First time since it opened some 9 years ago. Meant to stop in and try the cake but I got side tracked. I gave them 4 stars because of price. $20.00 for a 9\"" Bunt cake is just a little high. I could see the price around $12.00 to &16.00 for a 9\"" cake and that would be a high price but the quality is very good. When I walked in I was greeted by Stephine, she was helpful and offered me a sample. I ended up getting the White Chocoholic Raspberry cake. Very moist and flavorful. I will be back soon. | 1 |
Delicious food, and pretty awesome place.\n\nThe staff is friendly enough, and the manager is always checking up on his guests. Very nice place, I'd recommend it.\n\nI think my face is starting to be recognizable there. | 1 |
Love this location great for picking up a quick 6 pack and hitting the strip or head over to Ellis island for the rib and chicken combo. | 1 |
Went there with some friends. Our Chinese friend ordered from the Chinese menu but the American menu with the pictures also looks good. She didn't know about the Chinese menu (I told her!), she always orders from the American menu and was quite satisfied. The inside looks clean, not really your regular looking Chinese restaurant. Service is a bit slow like some people remarked. They could be a little bit more \""friendly\"". Food was very good, very hot. I will go back at lunch or with some family. \n\nMy Chinese friend said it was very popular with Chinese people, we went on a saturday night at 5pm, it wasn't completely full but by the time we left, customers were showing up. | 1 |
Had lunch there today with my wife. Two hours after we finished my wife was cramping up and needed a couple of trips to the bathroom. She had the Pollo Caprese which she always has when we visit. The food tasted fine while we were eating it. I had no problems with my meal. Just out of curiosity I googled \""Arizona Restaurant Inspections.\"" Well, you will be unpleasantly surprised with the last few write ups. They are ugly!!! So be careful eating there and good luck if you do. | 0 |
The food is great if you can stand the bad service. Sat at bar, ask waitress to ask mgr to change one of the three TV's to my football game because two TV's were playing same game. He said NO! The games playing were requested. Five minutes later he turned the TV to a baseball game that was requested after my request. We came to watch our game and eat and drink. We won't be back! | 0 |
All this place needs is a few tables, a tequila bar and free gas and I'd move right in. The red chile burrito? Squeeze me? Heaven wrapped in a flour tortillas mis amigos. Rickie says it's the closest he's found to San Antonio style burritos. And. Well. If I can bring home a burrito that satisfies my man and reminds him of home....well, let's just say O Freakin Lay Baby! And by lay, I mean, well, tu sabes loco, tu sabes!!! \n\nSo...\n\nBurritos from Chevron + Thomas + Rickie = noise complaints from our neighbors. \n\nAdios, bye bye y hasta la pasta! | 1 |
This place has a monopoly on high profile stand up comedy in the valley, and they know it. They use that monopoly to their advantage with abusive policies (to the customer) and bad service. Their policies are total crap. \n\nWe recently bought some tickets to a 7PM show and when we found out that we couldn't attend that show, we called and tried to get our tickets swapped to the 9:45PM show. After emailing and calling multiple times (and leaving voicemails), I finally got someone on the line. They went on and on about how there are no refunds or transfers whatsoever, but then they went on to say that they could check with their supervisor to see if we could exchange our tickets for the 9:45PM show. The person got back to me and said, yes, we could exchange our tickets to the later show, but there would be a $5 transfer charge per ticket. I asked him how they could have a transfer fee if their policy doesn't even allow transfers/exchanges? He couldn't answer that one, of course. We opted to do the exchange and attended the show.\n\nOnce you get there, you'll note that the place is extremely packed with chairs. They sardine as many people as possible into the venue. Many of the seats and arrangements are uncomfortable in my opinion. Once you are wedged into your seat, you are then reminded that they \""require\"" that you purchase 2 drinks during your stay, at highly inflated prices, of course. They don't have hot tea as a beverage option any more (they used to) and I hear the iced tea is $10 a glass. In addition, gratuity is automatically added to your bill, so even if your service is bad, your server gets a tip anyway!\n\nI love stand up comedy, but I despise this place. I won't be attending their shows and dealing with their heavy handed, turnip squeezing tactics. | 0 |
Ok, if you have no other options. \n\nI work graveyard, and this is one of the only places that delivers near me overnight. Their pizza is ok, NY style. But, aside from their pizza, I'd advise to stay away. I don't think there's a single fresh ingredient anywhere to be found. That includes their meat/chicken. It's not too hard to throw a chicken breast on a flat grill, but this place insists on using pre-cooked chicken on it's items.. And you can really tell. All of their appetizers are frozen, and fried.\n\nIf this is your last ditch resort, then go ahead.. But if you have other options, exercise them! | 0 |
I always drive by this place on my way home from work, so decided to stop by. Ordered the double bacon burger combo with shoe strong fries, and it was completely impressed. First the burger, the meat was tender, and the lettuce, tomato and pickles were all fresh, a pretty good feat considering I went there 20 minutes before closing. The burger meat was pressed thin and cooked perfectly, and had great flavor. The fries were shoestring, cooked nice and crisp and salted to perfection. I can't wait to go back and order another burger, but next time, I'll try some custard too. | 1 |
I saw Puscifer here a few months ago.\n\nTop 5 venues I've been to in the U.S.\n\nWhat can I say? This place was amazing. The sound, ambiance and even the security guards were top notch. | 1 |
I really do love going to Starbucks and this one is RIGHT by my house. YEAH! It's usually busy, but the line goes fast. The ONLY complaint I've had about this one are the vagrants that hang around from time to time. They aren't always there, but when they are, it stands out in your head. | 1 |
Every time my partner and I visit Vegas, our Vegas girlfriends take us out to dine at local culinary gems. Elements Kitchen and Martini Bar is one of those places. The hospitality we received is the kind that keeps me coming back for more.\n\nThe martini list is long and awesome. I wanted to try all of them but my favorite that night was a banana flavored one. DELICIOUS!!! Yes I had two. Adult Candy.\n\nOur entrees were delectable.\nDessert was over the top. We got to sample pretty much everything on the dessert menu.\n\nIt was such a nice evening. I can't wait to get back to Vegas and return to Elements. | 1 |
Shit service. One guy running the place that was cooking, taking drink orders, serving, washing dishes...etc. The food was not that good IMO. | 0 |
Good cuisine give me a chance for new experience!\nThere is a saying that a good meal may give one a chance to taste her past and welcome the future. I chose this French restaurant to finish my \""past and future\"" thinking, they did a pretty good job with the food and service and I really have a good time.\nBut I think people may agree that one will become more sensitive when she is asked about was she eating alone when she is exactly eating alone; and more sensitive when she is asked about \""is that price ok with you\"" after she totally read and understood what was the menu trying to told the customers. \nA better service may be giving a proper silence on certain issues. | 1 |
This place is as good as it gets.\nThe have several boutiques and enough chic and shabby furniture to ooo and ahhh at. \n\nThe store is pretty clean and the staff was all very nice. It is definitely one of my favorite places to go. \n\nThey have a lot of really neat furniture some all the way back to early 1800's \n\nIT is literally my girlfriends dream come true. She couldn't get enough and was so excited to take her mom and all her sisters. | 1 |
Great spot for beer lovers. First-rate staff in a dingy dive bar, serving up superb brew. Throw in a few rotating taps, some old-school shuffle board and a kick-ass playlist... well my friends, you got a damn good taphouse on your hands.\n\nEasily a five star stop if it suddenly became non-smoking. Go. | 1 |
This is probably the best Chinese food we have found in the University area. It's pretty inexpensive, everything is always good, the service is fast and it's in a convenient location. They have half price sushi some days and a pretty cheap Sunday buffet. \n\nTheir online ordering system is awesome. You can customize your meals and pay in the store when you pick it up. It is ready in no time. | 1 |
