all 'bistroid' with a fakey and substandard frozen burger for $11.50? And this was the least expensive burger on their list!\n\nSame goes for the fish and chips. If you're going to pretend to be all uppity, then by gosh, make it fresh from scratch if you're going to charge a gourmet price for it.\n\nOne thing that I'm really starting to notice in the process of writing these reviews is that it truly seems that the higher the price goes in da burgh, the more mediocre it becomes, and as I've stated in multiple reviews, I don't give two hoots about your 'atmosphere'. I'm going for the food. And if the food is overpriced and substandard, I'm gone.\n\nThis was definitely a FTLT (first time, last time) visit. | 0 |
So apparently everything has changed at our favorite neighborhood Mexican place. The last 2 times we were the food was terrible! 3 Margarita's officially broke my heart and I am unwilling to get hurt again! | 0 |
This was my first time here... Came after it was highly recommended by a coworker. She suggested I try their specialty- the pork tacos. Well let's just say this will likely be my last time here. $12 got me two tiny, greasy, tasteless tacos. They were pretty much shredded, bland pork in a super greasy hard shell with shredded iceberg lettuce and a sprinkle of cheese. I asked for the sour cream/guac on the side, but the tacos were missing the sauce that the menu states is included. They came with a side of cold rice and beans that were also tasteless at best. I would give 0 stars if possible, but the bartender was prompt and friendly! | 0 |
I like this place. The food was very good. The hostess that took our order was great. She was very friendly and recommended a burger that was terrific. The guy that brought our meal was nice. I'd recommend Smashburger. | 1 |
I purchased a groupon because I wanted to treat myself to a spa treatment after battling two different cancer treatments. I was frustrated when after I purchased the groupon I had to wait over a month to schedule an appointment. It was so far ahead I just honestly forgot. I sent an email apologizing and asked what my options were. I received an email back saying Gigi would call me in two days. I received a call back basically saying so sad too bad. I am still in disbelief and will battle for a refund through other means just on the principle of the matter. I only entered one star because it would not post my review without it. Unbelievable. | 0 |
The works breakfast burrito with a bag of chips and salsa! Ohh yeah!! | 1 |
Chips, salsa and bean dip here are to die for. The food at Serrano's has always been amazing at all locations. The staff is always friendly. The burritos are delicious and fairly priced. Make sure to get them enchilada style. | 1 |
I want to enjoy Tutto Pasta. I want to like that it is cramped, and old, and a bit scruffy. I want to to praise Tutto Pasta because, and not merely in spite of its flaws. But I can't, because in my experience the food is marginal and the service is an afterthought. \n\nMy wife and I dined at Tutto several days ago before heading to the Overture Center for a concert and we were both disappointed. The pasta was fine. The calamari was tasteless. We were seated promptly (we made a reservation) but our waiter never asked us once about our food. \n\nIn the age of \""awesome,\"" \""fine\"" food can be ok. But that isn't even Tutto. Too bad. | 0 |
Save your dinero, because this place is no bueno. \n\nMost of the restaurants at MGM close for lunch, so we were left with a few options, and Pub 1842 was one of them. I thought it would be just fine since I'm accustomed to bar food, and actually love it. Michael Mina, why did you fail me? You left a lot to be desired.\n\nFirst off, there was nobody at the front to seat us (and it's a sit down style restaurant, so you can't just go in and seat yourself.) After a few minutes, someone finally came to help us out. It wasn't busy at all, maybe half a dozen tables at best. \n\nWe thumbed through the menu and were aghast at the exorbitant prices for bar food. $30 for fish and chips?! Whatever, I was starving so I ordered it anyway. I paired off my entree with a $4 coca cola. The other person at my table had a $15 salad (just seasoned asparagus), which she had the option of adding chicken for $12 more. Needless to say she did not enjoy her meal and was left starving afterward.\n\nHere is the rundown of my dish: Two heavily breaded beer battered flakey fillets on a bed of thick cut fries. I did not enjoy the breading at all. It tasted like Larry the Cable Guy's Beer Batter you can buy at the $.99 Cent Store. The fish was fine, and was flakey with no discoloration. I did not like ANY of the dipping sauces I ordered. They were all watery and gross. The tartar sauce tasted like coleslaw, the BBQ sauce was basically spicy water, and the ranch was watery as well. The fish and chips back home at the Fish Enterprise tastes WAY better and it comes with clam chowder and is HALF the price.\n\nThe one positive thing about Michael Mina's Pub 1842 is the service. Once seated, the staff was very friendly. Besides that one positive, I don't think I will ever be back to this place again.\n\nMy suggestion to anybody thinking of dining here is to save your $$$ and eat at the food court across from it! | 0 |
I could see the warning signs when my friends said they wanted to eat here. Fancy but somewhat nauseating decor (I can't explain it, but I had problems looking at the ceiling, it has some weird pattern to it). Techno music over the speakers. \n\nMaybe I'm spoiled by living near San Francisco and having easy access to good, cheap Chinese food. Kung pao chicken was average at best. The sauce for ma po tofu was kind of unusual underneath the chili and spices. And $2 for a small bowl of rice per person? Wow. \n\nThe one thing I didn't mind about this place were the noodles. They had a nice texture, but unfortunately the broth was lukewarm. \n\nOverall, not a place I would go to again. Honestly, Panda Express may have been a better idea. | 0 |
The Comedy Club now bills itself as \""Sandy Hackett presents the Riviera COmedy Club.\"" I went last night and Hackett started the comedy after having just finished his 1st floor gig with the Rat Pack Show he runs.\n\nThis club closed for a short time, but is now up and running again. Judging by the turnout last night and the talent of the comedians, the club should be OK as long as tourist numbers keep rising.\n\nI'll go back and see another show. It was quite good! And last night was only the 3rd night since the club was reopened. | 1 |
we enjoy this place. it's outdoors (really, not under a painted sky) so it's a little on the gritty side but it reminds us of a typical outdoor cafe in NYC. on a hot day it's fun to relax with an iced sangria and a few appetizers like the 5 cheese mac, grilled fish tacos, mofongo, or cubano panini. we keep coming back. | 1 |
It is so crowded and the prices are high. And if you think that's bad, wait til you go to checkout. They had two lanes open, that's it. Never going back. | 0 |
I cannot, for the life of me, understand why the gas price is so out of line. There is nothing special about this location EXCEPT astronomical gas price. If you can, avoid this location at all coats. There is no need to pay $.20 - $.30 more than every other station. | 0 |
I have been waiting to go to Bacchanal for over a year now. Just recently celebrating their first birthday I have heard such great stories. Some of my favorite buffets before entering this one were others regarded for being \""upscale\"" or \""fresh\"" like the Wicked Spoon (Cosmo) or Studio B (M). Bacchanal did not disappoint. \n\nI was scared about the wait for the buffet. They close at 10, and I was arriving at 7:30. I expected a 90+ min stand in line. Instead I got to walk up to a computer stand, input my phone number, and print out a ticket to come back and pay / wait for my table. 9:02. The time frame was right, but I got to spend the time relaxing and not in line. Presumable this is so that they can let their customers gamble and make more money. I enjoyed the free bench at Starbucks and stayed entertained with conversation with friends. Going back to line around 8:50, they let us in early to pay and sit. I still had to wait a solid 15 more after paying to sit. \n\nSitting down I was served a drink and bolted to the buffet. It is only one side of the floor, but it is huge. I read before over 500 items, which is probably somewhat accurate if you count each individual label for honey and bread. Starting with ramen and ending with hot crab, I went back to try almost everything. Unfortunately I did not get to eat a mass quantity of any one thing, but got to try most things. I was delighted to actually enjoy almost every dish. Every dish I tried I probably could have eaten as a full course. \n\nMany plates of prime rib later, the BBQ section was hands down the best, I made my way to the colorful array of desserts. By this point in the night a lot of the gelato was gone, but I ate a bunch of mochi balls, and a multitude of little plates. \n\nI loved the food. My only criticism has to be the price. Were this buffet 10-5 dollars cheaper it would be the best buffet, hands down, ever, period. I feel like you can get a similar level of quality at the M, but at the end of the day the price (and overall quality of food) is better here at Ceasars. I will have to be a repeat customer. It is just that 2013 was the year of the Bacchanal in vegas. My front desk man at the Riviera told me that they even closed their buffet because of people wanting this high quality expensive option like the Bacchanal. I hope that this trend continues and buffets in vegas all come to this quality. | 1 |
Came here for an advanced movie screening a few months back and all I have to say is ehhh....\n\nAll the employees I encountered were so rude and bored looking. Seriously they all were so lazy and non attentive! First there was the guy at the box office. He was sitting down and slowly and lazily walked over to help us with our tickets.. Then there were the two guys at the concession stand....so lazy and stupid. I had a question they should have been able to answer, forgot what it was, but they just shrugged their shoulders with no response and turned their backs to me and walked away to do nothing. everyone who was trying to purchase popcorn had to get the popcorn scoopers attention because he sure didnt offer to take any popcorn orders.\n\nWorst service at a century theater EVER. | 0 |
We want to thank you for the great massage we had today. The massage my wife and I had was very profesional and both ladies were great! \n\nMy wife said \""Susan did not miss any spot\"" and I was greatfull to have those excellent strong hands from Anna. We were very pleased and would come back every time we are in Las Vegas. \n\nThank you both! | 1 |
What!? I, Cynthia, is writing THEE 1000th review for Studio B Buffet!?!? Oh right on!!! =)\n\nNot much to say except great selection of foods, beer and wine included, delicious, a wide variety of gelato flavors (I always get mint n chips, pistachio, and coconut. yes..in that order.) And did I mention beer and wine is included in the buffet price for all you alcoholics? ;)\n\nWeekday lunch is $15.99. | 1 |
2 TVs in 3 weeks. The first one lasted 2 days, the second one two weeks. The first time I walked in the guy was nice and friendly. When I exchanged the first TV he had a bad attitude. What a waste of money. I guess you get what you pay for. Apparently no refunds only exchanges. So now I'm stuck hauling TVs back and forth every month. Awful experience | 0 |
The girl at the front desk seemed like she was in a bit of a bad mood but we all have those days. \nI was nervous because this is the first time I have really done a full brazilian. Jasmine did a great job of making me feel comfortable. I like that it is locally owned and not a chain. As locals we need to support out locals. \nFor a first time brazilian and lip wax I paid 30.00. Great price! She also said I could come back in five days for a touch up.\nI did find it painful but I was assured it gets easier with time. Certain areas are more painful than others. I should have taken a motrin beforehand! | 1 |
Never going back to the red rock location which sucks because i live so close to it. The town square one is by far a better experience. At this one i ordered the cali roll i was craving for about a month then as they brought my boyfriend his food let me know they couldnt make the cali rolls [swerve] why'd u bring his food then?? Um hello i thought everyone was supposed to get their food the same time.. the chicken lettuce wraps were ok though.. After that kind of disapointment the least they could do is have a restroom that isnt half way across the casino, just wow.. | 0 |