I have practiced yoga for over 20 years, all over the world. My last 9+ years have been mainly Bikram style (heated room, same 26 asanas and 2 breathing in same order every time, etc). My review is based on one visit, in which I was fortunate enough to be taught by the creator of Sumits Yoga, Sumit Banerjee.\n\nKeep in mind that this is an 80 minute class in a 104/5 degree heated room. It is not laying around on pillows. That being said, there was an old (at least 70!) year old man next to me for most of the class (he did leave early). Most of the folks were in the 20-50ish range, but I think that anyone could do this class if they are in good health (or at least check with their doc) and take it EASY to get used to the heat. \n\nYou will sweat. A lot. A very very very lot.\n\n+ 1 Star - Cleanliness. I have a thing about sweaty/hot yoga - I love it, but the smell still, after all this time, makes me queasy. So how nice it was to be at a studio with little to no stink. Wood floors in the practice room helped. Staff seemed very conscious about cleaning up quite often (steamed windows were wiped, drips on floor were mopped etc)\n+ 1 Star - Showers. It is important to me in practicing hot yoga that there are showers for after. Granted, there are only two in the ladies (and I would assume 2 in the man's) but that is better than many and, from my experience, The average amount. You need to BYOT (towel) as they have no towel rental (!!!??!) available.\n+ 1 Star - Big changing room for ladies. I can't speak for the fellas, but there was plenty room for all us gals to do our thing. I am usually frustrated at whacking elbows with my fellow yoginis both before and after class so this was a nice, welcome change.\n+ 1 Star - Room size. The asana room was spacious - there were easily 30 people in my class but could have fit 20 more with no problem at all. Mirrored all but the back (door/wall) sides to help with alignment and focus.\n+ 1 Star - Air. It is a pet peeve of mine about hot yoga classes that they usually have still, stuffy air. I start to feel a bit suffocated. This studio was especially nice in that there were ceiling fans, so though it was hot (104 degrees more or less), I didn't feel suffocated.\n+ 1 Star - The class style. I wish Mr. Banerjee had studios in LA!!!! I enjoyed this style class immensely. It was a combination of some flow, some traditional standing postures and some Bikram-styled asanas/combinations. It was possible to modify and do more or less strenuously depending on your day/energy level. I cannot rave enough about how wonderful the flow was mingled with the static poses; the transition to the floor postures was even ok and not too abrupt.\n+ 1 Star - Music. I liked almost all the music that was played (mainly in flow portions of class). Could have skipped that Bruce Springsteen song, but it was likely in there to appease the more \""rocker\"" types! other than that, lovely tunes that fit the mood.\n+1 Star - Teacher. Yes, it was Mr. Banerjee teaching the class, so it was the \""creator\"" himself. But what better way for my 1st class to go! He is a wonderful teacher, supportive, driving, challenging, engaging, but also nurturing and not a martinet (hear that, Mr. Choudry?). I genuinely felt pleasure in his tone, word choice and energy. Obviously a person who believes in what he says/teaches but also is not snooty!\n+ 1 Star - Parking. Although there is a McDonald's in the front of the lot (temptation! hello!), the rest of the lot is very open with lots of easy parking. Nice!\n+ 1 Star/ -1 Star - Staff. The front desk gal, although she was Very Helpful and loaned me a mat and towel for free seemed to be grumpy or sad or just ?? As she was the only other person other than Mr. Banerjee himself with whom I interacted, I was not charmed by her at all. Lighten up, honey! Geez!\n+ 1 Star - Retail area. A few things to buy, including water for class if you forgot yours/want more. Really liked the yoga clothing collection. Some good stuff here.\n\nAll in all, I am sad that I don't live near one of the 6 Sumits Yoga in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area. I found this class and studio to be perfect for me. | 1 |
Avoid this place like the plague! Horrible service, mediocre food, terrible management.\n\nTook 4 hours to eat, and the experience was less than memorable. | 0 |
Nothing special about this Kohls, just like every other Kohls that I have ever been to. Sure it is a little messy but I don't have high expectations. \n\nGreat for a last minute clothing need, quality is fine for what you pay for the items. Usually can find a pretty good deal on something. Nice selection of snazzy headbands in the Jr. department. | 1 |
We have enjoyed eating at Picazzo's several times. Last Saturday we went in and were welcomed,seated,ordered and served in a timely and courteous manner. We had the Puttanesca pizza and it was tasty; nice crust and not \""loaded\"" with too much stuff on top (really just the right amount). This was a no-meat pizza, but who knew it could be so good? We tried three different salads, the standard Caesar and a couple of salads that you could upgrade for a couple of dollars. All was delicious and we left very satisfied with our experience, as usual.\nOur waiter kept our iced tea glasses full on this hot day! | 1 |
I'm copying the review I left on Yahoo...\n\nThis is a horrible company to deal with. They offered rides available on Groupon that ended on Oct 14th, 2011. Since that time, they have not had a working phone number and they don't return emails. I've emailed them many many times to schedule a tour and heard back nothing. Then magically, they had a voicemail working that stated the date I wanted was unavailable. Once again, I've tried emailing and nothing was returned.\n\nI wasted money on a Groupon for this company and will be demanding my money back. What's the point of saying if you need help to call or email when they don't respond.\n\nI'll recommend another company once I find one that's a professional business. | 0 |
If your from NY this is really the only place you are going to find pizza like back home. Don't listen to anyone else's suggestions of where to find NY style pizza. Believe me I have tried many and while some were good - they weren't NY style - you know what I mean! Save yourself time and agita and just go here - you won't be disappointed. | 1 |
I've been here a few times and both times I've been disappointed. The shrimp they use tastes like it's been frozen forever and very rubbery. \nAfter the second time I've decided that there are other Mexican taco places I could eat at. | 0 |
bad Vegetarian food... I didn't like anything. I wish they had some kind of Veg Pasta. | 0 |
Cheap, questionable chicken and really, really overpriced considering the quality and amount that is given. Not a ton of options but the only thing open in town on Easter. Spend your money elsewhere. | 0 |
Oh my! Are those Vienna sausages in my sweet spaghetti? That was my first reaction when I went to Jollibee in the Philippines. Just like how the Philippines are an amalgamation of different cultures and cuisines, the menu here reflects that in fast food form. The fried chicken is not the best but cheap. The spaghetti sauce is similar to ketchup. Their boba is fresh, warm, and sweet. Lacks the chewiness and the drink unsettled my stomach for the rest of the day. | 0 |
My expectations for airline travel are quite low. Here's my own personal passenger bill of rights:\n\nI must make my connection when I have one.\nI should never have to sit in a middle seat.\nI should reach my destination no later than 2 hours after the promised arrival time.\n\nUS Airways consistently challenges those three requirements. \n\nLet's start with connections; the connections are quite compressed, like 30 minutes. That is unreasonable and leaves no room for error. If you miss the connecting flight then it is nearly impossible to get on the next flight because it is booked, in fact overbooked. I have missed my connection multiple times due tight scheduling by US Airways.\n\nAs for the middle seat, let's just say that is pure torture to me. US Airways charges you for an aisle or a window, even in economy. Lame. I am now trained to pay for exit row or the 'plus' sections on other carriers, but US Airways has taken this to a whole new level of stinginess and revenue generation. Booh!\n\nUsually if I am within 2 hours of my expected arrival time I can recover. Whether it is catching up on rest, rescheduling a meeting, grabbing a late dinner, 2 hours seems to be a reasonable delay - I told you my expectations are low! US Airways has only achieved a 50% success rate and that is an F in absolute terms and at best a D if you grade on the generous airline curve.\n\nUS Airways is definitely not my first choice. | 0 |
Okay XS was seriously the best club that I've ever been to. EVER. I don't know if it's the location or the people or both, but the environment was definitely bomb!\n\nI went with my friends on the Saturday during President's Day weekend. The line was probably like a mile long i swear, but I think because we had a group of 13 decent looking girls, they just let us cut everyone lol. I didn't realize how long the line was until we passed by all these angry faces. So to avoid waiting in line, just bring a big group of girls, with several decent looking ones, and waiting in line shouldn't be a problem. \n\nThe club was very decent size, pretty big actually. I would say this club is more for the young crowd.. all in the 20's and early 30's.. and they are primarily asian. There is an outdoor pool area with a bar, and plenty of areas to sit and just chill. You don't have to worry about the cold, there are heated lamps everywhere lol. \n\nDrinks are pretty expensive there, so I would recommend either pre-gaming a little before heading there rather than making all your drink purchases there.. unless you're planning on having the men buy you drinks there.. which I am sure they would. Seriously I have never been to a club with more generous guys haha. \n\nOverall the music was great, location was GORGOUS, area was pretty spacious, and the men are very generous haha \n\nGo on a Saturday night if you want to go to XS. Any other night, I don't think they'll open up the pool area, and that totally defeats the purpose of going there. | 1 |