I've only heard positive things about the Chef of Jennifer's. She is a well trained chef and has worked in many very prestigious restaurants. \n\nI came here for restaurant week and whoever prepared the food clearly wasn't Jennifer.\n\nThe best dish of the six we tried was the soup and sammich appetizer. The soup had little taste and seemed like half and half with pureed squash that was decorated nicely. The sandwich was tasty Grilled Brioche Bread that was stuffed with quality cheese, local honey and fresh pears. My husband had Arborio Rice that was still hard and not very creamy or tasty it was very flat and dry.\n\nMy second Course was Patagonia Salmon over a Sunchoke Puree that was getting broken up by a big puddle of oil. The Fish was topped with not so tasty combination of raw tomatoes, and brown chunks of garlic and some fresh basil. The Fish was edible. My husband's Fresh Pasta Dish seemed like boxed spaghetti instead of fresh pasta that was prepared mushy and seemed sort of watery.\n\nAt this point we were checked on and my husband informed the waiter about Hard Arborio Rice and Mushy Pasta. The waiter seemed sorry about that and walked away.\n\nI was hoping that desserts would be redeeming but for me they were the worst part of the meal.\n\nMy favorite dessert is Lemon Meringue Pie so I was hoping the Mason Jar Lemon Meringue would be delicious. The Meringue wasn't Meringue but tasted like that gooey jarred Marshmallow Stuff called \""Fluff\"" It was terrible to me. Nobody goes out for dinner and expects to receive jarred \""Fluff\"".My husband was hoping for an apple Tarte Tatin. You can tell by the photo he didn't receive a Tarte Tatin. I didn't taste his dessert because I was too grossed out by the Marshmallow Fluff I just had but he said the dough was really weird. \n\nMaybe this is a really good sandwich place and not a dinner place? Maybe i hit this place on an off night and it's a possibility you might get a better prepared meal. I don't know.\n\nThis was more disappointing to me than the not so fresh sushi I had last week somewhere.\n\nJennifer needs to taste the food her cook prepares before it's too late.\n\nI will not return. | 0 |
Worst service in Vegas. Avoid it, food took way to long, when it did came out it was exceptionally lame. \n\njust go somewhere else. | 0 |
Awesome food. I went with two other friends and we all loved it. We sat at the floor lounging area and that really added to the awesomeness. Totally recommend it! | 1 |
I'm not a fan...\n\nIt was my birthday and my wife wanted to take us out to a strip club. For whatever reason, we chose Sapphire. \n\nFirstly, there was along wait to get in. We were in line for at least 20 minutes...\n\nNext, it was $66 for the 2 of us to get in the door. As locals, that is ridiculous, but it was my birthday so we spent it.\n\nWe ordered 2 cocktails, $34 for both (for well drinks), not including tip.\n\nThe most disappointing thing about this club, the strippers were pretty hefty. I mean, for the price we paid, I expected some good looking women. Most of these girls were overweight, snobby and not attractive at all.\n\nMy wife and I are good looking people, so we were hoping to surround ourselves with other sexy people.\n\nLot's of single men, and a couple ladies. There were a lot of strippers, but again, they were haggard looking...\n\nAlso, there was nowhere to sit. We stood for the first 30 minutes sipping our watered down and way overpriced drinks, before we found 2 seats that were not \""reserved\"".\n\nIf you're looking for a fun strip club with sexy women, this doesn't seem like the place to go.\n\nSave yourself $100 and go somewhere else. The cover should be free for locals (or cheap), especially on someones birthday...\n\nLame club, lame women, overpriced and over-hyped. | 0 |
Such a great deli! I love this place and can't wait til I visit again to have their shake for breakfast! All my favorite things...chocolate, banana and peanut butter...YUM! And their breakfast sandwiches are DELISH! Such a fitting name. They even have a drive thru! Man, I wish they had one in CO | 1 |
We partied here 07/22/12. This was my third go @ Rehab. \n\nNot much I can add to my initial review except for that it's as good as I remembered it the first two times I was here.\n\nWe had a group of 6 guys and 3 girls and got a couch by the stage area where Sean Paul performed. Our server was great. Updated us on the tab every couple hours and was friendly and personable when providing service. Once again, Rehab didn't disappoint. \n\nIn the last 4 years I have attended all of the pool parties at all the major hotels. The only other party that came close was F**K me I'm Famous @ Wet. Encore is becoming too stuffy and people are more concerned about not getting their hair wet, than having a good time. I'm all about looking impressive at the pool, but not at the expense of having fun! Water splashing, people dancing, and they even have a water slide!!! I am more into the atmosphere, fun people, dancing crowds, strong drinks and an overall amazing time. Rehab has been the only pool consistently delivering a great party. It's what Sunday funday is all about. Get here! | 1 |
Didn't explore much of the park but the dog park was pretty awful. I live in the NW , maybe they just have better parks that im used to... Park wasn't very large, there was only one water station for the dogs and u had to exist the gate to use it, so put ur dog back on a collar and walk them out. Same with the poop bags, there was only one bag station which was also outside the gate and the worst part... It was all dirt! No grass! I'm thankful for living in las Vegas over Clark County with what seems like a better park system..... | 0 |
Can honestly say I was surprised big time! Driven by a number of times and never once thought to stop. Thanks to Yelp and getting out of work late, decided to stop in and get some takeout.\nWas a bit skeptical when we pulled up as the place is pretty dull and there were zero cars in front. Almost thought they were closed. Walked in and it is a nice size place with very outdated furniture and decor. Only one couple was sat down to eat (at almost 7pm that was a bit worrisome to me). They had a nice menu with your typical Thai fare. Pricing was about average for Thai food, a bit pricey to me for the look of the place. I wasn't feeling very bold, so I stuck to the basics and ordered chicken fried rice (one of my favorite dishes and a good judge for me of whether the place is worth coming back to). Kacey ordered the Chicken Pad See-Eew. At $9 for each dish, it was a pretty decent size portion.\nMy fried rice was one of the best I've had in Vegas, especially once I added a little bit of soy sauce. Wow! I ate the entire portion and was still craving more. I did wish it had a bit more chicken, but that may just be me being greedy. Kacey seemed to really enjoy her dish as well and had no complaints.\nNeeds major updating in the restaurant and I honestly am not sure how they stay in business if they only had once couple in that big restaurant during dinner hours. But they gained a new customer and we will be back soon to try more! Will stick to take-out though as I don't think I would enjoy my meal sitting in that dining room. | 1 |
Great smoked meat sandwich - had the 10 oz version. Ask for juicy/moist as the sandwich is crazy juicy then. I upgraded fries to poutine. Was ok but not stellar. Fries were typical fast food and not high end blanched nor double fried. Service was fast and friendly. | 1 |
Been here a few times and the Sushi is fresh and amazing!. My husband had the spicy yellowtail roll and I had the Las Vegas roll. Both were very good. Saki bombs. YUM! The beef bulgogi is also very good. Gyoza appetizer is Yummy! Love the decor in this place. Its calming. TV's inside. Nice big bar as you walk in. On my visits the staff was always friendly and service was good. \n\nThe only downer is ordering take-out on the phone from this place. (which Ive also done) Just a heads up; You really need to know exactly what you want before ordering and make sure you go over the order with them before heading down there. or better yet, just go in and sit down and eat.. :) | 1 |
I did a driveby of this place earlier in the day, and did some research. I heard it closed at 8pm, and was told they have Chihuly glass on display. That is all I needed to hear.\n\nParking was free, and was plenty of it- I managed to get a front row spot! We got there around 5:30 pm, thinking there would be plenty of time to see everything...\n\nWell I was wrong! It started to get dark around 6:30, and for that, I missed out on about 2-3 trails- that sucked because I wanted to see everything... Hopefully since it is daylight savings now, you can enjoy the gardens now at a later time...\n\nThe parts that I did see were fascinating, although at parts it did get kind of boring (we started from the left and worked our way around). I was told there was even a concery there for the evening- which sounded cool- but I wanted to explore, having never been there.\n\nI would like to go back and see what the entire garden has to offer, since the desert portion at the Atlanta Botanical Garden just doesn't do it justice.\n\nI think it is cool how it is next to the zoo (which I didn't get to visit), and two parks. | 1 |
I have taken 3 classes so far, Meg's 5:30pm Monday Class, and an All Levels class with Ellen. \n\nMeg is amazing, you feel it the second she walks through the door, her Basics class is wonderful, the poses are held long enough to really feel them and get them, she helps everyone and a lot, constantly explaining how to work the pose, deepen it or modify it. She is wonderful and I would not want to replace this class no matter how good I got!\n\nI did Ellen's 10:15am Saturday class and was challenged! The poses are still held but flow quicker from one to another. She is constantly explaining how to work the pose, and is walking around and correcting, helping and bringing her energy and enthusiasm to all corners of the room. I found it more challenging in a different way and thoroughly enjoyed it!! She is a joyful and enthusiastic teacher.\n\nI find Desert Song a wonderful, intimate and nurturing environment and I am absolutely going to continue going there. It is also 5 minutes from my house......which is yet again another huge plus!!! | 1 |
Omg!wish I could give negative stars! Literally everyone who was in that restaurant just now looked just as pissed as me.thE food took FOREVER!!! From what my family got I mean...it was decent. ..just cuz I was starving....but I ordered a burger...I wish I could have an opinion about it but I never got it!!! The girl completely forgot and just said ohh sorry I thought I forgot something. they did nothing to.fix it! The food was fine but I would never come back due to the lack of attentiveness, horrific service and not to mention when I asked about the menu she had no clue..I'm done | 0 |
I attended the mothers day brunch here as part of Vegas Uncorked 09'. It was hands down one of the best meals I have ever had. I find myself daydreaming about it constantly. All of the food was served family style and was absolutely amazing. I really enjoyed every single dish that was served but the dishes that stood out the most to me were the pork belly and wagyu skirt steak. DROOL!The service was top notch. The waiters kept the unlimited champagne and mimosas flowing. And they were happy to get us additional servings of the dishes if we wanted more. My table went through a lot of the pork belly. It was awesome to see Tom Colicchio and get an autographed cookbook that included recipes of some of the items we ate that day. I definitely recommend this place and can not wait to go back! | 1 |
I've been to Rinaldi's several times now. To me, it's one of those places that after the first bite, I get annoyed at myself for not remembering how disappointing it was the last time and wonder why I'm back.\n\nLet's cut to the chase. This place in essence is really no different than the deli counter at the low end food store down the street from wherever it is you live - and let's be honest, places like Safeway make a point of a good deli counter and put this place to shame - all at a lower cost.\n\nDon't be fooled by the quintessential \""New York\"" decor on the walls such as a photo of downtown NYC and a poster of Italian movie mobsters. I lived in New York and this is not a real NY deli. This place wouldn't make it through opening weekend.\n\n2 slices of deli meat on a thin bed of shredded lettuce, and a layer of mayo on a crumbly hoagie roll does not transport me back to Mulberry St. \n\nThe two stars are awarded to their breakfast burritos. It's pretty hard to mess up eggs. | 0 |