Plus side: service was excellent. Price was more than acceptable considering the location (inside of Bally's food court/shopping area).\n\nNeutral: tempura is entirely ordinary. Quality of the sashimi isn't bad.\n\nMinus side: everything else. \""Isn't bad\"" isn't exactly acceptable at this price, although it's not like we were expecting quality either. The sashimi is just barely \""isn't bad\"" while the salmon was... well it wouldn't been okay if it was a third cheaper. That about sums up most of the meal...\n\nAwful: the spicy yellowtail roll was so bad I can't even remember what it tastes like anymore. I think I was just eating it because I realized I'd already paid for it, and didn't want it to go to waste.\n\nI know Vegas is pricey and I know I'm not going to be getting great or even very good sushi from a place like this, but given the price I was hoping it'd at least be okay. Next time, I'll spend 1/3rd the money and go get pizza somewhere, or make the drive to get something that's actually enjoyable... | 0 |
Our favorite restaurant downtown! Simplicity in presentation and environment, out of this world food! | 1 |
I love Bachi Burger! The food is great quality and thankfully they are more than open to modification (in my case for allergies). | 1 |
Lovely experience here tonight! Service was wonderful and was complimented by getting to meet the owner, Lindsey. She and her husband took it over from his family recently (not exactly sure when) to continue the family tradition. Food was tasty - I had pesto pasta and husband had garlic pizza plus a French onion soup and bruschetta. Atmosphere was quite nice on the patio and we enjoyed a delicious bottle of wine that was reasonably priced. We had the privilege of talking with Lindsay further and learning about their takeover after getting a summary from the menus which include an overview on key individuals in the history of Bread company, including Lindsay and the original owner, her mother in law. | 1 |
Well worth the money. I don't know why people give this one 4 stars based on price. You really don't go here unless you expect to pay. The service was great as well as the food! The filet was melt in your mouth as you can expect, cook exactly as I had ordered. The view at sunset is spectacular, I would recommend making a reservation at this time. The dress code says business attire, but you will be fine as long as your neatly dressed. You do have to go through security but its no big deal, just empty your pockets and move along. I would recommend this place to any one visiting Vegas. | 1 |
I reviewed Vinny's previously and gave it 5 stars but I had to take that review down and write an update. I ordered a pepperoni pizza to go. The price was right. It was only $8.25. However, I couldn't eat it. It was awful. I don't know what happened but the cheese was runny and the crust was doughy. My kids wouldn't eat it either. We had to throw it out. It's like I just threw $8.25 out the window. I doubt I go back. | 0 |
My family and I ordered pizza 1-2 times a week from this restaurant. For the past 20 years we have ordered from Rosati's in several cities. This store sent us a pizza with uncooked toppings tonight. When told about it, the store personnel refused to refund the cost of the pizza. They obviously couldn't care less about customer service, or satisfying long term customers. Well they just lost 2 customers tonight. I can order substandard pizza for a lot cheaper elsewhere. | 0 |
We recently moved into a new home had a friend recommend this company. Steve came out and installed our new security system he explained how everything works and how easy it is to use the system. Steve was very professional and efficient. We already feel safer in our new home. Thank You Smart Security | 1 |
Good....I ate there with a group of people and we all thought it was a solid 4 star place. I had the salmon and it was good. | 1 |
My husband and I experienced the tour in September 2010 while on our honeymoon and we had a blast! It was pretty cool driving on the actual roadway. The drive up Red Rock Canyon was awesome, and the little visitor's center was great. The tour guides were very friendly and very clear with their instructions. We rented one car and one of us drove to the destination, and then when we headed back the other drove, so we both got to experience driving those very unique cars! | 1 |
We stopped in Comme \u00c7a for lunch while in Vegas. It is located in the Cosmopolitan which is a beautiful hotel, and the d\u00e9cor in the restaurant is very nice and upscale. We were seated by a huge window overlooking the strip. I ordered a blood and sand to drink and my wife ordered a dark and stormy. Both cocktails were great. \n\nWe both ordered the 'Quick Lunch' for $19.50, but there are a lot of items on the menu that have a supplemental charge. I ordered the shrimp cocktail, fried chicken sandwich, and cr\u00e8me brulee for dessert and my wife ordered the oysters on the half shell, steamed mussels, and pot de cr\u00e8me. The shrimp cocktail and oysters were both fantastic. The shrimp were huge and tasted fresh and the oysters we had were kushi, penn cove, and blue point...all great oysters that were fresh. Neither of our entrees was great, but they weren't bad either. The fried chicken sandwich was HUGE but there was nothing memorable about it. The portion of mussels was really large too and they were prepared in a spicy tomato broth with andouille sausages. Both desserts were fantastic. If I could have ordered again I would have just ordered one 'Quick Lunch' and added on a app or two more. \n\nWe both really enjoyed our lunch at Comme \u00c7a and would love to come back for dinner at some point. The lunch menu was very reasonable priced and you get plenty of food, which isn't always the case at higher end restaurants. The service was great as well. | 1 |
This was my last stop on my Palms nightlife tour and I was pretty tired by the time I got here, so my review might be a little lacking for information. This place is smaller than I thought it would be, but it's still pretty nice. I think we hit this place around 2am or 3am, so it wasn't super packed and we were able to sit down at a table. The music was good and people were mostly out dancing on the balcony with the glass floor (which was scratched up, so it didn't look as stunning as it could). This is probably a good place to go if you feel like taking a break from the fast-paced action at the rest of the clubs. | 1 |
I don't understand how you offer delivery and I literally live on the same road, less than two miles away and you don't deliver to my area. Seriously the SAME road?! It doesn't make sense to me. | 0 |
Their garlic cheese knots were to die for! LOVED them! They beers were just OK. Their homemade Root Beer was very tasty. The only bad things I would say about this place: my grandfather was in a wheelchair & due to it's 2nd floor location, it was tricky to get to - we had to go up the elevator & through another restaurant to get to it. Also there is limited seating. One side is smoking section & the other is non smoking both are very small. Visiting this place was definitely worth it for the Root Beer & the Cheese Knots. The pizza was just OK. | 1 |
HORRIBLE TREATMENT. \n\nAfter having been a very frequent customer, we went to the cafe around 4:30 on a Friday. The food has always been priced a little high for the quality, but it is a local business and my boss is a local businessman. He likes to dine other small businesses.. This past visit it was dead empty with the exception of staff. It was my boss, his young-adult children and a fourteen month old baby and me. We were seated and enjoying a little of wine, the most expensive bottle on their very limited and impressively unimpressive wine list. What WAS outrageous was that the horrible way the owner treated us. Out of nowhere, and I must remind you, we were the ONLY people in the restaurant, the owner came over and demanded we make the baby stop pounding on the table. ...not my baby, and I'm one of those people who doesn't really like noisy kids, but I'm telling you, that was not the situation. These were chubby baby hands on the table with a laughing baby...and who were we bothering? We thought he was joking until we saw the look on his fat face. My boss said \""just pack our food to go\"". The owner turned around, not even out of earshot of our table and said \""that a--hole wants is food to go. Pack that sh-- up and get him the f--- out of here.\""\n\nSmall wonder the place was empty. Overpriced food, lousy wine selection and not even a friendly neighborhood atmosphere. This is a NO GO. | 0 |
This is going to be a simple update.\nI still love the crepes so I'm keeping my rating the same. Finally tried their chai though. They make them with honey so it really changes the taste. Makes them way sweeter than spicy. Trying that once was enough. I want spicy. | 1 |