Yummy food and great service. We went for lunch and I'm so glad we did. Everything was fresh, tasty and the perfect amount of spice. I will be returning on my sub sequential visits to Las Vegas. | 1 |
I walked in and it felt like the help all knew everyone there. The bar area was full and there was just 2-3 tables open. The tables are close together, so you feel like you're sitting with the person at the next table, but that was ok.\n\nThe chips were warm, but cooled off quickly. The dip wasn't too hot and it was a good combination while I waited for my 'Tee Pee Daily Special'.\n\nThe special was a tostada, taco and enchilada with rice and beans. All tasted good. \n\nThe food was good, the atmosphere was better and the help was wonderful. Now it's 2 hours later and I'm still full. If you want to see pictures, check out my blog at pmonahan.tumblr.com. | 1 |
I had gone here once before, long time ago, and it did not make a huge impression. Then I was invited by a friend to go again and loved what I ordered. The BBQ beef strips...very good...and I am a fan of the Macaroni Salad. I will be going back for some BBQ beef and rice...very good...could not stop chowing down. | 1 |
I go in to get my girlfriend a large bowl of chicken noodle soup and i receive the smallest cup ive ever seen in my life. Of course it wasn't opened up and presented to me while I was there... It was plastic bagged and knotted... After I get home... 45 seconds later since i live right behind the place i open it up and its not even hot. I can stick my finger inside and leave it there without even the slightest burn... I call them to ask why this wouldn't even be an appetizer for my 6 year old daughter let alone my adult GF... And he says thats the biggest size they have... This is insane! It's smaller then 1 cup. I could literally pour this tiny thing into a 1 serving size measuring cup... Kyle the bartender says basically, \""next time you come in ill buy you a couple beers.\"" Fuck that.. My girlfriend is sick, and wants a decent size BOWL OF SOUP! Never come to this place! And to top of off, i also asked for some garlic bread... Which they didnt have, but they gave me some breadsticks... And charged me a buck for each one... And this thing is smaller then an Asians dick! Wtf is this shit? I also asked for NO ONIONS on a side salad... Which by the way actually looks good... But there is onions all over it... Big nasty red onions that I'm allergic too... Thanks Kyle! Appreciate wasting 30 minutes sitting inside waiting for this mess of a dinner that your cook tried to give to me to eat at the place when you put on the ticket that its a TO GO order! | 0 |
Good food, clean, friendly , medium wait time. Good semi quiet atmosphere. Can't go wrong here. !! | 1 |
I've been to this Sam Woo several times in the past and it was alright, but when I went last week, it was NASTY. The quality has definitely gone way down. The crab soup was bland. The beef chow fun was too salty from being drenched in soy sauce. The fried rice and chow mein was okay but not that good. We also had a mushroom claypot dish that was actually decent and it was the only dish that was hot. We had a lot of leftover food and I was not full because I didn't like the food.\n\nThis place is dirty and the service is slow. My teacup had a crack in it which made my tea leak. Their highchairs were filthy.\n\nThis place is ridiculously overpriced.\n\nThis place doesn't deserve to be called Sam Woo because they make the chain look bad.\n\nOh, and it is cash only. | 0 |
This place rocks. The real deal. Late night menu is a real treat. Superb mixologists at the bar. Mind blowing cocktails. High quality food that's fresh and scrumptious. I love going here prior to partying in Old Town Scottsdale. Very sexy establishment. | 1 |
Out of all of the Flo's locations, this is the one I've frequented the most over the past 3 years of living in the Valley. I've seen the menu change here and there, but I have to say, I've never had a bad meal at Flo's.\n\nI met my friend Melanie H for dinner this evening and we really enjoyed our meal... we had great service - our waters stayed filled throughout the time we were there, and our food was served promptly. Our server checked on us several times as well. We started with vegetable pot stickers and requested that they come steamed. They were delicious! Next, we shared 'Indian Curry Vegetables' (I ordered it with shrimp) and Indian Vindaloo Chicken. Both were extremely tasty - fresh veggies, chicken, and shrimp in really flavorful sauces with just the right amount of spice. The curry vegetable dish came with broccoli, mushrooms, carrots, snow peas, and long beans. The chicken dish had tomatoes and onions. We also had steamed white rice.\n\nNote to Flo: We were both disappointed that you took the Vietnamese Spring Rolls off of the menu and I miss the days of the green curry dish with calamari. One more thing - the chicken corn soup that you serve at the DC Ranch location should be offered at the others as well - I love that soup!\n\nFortune cookies came along with the check and we both were happy with our fortunes. The bill didn't break the bank either. See you again soon, Flo! | 1 |
Very unhappy with this place. Spent over $50 on dinner for self, hubby and two sons (19) and (22). After dinner, went into bar area to shoot a game of pool and were asked to leave because my younger son wasn't 21. I find this ridiculous since Arizona law says servers must be 19 to serve alcohol. We were there as a family, weren't drinking and just wanted to have a fun family night. I won't be spending my money here any more. | 0 |
The cast is talented. Female dancer are great! \n\nComics were really bad though....seemed very PG humor and outdated jokes to me. Absinthe is much more clever and hilarious. \n\nSome of the acts are very nice, such as the girls in the fish bowl. \n\nI liked the whip girls and the dancer with long hair. I felt the costumes need updating though. They are pretty cheap looking compared to other cirque shows. | 0 |
I actually went there on a Groupon special for an oil change. \n\nI asked them if they could do it in 30 mins and they did.\n\nThe reception guy was very pleasant.\n\nThe waiting room is very clean. \n\nI will definitely be back | 1 |
For what I'm paying for, I was hoping to get some work done in the hotel. But the internet speed is so slow (eg. 100 Kbps dial up speed), for most of the time, I'm just waiting there for the file transfers to/from work. Room is decent sized and clean. | 0 |
The smoothie was good but the service was very sub par. \n\nI asked the lady if they served food and without saying a word she pointed to the protein bars. \n\nI then decided to order a fruit smoothie and asked what an acai was. She said its a fruit and then total silence. No kidding. | 0 |
Wish I could give zero stars. I've had them work on three of my vehicles. Everytime they mess up something else and I have to take it back. Before the last time, I dealt with it because they were convenient and the things they messed up weren't devastating (like the kick plate or door panel falling off). This last time they broke the axel and sheered the transmission line. When we called them up on the day we picked it up to tell them something wasn't right, they said not to worry about it and bring it in 4 days later. We then called the next day because the leak was pretty bad and they said again to not worry about it but bring it in 6 days later (they rescheduled our 4 day later appt). The car stopped running two days later as we found out the sheered transmission line caused all the fluid to leak out possibly damaging the transmission. This would be the second transmission that they broke for us.\n\nThis time, however, they refused to take responsibility and wanted to charge us $1200 to fix the axel they broke and the transmission line they broke. They also wanted to blame us for lack of maintenance if the transmission was damaged (wanted me to sign a statement to that effect which I refused to do).\n\nI'm not certain they are crooks because I think it completely possible they are just incompetent. In either case, we felt the need to tow our car from their facility straight to Japanese Auto Care after they had \""fixed\"" the axel and transmission. When I told them that I refused to pay the $1200, the manager yelled at me (even cussing at me) and told me that he was going to fix the axel and transmission line but he would do nothing for the transmission if it has problems. He said if I didn't pay the $1200 then we were done as a customer and I was not welcome to bring my car there. He said \""I don't need your business as I've got too much already.\""\n\nIn short, the only thing good about this place is the convenience for people living in anthem. If you have enough money to pay them over and over again for the things they continually break, then the convenience might be worth it.\n\nExcept, its been over a week since I actually got my car back so even the convenience isn't worth it anymore. | 0 |
I came into this charming little establishment with a friend. We were sat pretty promptly and had drink orders taken. I had the iced green tea and she had water which was garnished with a slice of cucumber. I thought that was a nice touch. \n\nWe both started with spring rolls - she had the salmon, I had the barbecue pork. Both looked good and mine was tasty. Then we had both had a bowl of chicken pho. It was really tasty, however expensive for pho at $10/bowl.\n\nThat said, the food was good. Not the best Vietnamese food I've ever had, but yummy just the same. \n\nMy only gripes were the little things. I've worked in the back of the house for a long time. So I know how much it costs to put this food together. I just felt like everything was expensive for what it was. This is not a high end restaurant. Its a teensy little hipsterish Vietnamese place with minimal decor. Its a lunch spot essentially. My menu was printed on paper which is pretty commonplace these days so no big whoop. Unfortunately the menu looked like it had been used about 50 times. I understand re-using menus. Its totally common. To NOT do so would be environmentally irresponsible. It just looked really, really used and abused. Also, my dipping sauce ramekin had a huge chip in it. To be fair, I am hyper critical of EVERYTHING when it comes to service just because I come from a restaurant background. \n\nRice Paper gets 3 stars from me. It was eh... Luckily I had good company. I probably won't come here again though. | 0 |
I know why the people behind Big Daddy's BBQ (the Maestro group, formerly of Maestro's Steak House and the Ocean Club) named it that. It's because they see hundreds of baby Big Daddy franchises spinning off this papa. And, sadly, they're probably right. This is BBQ for the unadventurous, for those who don't appreciate the glorious idiosyncrasies of the genre. As Olive Garden is to Italian, and Red Lobster to seafood, Big Daddy's is to BBQ.\n\n Located on the west side of the Pima Crossing Shopping on Shea Blvd. at the 101, you'll have to walk a ways after you've parked. The ambiance is kind of fun. There's a big mural of the Budweiser wagon on a brick side-wall. Several garage doors open to the picnic-tabled patio, and there are more picnic tables with umbrellas inside, as well as stainless steel topped tables. Paper towels are on each table as well as a rib bucket. I get the feeling the bucket is strictly for show and an alarm would go off if anyone dared to dirty one. As you enter you'll see the menu on the wall. No selection is over $20. Decide what you want and proceed to the counter to order. Then you pay and will be given one of those annoying vibrating, flashing light things that let you know it's time to pick up your order. It will be ready surprisingly quickly. This is a VERY bad thing at a BBQ restaurant.\n\n Ken and I shared a 3 meat combo (the menu on line says $13.95, but I think we paid more) with 2 sides and a piece of cornbread. The most exciting thing on the list of sides was creamed corn, which we ordered, along with coleslaw. Our platter contained one beef rib, three pork ribs, and about 5 slices of brisket which had a small amount of BBQ sauce on top. There is more sauce available on the counter with the drink machine, but there's no selection - it's the only one. Neither spicy nor sweet - just blah. All the meats were quite dry, and somehow they all tasted the same. We were wishing for a pepper shaker when we tried the coleslaw. It was totally bland, as was the creamed corn, which had a bizarrely large amount of flavorless white sauce to canned corn kernels. Ken thought the best thing on the platter was the onion slice. I thought the corn bread won out - it was moist and slightly sweet.\n\n As we headed home, the farther away from Big Daddy's we drove, the more dissatisfied with our meal we became. When we reached Scottsdale Rd., before I could ask him to do it, Ken took a right and headed toward Chocolate Star Bakery. We were in desperate need of a happy ending to truly ungratifying experience. The most positive thing I can say is that it's a whole lot better than Dickeys, the nadir of BBQ restaurants. | 0 |