Rip off 2.79 with car wash otherwise 3.09 what a rip.\nGas down the street is only 2.79 without the car wash , ice. Drive further it's worth it. | 0 |
Chompie's is an Arizona staple and huge with the ASU community as most of their servers, decorations and customers are either ASU students or parents of. That being said, Chompie's is known and loved by AZ natives. I'm not a native, or an ASU student, I just came here for good food and I hate to say, I wasn't particularly impressed.\n\nThe place is very much diner style: casual, overly decorated and giant portions. I got a greek skillet with the traditional fried egg, potatoes, veggies and feta cheese (to actually make it \""greek\""). The skillet was quite large and exploding with ingredients, but there was really nothing special to the food itself. After I drowned it in hot sauce it became a little less bland, but I only managed to eat half of it before I lost interest. There really wasn't anything particularly special: the components tasted pre-made and assembled. The prices were very manageable for the size of the meal and our ASU-student-server was pretty nice. I don't doubt that this is a traditional and 'regular' spot for many people in the valley, I just wanted more out of my breakfast. | 0 |
I couldn't wait to try this place - I had heard so many great things about the burgers and I do love a great burger. There was really nothing special about the burger! We were there for lunch - I have a feeling that this place is the ultimate after having a few and being really hungry. But for me - if you want a GREAT burger, go to Sonoma for the Kobe beef burger - much much better - but not as casual of an atmosphere... | 0 |
I've lived where there are four of these shops in the same strip mall (Seattle, Houston) and while Lee's isn't the best ever, the fact that it exists and is clean and tasty makes me really appreciate it. I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would order off the \""American\"" menu.... | 1 |
Modern Grove recently opened in the neighborhood. Recommend this place for a chill night out with the guys. Servers have always been very helpful and quick. Burger was a little overcooked but they re-made a burger with no problem.\n\nHighly recommend giving them a try! | 1 |
Seriously, great food, good enchiladas, good pastor, good Carne asada. Jugos naturales, nom nom. The food is actually spicy, like how it's supposed to be. I would prefer it hotter but this place is spicier than most. Oh yeah I forgot, GREAT SALSA! | 1 |
Dropped my phone off because the home screen wasn't unlocking. They quoted me 79.99 over the phone in case it was the digitizer.\n\nI get a call not too long after that it's working just fine, and that it actually fixed itself. They told me no charge and bring it back for repair in case problem persists and/or if it happens again. \n\nThey could've easily charged me the original quoted price. Instead, they were honest and forthright, and wouldn't even let me tip the technician. This is the way you build a business and its reputation. They will have always have my business, and i'll recommend them to all my friends/co workers who is in need of a repair. | 1 |
Thanks Su Vino for contributing to a wonderful afternoon with my goddaughter. She is an unemployed bartender who recently relocated to Phoenix. She needed some instruction on wines to complete her resume. We purchased a Groupon for a wine flight and appetizers. I was leery after reading some of the reviews. All I can say is they bent over backwards to assist us, explain things, answer questions, and make this a totally enjoyable experience. Kudos to our server, Jackie, who really made Melanie feel special. Their recommendations were spot on. And the glass of bubbly on the house didn't hurt, either. | 1 |
Being an Ohio State FANatic.. and living here in Charlotte, Home of the Friendly Fans. A group of 3 or 5 of us went (Me being a OSU, a few others MichiCan't fans and another being a Carolina fan)\n\nSince I know how the fanmanship (if thats a word) goes around this city, I had no worries that I would run into any trouble. Anyway, my buddy goes here alot (MichiCan't fan). \n\nHIGH PRICED DRINKS\nThe crowd inside was cool, (I love the tension, and the back and forth w/ other teams fans)\nThe food was ok. \n\nJust look at the \""app\"" part of the menu. Seemed kinda all over the place. Is this a Sports bar or some check \""mid scale\"" knock off?\n\nI think i had a beer and a shot, after I sawed my left arm off and gave it to the bartender, I made a exit to a OSU bar (Strike City). I didn't get any drinks from there so it was cool. \n\nKnowing my buddies they probably added a drink to my tab since i'm on enemy grounds. \n\nOver all, its a ok place, kinda pricey IMO. | 0 |
Well, I got no one to blame but Myself. I read the reviews and still went. AAAND, I'm taking time out of My life to write this. The Charcoal Room ain't what it used to be. I took My visiting Family there last night(Tuesday). This was the only resturant I ever ordered the Porterhouse. It used to be incredible, now, it just needs laces. Had a reservation, only one booth open, the first one, the rest were dirty, the hostess told Us. The waiter spoke broken english. OK. The steakhouse chopped salad, was chopped about 3 hours before We got them, light on the dressing, almost like a soup. Not crispy at all, no flavor.. My steak, I ordered medium rare, was medium. Fortunately, My nephew ordered his NY steak medium and it came medium rare, so I ate most of his and took mine home to My pooch, even she was dissappointed. The colossal baked potato was poor quality, soggy skin, hard and cracked inside...old. The Mac and Cheese, those bastards!!! Yep, also made too far ahead. I would say the service was good except for two things. One, Nobody ever asked how things were. Two, when you're a waiter and you're putting a coustomers entire steak(less 2 bites) into a doggie bag, don't you wonder why? The worse thing about the Charcoal Room is...........I ate there when it was incredible. Too bad. I don\""t recommend it to anyone. I won't be going back. Oh, and, adios. | 0 |
Of all the buffets ive been to in vegas, including cesars palace, place station, golden nugget to name a few.. This is the best. Best food and variety. Largest buffet line choices and biggest desert bar all at 9 bucks? Sad id ever paid 20 or more for buffets half as good. Dont waste your time or money anywhere else!! | 1 |
I've been to Meat and Potatoes a few times. This last time, however, was the best. I had my nephew (8) in town for his birthday to see Lion KIng and per his request Bone Marrow. So, off to Meat and Potatoes we went. \n\nOur waitress was AMAZING, especially when having a child at one of your tables for the as my nephew put it \""fanciest restaurant\"" he'd been to. We got Chicken Livers, brussel sprouts, mussels and the requested Bone Marrow. Not only did he love it, he devoured it! Our waitress kept asking him what he thought, etc. Even the hostess who sat us came and checked on him. I was so grateful for the service they provided. Most folks groan when they see a kid being seated at their table - if our waitress groaned, she never showed it. \n\nI HIGHLY recommend this restaurant! Not only for the amazing service, but the food. The food is amazing. | 1 |
We had high expectations of the place after reading so many rave reviews. Waiting until last minute to redeem my Groupon we headed to Public House last night. We had a bit of a wait. The place was quite crowded for a Tuesday evening. We were finally seated and greeted warmly by our server. \n\nWe perused the drink menu for quite some time before deciding on our drinks for the evening. This is no easy feat with the enormous beer, wine and mixed drink selection options they have. I ordered The Blonde and my fella decided on the Banana Bread beer. The drinks came out and everyone kept raving about the Banana Bread beer being their favorite. I wanted nothing to do with it since I don't like the smell or banana, but my fella was quite excited. He tasted it and by the look on his face, he was no as impressed as everyone else seemed to be. My drink, on the other hand, was amazing. My fella even admitted that mine was far superior to his. Haha. I eventually did try the Banana Bread beer out of curiosity and although it wasn't my favorite beer ever, but it wasn't bad. \n\nFor food we shared a few small plates. We got the bone marrow, bacon wrapped figs and the grilled octopus. I have to admit the items we ordered didn't blow me away, but I see potential on the food front. The octopus was a little fishier than I'm used to and I guess I was hoping for a chewier texture. It was just a little different than the octopus I'm used to. The bacon wrapped figs weren't a favorite of mine either. The dressing was just overwhelmingly sweet and I wished that the bacon was just a little crispier to add a less mushy texture to the whole dish. The bone marrow was probably my favorite. It was fatty and fuil of flavor. I was definitely impressed with the restaurant overall and look forward to going back and trying a number of other beers that they offer. I'm also interested by quite a few more options on the food menu that I think hold potential. \n\nThe best part of our dining experience was the service. It was the deciding factor between giving this place a 3 and a 4. Our waiter and busboy were incredibly attentive and every server who brought a drink or plate to our table made pleasant conversation and had a great attitude. To top it all off we had a great conversation with the restaurant manager / sommelier.. He was extremely gracious. We will definitely be back... and soon. | 1 |
Over priced mediocre food. Lousy service and terrible location. Just order Pizza Hut your stomach will thank you!! | 0 |
Before today I probably would have given this place three stars based mostly on their beer selection; however, today the service was terrible. We waited two hours for a pizza sub, French onion soup, fries, and buffalo chicken tenders. About an hour and a half in we finally got the small pizza sub and the wrongly made buffalo chicken tenders (ie, no hot sauce). We were told by the waitress that she realized it was wrong, but decided to still bring it out to see if my gf would eat it. She sent it back. By a half hour later, we still had not received the buffalo chicken tenders, nor the French onion soup (which should have been mostly made already), and no fries. We were told the chef was new, but no effort was made really to make the situation better. No quick and easy app or beers on the house. To boot, the beer was pretty expensive. I will probably give the place another chance based on their beer selection, but it won't be for a while. The food has always been average at best, and the pizza sub was no different. We ended up leaving after two hours without receiving 75% of our order. | 0 |
We used Dianne for Jonathan's Walk4Friendship.... truly talented ... everyone was so impressed by her work!\n\nthank you | 1 |
The good: great smelling toiletries; location (right across from Venetian/Palazzo and the Fashion Show Mall, kitty corner from Wynn; five minute walking distance to Mirage, Caesars); comfortable bed and sheets; easy in and out from parking lot; right off Spring Mountain so Chinatown is a short car ride away.\n\nThe bad: a grossly overpriced Starbucks in the hotel... double the normal price for a tall drip coffee?! And you can't use any Starbucks card there; no coffee maker in the room either; lack of interesting restaurants.\n\nThe UGLY: $22 per day mandatory resort fee! It's one of the most expensive fees charged (even more than Venetian's) and includes a bunch of things that not many would take advantage of. The fees rack up... we stayed 4 nights and when all was said and done, the resort fees were enough to pay for another night's stay! We otherwise enjoyed our stay at TI but the resort fees left a bad enough taste in our mouths that we would never choose it again. Try the Harrah's chain of hotels instead, which include Caesar's, Rio, Paris, Planet Hollywood, etc. They don't nickle and dime their patrons with those BS fees. | 0 |
I travel to Phoenix at least once a month and always pass by Sixt counter never stop by because I thought they are a SUB car rental agency Where they rent you an older model cars but this time I needed a car and the rates where so high because of the spring training so I used Hot Wire looking for the best deal and they selected SIXT.\nI didn't like that but it was almost $120.00 cheaper than the agency that I do business with so I went for it. When I got there I was treated very well and the agent hand me a key to Mercedes E350 much better car than what I ordered. So I went downstairs thinking of a high mile older car I was shocked to find a band new car with 4000 miles fully loaded. I pick up the car and used it . The return was very fast all their personal handled me with TLC checked out the car e-mailed me my rec'd and I was on my way. I left my car charger in the car and the agent came after me and gave it to me. This is service. Every one was nice a courteous and friendly. I recommend every one try it. I am also hoping that this is not one of \""first time experience \"" and that they will treat me like this always. Otherwise YELP will get another write up. | 1 |
Sure, you could hate on LGO for:\n-the difficulty of finding a parking spot (although people are always coming and going, wait 2 minutes and someone will vacate a spot or there is ALWAYS parking across the street)\n-the crowd or occasional snobby worker (more often than not, the people are friendly and I don't wait more than 5 min to order even though the line looks daunting)\n-the \""our dishes are good and we know it\"" high prices\nBUT, if we're basing the review of LGO on food & experience: 5 stars. \n\nMy biggest complaint would be the vegetarian sandwich, but I lived and I learned and I don't order it anymore. Looking for something veg? The sweet potatoe sushi roll, vegetarian breakfast burrito, and the mother earth pizza (which can be made vegan and/or gluten free) are all great choices! \n\nOther highlights: the commuter sandwich with turkey, the AMAZING pizza, and their splendid iced green tea (or anything else from the coffee bar). \n\nBut finally, I dare you to taste a Tammie Coe pastry that doesn't blow your mind. The best is the Ooey Gooey cupcake - don't be led astray by how good the red velvet looks, just get the Ooey Gooey, TRUST ME! If you're feeling dangerous, the Old Fashioned (which looks like a hostess cupcake) is wonderful, as are the cookies and cakes. If you're not a confection kind of person and you can resist the pastry shelves, move due south within the restaurant to the Gelato shop where the ice cream is equally as delicious as the rest of the food! | 1 |
We work for one of the major hotels on the strip. We work the grave shift and since this place stayed open late, we decided to order from them. \nThe chicken fingers looked overcooked and it was stale as were my fries.\nWe ordered a full bucket of chickn wings-MILD (32 pieces) and only got 1/2 bucket (16 pieces) and they were HOT.\nWhen we called, the owner was extremely rude and made us feel like we were lying. He asked us if we ate the wings and that he wanted them back. He never apologized or offered any compensation.\nOur order came out to $52...you would think we would get a little bit of customer service. When we asked how long the driver would be, he said \""he'll be there when he gets there\""!! Yes! And this was the OWNER!\nWhen the driver returned, we told him we knew it wasn't his fault but we were very disappointed. In fact he was the only good thing about this place. \nAnd guess what? When we got the wings, the box was melted and the sauce was put on the side in containers and the covers weren't even on. So all the sauce leaked everywhere.\nWish I could post pictures so you could see how horrible this place is. DON'T ORDER FROM THIS PLACE! | 0 |
This cafeteria style place was a huge mistake. around 9 dollars for an overcooked cheeseburger on a cold bun. this place is right next to the sportsbook in the IP but I would avoid it at all costs. i think it actually made my hangover WORSE. i would actually eat at mcdonalds before i ate here, and I never eat at mcdonalds. | 0 |
The toong tong was a decent appetizer and the pad ke-mao was a good entree, but the pak rad kang (with chicken added) was a disappointment. All in all, the food was fine. Not special, but not terrible either.\n\nThis rating would've been higher--that is, 3 or even 4 stars--had the service come a little closer to living up to the hype in other reviews. As it was, we had a 7pm reservation and were seated promptly upon arrival, but no one came to our table for a full 20-25 minutes after being seated, despite several tables sitting empty (and uncleaned) around us. Had the place been full, it would've been more understandable. But it was kind of ridiculous how good they were at ignoring us as we pleaded nonverbally for at least a strong beverage to pass the time.\n\nIncidentally, when it came time for the check, they were very attentive all of a sudden. | 0 |
So you're with a bunch of people who like chicken fried steak, and they say, hey theres this steak house you should try with us. This should be your first warning. If a steak house is known for its chicken fried steak, something is not right.\n\nMaybe you're different, maybe you think, sure, they like chicken fried steak, and I like fried asshole. Then this is your place!\n\nNow, you go in, and ahh the ambiance, shit on the walls as far as the eye can see, oh and not just the walls, the ceiling as well! Its jam packed, you can't hear the person in front of you, you're thinking, when's the last time they dusted all this crap? How much falls in my food from the lazy ceiling fans. \n\nIts hot and a bit humid to, maybe to recreate that true texas experience?\n\nSo you order your tbone, medium rare, side of mashed potatoes and hell, some okra while you're at it. Good okra is hard to find in these parts.\n\nThe okra, crispy, soft inside (once its done being molten lava), perfect. Don't bother with the sauce unless your garnish for okra is tartar sauce.\n\nHey, a side salad come with it! Oh, the tiny diced tomatoes, ice burg lettuce, and what an interesting mix, diced green olives all over the top, in giant piles.\n\nNow your entree comes, but the waitress, if you're lucky, has worked there 4 years! Shes got a blond dye job, too much eye makeup, and a perm. She makes sure to leave every single dish on the table, just in case you missed one delicious crumb. At some point she might drop by one basket of rolls, for a table of 8. The buttermilk ones taste homemade, not bad!\n\nOh yes, the entree, a tbone, super thin, in what is that? Its pooling everywhere, oh god the grease. You did order your steak with a large slathering of grease right? Well those mashed potatoes, which are thick and standard, are drenched in heavy white gravy, and all the blandness of the gravy helps soak up all that grease!\n\nSo you're almost done with your food, omg, your giant glass is empty? Where was that waitress? Oh don't worry, just grab her by the arm and she'll try to remember to refill your drink. And those extra plates, well if they're really bothering you you can ask a bus person to take them, though you might as well be asking them to lick your shoe (or eat what you just did). \n\nNow you're full, you've paid, and because of its \""prime\"" location, you get to cross a busy intersection to get to the car you had to park across the street. \n\nMight as well just wait to get home to pee too, its sweltering in there, more crap on the walls and ceiling, and you pretty much have to stand on the toilet to get the stall door closed. | 0 |