Screw Subway's \""Februany\"" Footlong for Five Dollars. Come to Le's and get a delicious Vietnamese footlong for only $3.50. You can get one slightly smaller for only $3.\n\nThis place is truly a hole in the wall. Le's is tucked away inside a Chinese strip mall that has a parking lot with more potholes than parking spots. Le's is so obscure, I couldn't even see a sign for it on the outside of the strip mall. It was only once I explored around inside the \""Chinese Food Court\"" that I found it.\n\nThe sandwiches are legit. Well seasoned pork, nicely cooked vegetables, a crispy soft warm baguette, and super cheap!\n\n\nAnd if you want, you can pick up a cuttlefish for the road, which they neatly sell packaged in zip-lock bags. I love it. | 1 |
Went there for lunch with 5 coworkers. Nobody liked the food and the atmosphere was horrible. Sat under a TV blaring Chinese news at a table with an off kilter lazy susan that pushed our dishes into our laps. \nThe staff had to be flagged down several times - to bring forks, to fill water, to ask for the check, etc...\nI had the orange chicken which was overly wangy with a cloying citrus sauce and large chunks of orange peel that I accidentally chewed on (and spit out) a couple times. yuck.\n10 bucks (including tax and tip) for chicken, white rice, diet coke, and a headache.\nNot going back. | 0 |
I have to be honest; Tsom really reminded me of college cafeteria food. Based on that assessment, it seems they are in a good location being close to ASU, but as a non-college student, I was incredibly underwhelmed. \n\nWhile I think the idea of a salad bar is cool, especially when it is all veggie and filled with a variety of things like hummus and bean salads, the actual meals like pasta and falaffel are pretty uneventful.\n\nSorry Tsom, I don't plan on coming back. | 0 |
Came in for a cut/color/highlight (what an amazing Groupon!) and was paired with Marie. She was running a few minutes behind, but was so apologetic and definitely spent quality time on my hair. I've had a lot of haircuts, and been to a lot of salons, and this was definitely a memorable experience. Marie did a fantastic job: I love my new hair! The salon is small and quaint, and the prices are incredible! I got 50% off for my next visit. I will be back! | 1 |
I hadn't eaten here since March, when I wrote my last one-star review.\n\nI had hoped that half a year would change things for the better at this location (after all, it was still in business) but I was wrong.\n\nHere's a blow-by-blow:\n\nMy party and I walked in and waited by the podium. No one was manning it, and no one was in line- the restaurant wasn't even busy. About five minutes later, someone finally noticed us, came over, and seated us.\n\nAfter we had been sitting for close to ten minutes, a waitress finally stopped by and took our drink orders.\n\nTen minutes later, the waitress walked by again, still without our drinks. She stopped short, looked over at us, said \""Oops,\"" and scurried away. Another two minutes later, she came back with the drinks (apologizing that she had forgotten about us) and took our food orders.\n\nThe food was basic breakfast stuff, but it took nearly 30 minutes for it to come out of the kitchen. That's not too bad of a delay in and of itself, but on top of the long delays we'd had so far, it was aggravating.\n\nThe food wasn't as plainly BAD as I remember it being half a year ago, but there was one major error:\n\nI ordered a vegetarian omelet, but there was a chunk of bacon in it. Not a whole strip or anything, but a segment about a half-inch long that was clearly bacon. I guess it got mixed into my food on the grill by accident, left over from a previous order or something. Luckily, I'm not Jewish/Muslim/etc, so I didn't have any religious reasons to exclude the pork from my diet, but frankly, the restaurant dodged a bullet there, mixing pork into a dish that was explicitly listed as vegetarian. You'd think a restaurant would know how much of a Big Deal it is to be careful to keep pork out of non-pork dishes, especially considering that Pittsburgh has an enormous Jewish community.\n\nAll in all, it took us about an hour just to get a simple breakfast, and the service (both tableside and in the kitchen) was clearly awful. Again, the restaurant wasn't even crowded... There's simply no excuse for providing service that bad.\n\nADDENDUM: January 1st, 2011\n\nI was talking to my father, and he mentioned that he had stopped in at this Eat 'n Park for breakfast a few weeks ago on his way to work. He said he couldn't believe how bad it was. I agreed and told him that I'd only gone to this location twice in 2010, and it was terrible both times, so I'd decided not to go back. | 0 |
Dinner after our movie date night! It was a clean setup and friendly service. We got seats in a timely manner. Our waitress was funny and gave great dessert suggestions so I truly appreciated that.\n\nI wasn't too happy at the end of the meal when I saw the bill. Not because I was charged for something I didn't get but because for the amount we paid we could've gotten the French market buffet next door all day pass. I got ribs and lobster so the prices seemed appropriate. However, after it was time to pay one tends to correlate the price you pay to the satisfaction one feels. And I didn't feel fully satisfied. The food was good but not $60 good. The only thing I really enjoyed was the Oreo ice cream pie dessert. If it hadn't been for that I would've probably given a 1 star review. Also like I said, my server was nice so luckily for TGIF it was fine there too.\n\nBut from now on I will probably go there just for that dessert, nothing else there is worth that kind of money. | 0 |