Have you ever spat out your sushi? I did.\n\nSushi on Summerlin had some potential. it has a unique location, there isn't any wait for a table, and they seemed to have good specials. Unfortunately, I now know why the specials are so low--the quality of the fish isn't as good as it should be. \n\nWhen we walked in there was a couple in the far corner eating dinner, and the sushi chefs were standing behind the counter watching football on tv. The one server brought us menus and took our drink orders as we sat ourselves at the counter. We decided to do the usual sushi test--order the regular items that anyone would order anywhere else and compare it. This is how it went:\n\nMaguro: I spat it out. I couldn't help myself. The moment it hit my tongue I tasted that rotten fish taste from lack of proper refrigeration. I hid it in the napkin and moved on.\n\nSnapper: It was okay but it was very bland and the rice wasn't even seasoned. They just threw rice in the cooker and took it out to use it. I never use soy sauce with sushi, and I had to with this order.\n\nTempura: nope. Nope. Noooooooo. It was done all wrong, came out burnt (look at the photo I posted) and was flavorless. Their sauce was just brown liquid. \n\nAfter the experience there, we exited the restaurant and immediately headed to our regular spot to get that bad taste out of our mouths. Luckily we did. \n\nIf you are looking for a sushi bar to go to around this area, please steer clear of this place. I never return to restaurants that give me the gift of diarrhea, and I suggest you don't risk it. Don't take any single opinion to heart, but if you read the other RECENT comments and they pretty much say the same thing, you may want to take it as a big hint.\n\nSushi on Summerlin, if I could remove the star I provided on this review today, I certainly would. You do not deserve it. | 0 |
It's a Saturday night and I've been sitting on a booth with two friends for over 30 minutes and NO ONE working in this place has asked us if we want a drink or food. I realize I could walk over to the bar but then why the hell are there booths in here. Very poorly run. | 0 |
Nice sized store, and good option for those claustrophobic types that cant handle Trader Joes, they have a HUGE beer & wine selection too that is a big PLUS for me! They have those sanatizing wipes for the carts I am thankful for those and a free useful nutritional mag with coupons in it they hand out. | 1 |
Really helpful staff...\nThe bus passes are helpful...\nEdina travel needs! | 1 |
My wife and I have been looking at this place for a long time and finally decided to give it a try tonight. She ordered the fillet w lobster tail, garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. I choose the 16oz porter house with baked potato and dinner salad. Both steaks were very tough. For the \""prime\"" cuts of beef that they were said to be, these didn't come close to what you'd expect for a top quality steak house. The dinner salad was close to frozen, the bread was very dry, the lobster tail was good, but nothing special. The service was average. All in all, we were sorely disappointed and I'm sure we won't return. | 0 |
Good pizza! Bubbly crust with good flavor, fresh toppings! | 1 |
This place is great. I first fell in love with it at the M-Casino; but that location closed. I checked out the Plaza Hotel location and it did not live up to the same standards. It's okay, you should find out for yourself. They give you a lot of food and have a fun menu. They have HUGE pancakes and tasty dishes. I'd check it out again for sure. Too bad the M-Resort location closed. I prefer that over downtown; as downtown has drawn a more... how do I put this, ghetto crowd. Just my two cents. | 1 |
GREAT FOOD & COCKTAIL Menus!! Wake it Up and South of the Canal with a side of avocado was outstanding. The beignets aren't the best I've ever had but the Almond Brioche french toast is tasty. Fresh fruit was really fresh. IMPORTANTLY they have a FULL BAR! Spoke with the Manager and they are looking at adding a bottomless Mimosa deal for the weekend starting Mother's Day. The Mandarin Orange Tangerine was the most tasty! And for the Grapefruit lovers out there they have grapefruit mimosa! | 1 |
Apparently Den means Black in Vietnamese which makes sense of the stark monochrome in this chic space. Very simple room, open kitchen, metallic counter tops, simple list of soups, chicken wings, and beers and cocktails. The Pho was pretty amazing, I went with a friend who has lived in Vietnam for the last several years and he said maybe the beef could be less cooked but the broth and fresh veggies were better than most of what he gets at home in Hanoi. So there's that. \n\nThere were lots of cool people hanging out, the room is sexy and chill, the service was perfect, fast, funny, friendly... I'll be back here often and all the time. | 1 |
We tried the Margherita, New Yorker, and Cal Italia. Personally, I like the antipasti classic meatballs. \n\nThe service was poor at best. I realize it was packed so they don't get one more star taken off. We never had water without asking and when we did ask they ignored us. What really cost them points is seeing others come in after us get their pizza before us. Our 7 year old was already done with her Mac and Cheese before they came to check on us, only to realize we hadn't eaten.\n\nIt wouldn't have been so bad if we weren't there for a birthday dinner. The manager was sent over, he apologized and said he would put in a rush and make something special. Well all the pizzas came out burnt. The rock hard crust had me gasping for air or water to wash it down only when I reached for the water... you guessed it, I didn't have any.\n\nOne last chance, happy birthday song... Nope they were too busy. \n\nWhen it came time for the check they chraged us for an apple juice which should have come with the kids menu. Live and learn. | 0 |
Jimbo DIED and went to PINBALL HEAVEN ! ! !\n\nPinball ALERT !\nPINBALL Alert !\npinBall alErt !\n\nThis place is about one thing and one thing only: PINBALL !!! \n\nI saved my 400th review for this gem. \n\nThis would be Pinball HELL if I was stuck here with no quarters...\n\nI should also mention I have a bi-coastal list of pinball spots here: http://www.yelp.com/list_details?list_id=gGDHjDE7A5YYZVCctiC7yw\nThe closest (i would assume) to the Pinball Hall of Fame in LV is LUCKY Ju Ju in Alameda, Carlifornia (see: http://www.yelp.com/biz/0QlH001-SzzfwwuLoS8B7g ), which I hope to get to see for myself before heading back to NYC.\n\nWhy can't they have something like this in every major city in the United Staes? Pinball machines are works of ART in their own right from the translite work, to the cabinet art work, to the back box, and upon the playfield. I especially LOVE the art on the machines from the 50's. I think I've found my mission in life...\n\nThe Pinball Hall of Fame is about 20 minutes from the Strip if you're coming from the Mandalay Bay area. Parking is plentiful in this non-descript strip mall. On the two occasions I visited there were only a handful of people playing the various machines. \n\nMost of them are VERY well maintained, cleaned, polished, restored, and in excellent working order for machines that are on 24/7. This place is a labor of love and it shows. All proceeds go to charity - I believe the Salvation Army. \n\nI'll update the review eventually with all of the machines I got to play. However my all-time favorite is: \n\n + The Pinball Circus (see: http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=4354 )\n\nThere are only two of these in the world and the Pinball Hall of Fame has ONE of them!!! This machine is awesome! It's unique in that Midway created a machine that was upright and vertical in the same way as other coin-op video games versus the traditional horizontal playfield. There's three different playfields and at least 7 flippers on this particular pin. Incredibly unique and incredibly fun to play for $1.00 per game. I was able to get 2 free games based on one credit. All I know is that if this game were still on the open resale market or available brand new, I'd have one in my house! I love it that much. Too bad Midway is now out of business. I really wish this machine was not just a limited prototype and was actually mass produced. \n\nMost of the old-school pinball machines (ie: electro-mechanical (EM's)) are $.25. The solid-state machines are either $.50 or $.75 per game. \n\nUnfortunately, I didn't get to play all 170+ machines. Each one has a different \""personality\"" and set of rules. I could easily waste the entire day at this place. The machines I typically gravitate to and would be compelled to collect are those produced in the 90's like: \n\n + Addams Family (see: http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=20 )\n + Scared Stiff (see: http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=3915 )\n + Star Wars (see: http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=2358 )\n\nFor those produced after the Year 2000 - all produced by STERN (see: www.sternpinball.com ): \n\n + High Roller Casino (see: http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=4502 )\n + The Simpsons Pinball Party (see: http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=4674 )\n + Spiderman (see: http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=5237 ) \n\nThe Electro-Mechanicals (EM's) are a special breed of machine that doesn't have all the gadgets or high speed of the newer solid state machines. The best value for your quarter can be found in the EM's. While I have a preference for the later generation machines, it's so easy to appreciate the old school EM machines because of the great care put into maintaining and upkeep of these beautiful machines. My favs: \n + Kings and Queens (see: http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=1381 )\n + others...\n\nI absolutely LOVE the Pinball Hall of Fame. If you're in Sin City and not a golfer, gambler, or shopper and looking for something unique to see and experience, check out the Pinball Hall of Fame! \n\nAbsolute 5 STARS...\npix laters! =P | 1 |
So rude for a place with nowhere to sit. I asked if they could make a egg white sandwich instead of regular egg... They're response \""No it's too much for us to have to separate the egg. If you want something healthy eat the carrot sandwich\"" really? Cause I don't make sandwiches for a living and even I could separate an egg to make a sandwich. So pathetic. Perfect example of people who get good yelp reviews and feel like they're unstoppable. I should've known, most of their 5 star reviews are from people with 3-5 reviews. | 0 |
I'm not really a buffet person too, but I'd say the consensus around my party who I dined with was pretty much mediocre. Also, they had the WORST pizza I've ever tasted here. Now that's saying something. Desserts were sub par too. My husband really liked the pasta he had made, but other than that, just so-so experience. | 0 |
I have been dining here for years with exceptional service and food. As the hostess directed us to our table I asked for Assistant General Manager - Mark Lopez and that I wanted to thank him for his emails and introduce myself to him. The food was excellent as always. Service was below par...hence the 2 stars. As we were attempting to get our check from our server we asked if Mark was going to make it out to our table. He said yes and he was in the office. After more than 1 hour for dinner and another 15-20 to get our bill paid...NO Mark...EVER. We left disappointed to thinking of other restaurants to go to next time we're in the mood for Italian. Too bad...use to LOVE this place. | 0 |
One of my favorite buffets in Las Vegas. Last time I came was probably a good 5-6 years ago, but I remember the wait gets really really long if you don't get there super early. Hence, my group rushed to get there by 530 to beat the wait. \n\nThere was probably 20-30 people ahead of us for dinner. The line moved quite quickly as they were still trying to seat people when we arrived. The ambiance definitely stands out compared to any other buffet I've been to. They have a little building in the middle just for the dozens of desserts that they offer. \n\nThe prime rib here is pretty good although this time around, a lot of the meat was medium rare. They have a crepe station that serves both savory and sweet. The sweet crepe is very filling so be sure to save that till the very end. \n\nThis buffet has a lot of variety and it's hard not to find something that you would like. \n\nKey: When I was leaving around 700-730, there was a line with at least 75 people in it. The wait is usually up to 90 minutes around then. | 1 |
Spending a weekend in vegas with my friends and I had one goal -- check off as many places off my eat-list. Serendipity has been on that list for quite some time, and dammit I was going to make sure I got it this time. \n\nWalked over the ceasar's and luckily the serendipity window's line wasn't too long yet. I focused primarily on the frozen hot chocolate (etc) menu and was quite taken aback by how pricey the menu was. \n\nThe menu was comprised of standard american fare with a hefty dessert list, but I was only interested in one thing. Frozen hot chocolate.\n\nI reluctantly ordered my $14 , yes $14 dollar double size original frozen hot chocolate which I had intended to share with my friend anyway. \n\nWait time wasn't bad at all. After all, how long could it take to whip up a drink behind the express window. \n\nMy order came out, and I hand to two-hand it over to our table. The mofo was HUGE. I took a side by side comparison of the one person vs. the two person size. In all honesty, the larger size could have been filling for more than two people.\n\nI excitedly that first sip, and thought to myself, yeah, this is petty good, but damn $14. That could've been several steak and eggs plates. Sigh. It was a novel idea --frozen hot chocolate, but sadly it didn't quite live up to all the hype. It wasn't quite frozen, and I was expecting a different, more unique texture. Ah well. \n\nDoubt I'll be coming back here, at least not for their flagship menu item. | 0 |
Dude...breakfast done right. I ordered huevos rancheros and it came with a side of potatoes. Delicious. Very nice and spicy sauce that came with my huevos.\n\nThe ladies and I shared a short stack (2 cakes) of blueberry pancakes and smothered it in butter and syrup. It was sweet and delicious and the cakes were nice and fluffy.\n\nAlso, three of the four ladies ordered a side of gravy to go with their biscuits they received with their meals (bread does not come with huevos rancheros). I sampled a bit of a biscuit and it was really, really good. Really crisp on the outside and fluffy in the middle.\n\nThe diner is small and filled with old-school charm. There are autographed photos from all kinds of old-school celebrities. Our server was really sweet and did a nice job of handling all of her tables on a busy Saturday morning. | 1 |
For a city with a Tex Mex place for every 10 people, you've got to bring your A-game when you show up in the Queen City. I went to Texicali a few nights ago before the Sara Bareillis concert. They were completely unprepared for the foot traffic before the show. There was hardly anyone in the restaurant when my friend and I showed up, yet we stood in line behind about 8 other people for 5-10 minutes without seeing a hostess. Since it was just the two of us, we thought the bar might be our best bet. The bartender was clearly frazzled and it took, in my opinion, much too long before he was able to take our drink and then our food order. The food was decent. I ordered two different types of fish tacos. They could have used more salt. And our food came out before the appetizer -- like 45 minutes before the appetizer. \n\nHowever, my order came out wrong -- one of the tacos was a steak taco when I ordered the Baha Mahi. No big deal -- the promised they'd correct it and check on our appetizer also. Forty five minutes later, the appetizer came out and then finally my replacement taco, after I flagged down someone and asked about it... again. \n\nAccidents happen, but I was surprised they weren't more on top of it once they realized their mistake. They comped one of the tacos and our app, which was a nice gesture. I probably won't give this place another chance for the sheer number of better Tex Mex places in Charlotte. | 0 |
Terrible, terrible, terrible! Don't believe the ad that advertises 5 rooms for $19.75...it is a scam! First thing the technician did was tell me how bad my house smelled and how awful my carpet looked (total exaggeration). NICE HUH! Then he proceeded to quote us a total of $273.00 to clean our smelly, awful carpet. We ended up agreeing on $70.00 and boy do I regret it! Well if my house had a slight smell before it was now 100 times worse...the whole house smells like wet, soggy, stale carpet...and that was with the deodorizer...I had my carpet cleaned 4 months ago by a different more reliable company and by the time they left my house it smelled wonderful and fresh and clean! I only went with AZ carpet, upholstery and air duct because of there advertisement. When I called to complain all they could tell me is that they would come and do a re-do...NO THANKS! My carpet is already soggy enough! I want a REFUND! | 0 |