I felt very compelled to write an update and give stingray an extra star! So I went against my own advice... I came here on a friday, after five, during happy hour, with a stroller. But, I couldn't help myself! We were in the area and I was so hungry. \n\nAnyways, we walk in and it's packed inside and we feel like a nuisance coming in with our 8 month old! The hostess tries to figure out how to fit us inside since it was so hot outside and the manager comes and decides that they can get us a highchair, sit us at the sushi bar, and have us park our stroller by the door. This was the first time we've ever been offered a highchair! And I was happy that they didn't think the stroller by the door was an eye sore. I REALLY appreciated the manager trying to accommodate us quickly. We've definitely been in situations where even the management gives us dirty looks for bringing a baby to the establishment. But hey! We are young parents who like bringing our little dude out with us :)\n\nWe get seated and our server and the manager we're super nice the whole time. He often came over to check on us and refill our water glasses. This was the best service we've ever experienced at this location. So I just wanted to say.. I know Stingray is a trendy place catering to good looking singles during happy hour, but thank you for being so accommodating to this family :) | 1 |
Saturday morning alcohol fix. \n\nI'm not a big drinker, but this refreshing slushie drink on a 105 degree day definitely hit the spot.\n\nProbably not the smartest start to my morning, but fruity, perfectly slushed, cold and without the taste of too much alcohol, couldn't really complain at the moment. \n\nI got the superman and shared the $14 one with my friend. We couldn't even finish it. For LV, i'd say it's a pretty good deal | 1 |
I live in Las Vegas and go to shows all the time. I use Vegastickets.com for everything as they are very fair and upfront with costs; they don't hide any charges from users. I highly recommend, very friendly staff!! | 1 |
This place is awesome. So much fun to have here posing with the incredibly life like figures. Check out the 4D show downstairs by the marvel comics section. AMAZING!!! | 1 |
Loved it. Michael Jackson One Cirque Du Soleil is part concert, part circus, and part MJ tribute. \n\nThe show does a good job of highlighting the versatility and evolution of MJ throughout his career, showing the true artist he was. The dancers, circus performers and special effects are great. There are mood changes as they play with your emotions and (spoiler alert!) the avatar appearance of MJ at the end is mesmerizing.\n\nIf you're an MJ fan, see this show! It was a fun trip down memory lane, and made me wish I was a back-up dancer. | 1 |
Delicious sandwiches! Go for the Pastrami Reuben!!! That one is absolutely the best one of the ones we tried (and we ate here twice in two days!) Cheap and quick meal and very convenient if you are staying in the Venezia Tower. Go here for those in between meals and snacks between gambling, clubbing and eating at the fancier spots! | 1 |
A couple of times when I've scanned my players card at a kiosk at the Palms, out came a coupon for some offer at Chocolat. One time I looked in the food court and it wasn't there so I had no idea where in the Palms this place might be.\n\nYesterday I parked in the east garage and as I was walking in the casino, I happened to glance to the hotel registration area and just to the right was Chocolat! Mystery solved. It does exist.\n\nAfter playing for awhile, I decided to walk over and check it out. I'm glad I did. I wasn't in the mood for flatbread or a cr\u00e8pe but the thought of gelato on an upper 90 degree day was enticing. I saw on their board that they had Nutella gelato. Well, they do and they don't. It's one of their flavors but only in a rotating fashion and it wasn't one of the flavors yesterday. A medium cup allows two scoops so I got one scoop of Oreo cookie and one scoop of macadamia nut. Both were good but the macadamia nut was better.\n\nThe woman at the counter was very pleasant. I took the gelato and sat at one of their small tables just outside the entrance. Now that I know where Chocolat is, I'll check my offers at the kiosk and probably I'll be back for more. The flat bread looked very interesting.\n\nThe only complaint I have is those damn little spoons they give you with gelato. Give me a man sized spoon. next time I go, I'll slip a plastic spoon from one of the yogurt places in my pocket and I'll be able to eat the gelato in a less genteel but more satisfying way! | 1 |
I saw this place on the My Fab5 Charlotte Instagram account and decided to try lunch with a friend. There isn't much in the University area aside from chain restaurants so I thought this would be a welcomed addition. As other's have noted the menu is somewhat limited. I'm not a big pizza fan aside from the good ol favorite pizza hut so that only left panini's and pasta dishes. We started off with an appetizer of mozzarella sticks, they actually were 3 huge triangles of fried mozzarella, which were pretty good. Then I had the Tuscan Panini with fries. This sandwich was great especially the pesto aioli sauce. My friend had the Caprese chicken Panini and she enjoyed her sandwich was well. We arrived around 12:30pm and the restaurant as kinda empty, not sure when they opened but maybe they just need to drum up more business. I do think they should expand their pasta menu to include a lemon butter sauce. If a restaurant does not include a lemon butter or a very light sauce I usually skip right past the pasta section . I think as time goes on they will pick up business, it's right beside Chilli's and Cheddars so I'm sure people are starting to notice. They may need to work on their advertising because I wasn't exactly sure what type of restaurant it was but I 'm glad I came in. Overall the service was great and the food was good I would come back to eat again. \n\n\nA staff member stopped by to tell us about the DJ they have on Saturday nights . I believe he used to dj at Bull and Barrister and apparently it turns into more of a lounge atmosphere at night. I may go back later in the evening to check this out one night. | 1 |
Formerly known as Prive, I thought the name change would change the vibe of the club, WRONG! \n\nCramped, cramped, cramped! The layout of the club is horrible. You really feel like you're crawling all over people. \n\nMaybe 3rd time will be a charm... or maybe not. | 0 |