Greg and Coyote Blind Company are beyond great! Greg came to my house and provided quotes on two windows that were up high in vaulted room. Greg came in, took the measurements and provided with a great quote! My wife and I decided to only do one of the windows for now. Today, Greg just got done installing the blinds and they were a perfect fit! Greg had to use a 20' ladder to do the installation and I was worried that the ladder might leave marks on my light colored walls, but Greg was a pro, and there was no marks or dings to the wall! This was a major worry of mine because I had a couple of other companies come out and quote blinds for the same windows and they left hand marks and dings on the wall just to provide a quote! It required me to get out my ladder and the paint bucket once they left to repair my \""free\"" estimate. During the install I had mentioned to Greg that I had a couple of existing Valance's on other sets of blinds that the clips had broken off in my house. Greg went to his truck and grabbed some new clips and put them back on the Valance's at no charge! All in all Greg was very professional, had a great price, respectful of my home and went out of his way to fix something else of mine for free. I would definitely recommend Greg and his company. | 1 |
my wife and i just took the tour and really had an enjoyable time. We were able to experience the great food (and plenty of it) and receive a brief education on downtown las vegas. The tour gave us the opportunity to see some areas and places that we otherwise would not realize were there. Vicky and Evan were great !. We highly recommend as an excellent value and a great way to spend 3 hours in D'town vegas | 1 |
Just got back from Vegas....took a visit here...the casino made every other casino look like wal mart....WOMEN will love it! Hot bars, bright lights, and very very clean! I also schooled my friend on slots and he hit $2100 here, not bad! | 1 |
This is a great little south Charlotte gem. You'd never know it was there unless you skimmed across it on your Google Maps app on your iPhone....\n\nI read Chad's review and knew that my wife and I had to check it out. All this time and it's been waiting for us right across from Stonecrest....What a treat. \n\nYou need to park on Elmstone. You'll see a sign that reads \""Park closes at sunset\"" and then just follow the path about 75 yards in. \n\nYou happen upon a mass of boulders and, boy, are they awesome. It just seems so odd once you come to and realize where you're standing. A nice little boulder park in the middle of a rather affluent neighborhood? NDB. \n\nIf you choose to climb the rocks, be careful. Shifty surfaces in some areas and lots of slick surfaces with moss. \n\nDespite the graffiti, sparse garbage/litter and misuse, what an interesting little collection. Definitely worth the visit. \n\nTake the path further down and you'll hit part of McAlpine/McMullen Creek. You can follow the path all the back to Elmstone Dr. A nice little nature walk. Brief, but very pretty. \n\nStop by with the kids or just for a quick glance at these huge rocks! | 1 |
What happened to Shimogamo? I had a good experience there 2 years ago. It was a 4 star sushi restaurant for me that time with good quality of food and service and that's why we went back there for our 3rd wedding anniversary. But our anniversary was totally ruined.\n\nTheir service was terrible, just terrible. The only thing they did right was taking order of our drinks and brought them quick. After that things just went wrong in every way. It was like we were totally not served. \n\nFor starter, we ordered beer and they only brought the bottle, no glass although other tables got glasses. That was fine. We tried to get a glass but the waiter never came back to us, even to take orders. We couldn't find the waiter for about 10 mins so we decided to order things we could order directly to the chef at the sushi bar we were seating.\n\nThen they forgot to bring 2 out of 8 dishes we ordered including our appetizer. My husband got his dish around 20 mins after ordering and I had to wait another 15 minutes for mine. My husband finished his drink but had to wait for 20 minutes to get another drink. We again waited for 20 mins for just for the bill, etc.. And every time we needed something, we had to wave them as they never come by us. \""Waiting\"" is the word that explains our experience at Shimogamo this time. \n\nIt seemed the chefs at the sushi bar and waiter/waitress were confused about orders all the time. They brought at least 3 dishes to wrong tables. We heard someone dropped dish(es) with a big noise in the kitchen.\n\nEven the quality of sushi was not good this time. The fish was totally not fresh and didn't taste almost at all. It's a fast food restaurant quality.\n\nI think this was our worst experience at a restaurant ever. Sometimes we get not-so-good service or they forget our order but I've never seen my husband so disappointed before. He is a sweet person and gives at least 20% tip even if they forget our order but this time, he only left 15% tip. But I understand that after seeing him waiting miserably for his drink for 20 mins trying to get attention from them without success. Yes, we just felt ignored and miserable. A waitress even got to the sushi bar and asked the chef in front of us whether he's thirsty and needed something to drink but my husband was totally left without any drink for too long.\n\nAnd for the first time, I heard my husband saying \""I will never go back to the restaurant.\"" | 0 |
Abosultely love the pepperoni pizza and Ceasar Salad here. | 1 |
I generally avoid buffets, and I find I can generally do better on all dimensions ordering from a menu. Circumstances dictated, so I gave the Wicked Spoon a try for breakfast. The food here, at least at breakfast, was really good, and the price was quite reasonable given the location and the quality of the food. I can't rave about a particular dish, but I enjoyed everything I put on my plate. The service and atmosphere were also on the money. If you are staying at The Cosmo, I think this place is worth a try. | 1 |
These guys are nice, efficient, and FAST!\n\nI picked out the tires I wanted online with an out the door price. Went in on a busy Saturday afternoon thinking I would have to order the tires and come back later for install. They had my tires in stock and I only waited about 45 min. for install. This was the BEST tire buying experience I have had. GO HERE and NOT SEARS for tires. I will be bringing my tire needs here from now on and forever!\n\nThanks Discount Tire! | 1 |
After reading my review from last year, I must say my most current experience here has been much better. My past 2 visits are based on the happy hour menu which is weekdays 3-6 and 9-close. If you are craving this place and are on a budget, by all means come during happy hour! Drink and food specials, which are unbeatable and definitely won't bust your wallet. I've been twice and will probably be back for more just to finish trying all the items on the food part of the menu. Here's the run down of what I've tried.\n\nBuffalo chicken tenders- comes with 2 large pieces and those infamous brenner waffle fries dusted with cocoa powder. You definitely get your money's worth with this because it's a good amount of food for a single person. Spiciness was just right for me and I prefer most of my buffalo style food on the mild side. Perfect amount of sauce because sometimes when you order tenders buffalo style its like dripping with sauce and thankfully that's not the case here. Breading was good and not too thick. Highly recommend!\n\nThe Mini Philly- the perfect combination of cheese and beef. It's practically a match made in heaven. I think it's the 5 cheese blend that does the trick.\n\nBuffalo chicken slider- pretty good too, but I'm not a big fan of feta cheese. Although I would recommend the mini philly rather than this.\n\nOnion rings- pretty standard onion rings. Comes with a chocolate ranch sauce, but it honestly tasted really close to plain ranch with a hint of brown color. \n\nchocolate pizza- loved every bite of it, just like I expected. Half a pizza is big portion for 1 person so you should really plan on sharing this. The combination of the chocolate marshmallow and crust does the trick- Brenner you a pure genius or chocolate genius that is, hahaha. Another item where you will get your money's worth! | 1 |
The Rio is not a bad hotel however, they could definitely use some upgrades. \n\nMy boyfriend and I stayed here for 3 days back in March of 2014 for pretty much free since he had racked up $400 worth of points to use for Las Vegas from one of his credit cards. One of those really nice perks. He was able to get this great package deal from a Christmas/Holiday Special Vegas was running back in late 2013. When he called back in February to check on the hotel to see if everything was still good, I believe it was stated to him that the deal could only be used in the month of February. He explained to customer service that he was never told that and booked the room for March. When we arrived to check in, we were told we were upgraded to I believe the Master Queen Suite after realizing there was a mistake on their end and which is how we got the free room upgrade, free internet and $35 room service voucher. GREAT perks! We would have been upgraded to the King Suite but they were all booked. The room had double beds and was huge! We had so much space to lay out our belongings. \n\nThe place was very clean. The room had a TV, area for lounging, a huge vanity mirror, two sinks, spacious bathroom with a tub/shower and granite counter space. Also, there was a large closet, more than enough drawers, small fridge, Keurig and a safe. Everything you need for a hotel stay. We had a FANTASTIC view of The Strip. We could see all of Vegas. Our room was high up and located on the side of the highway. The view itself sold me. At night, it was a site to see.\n\nWe ordered from room service which was very expensive. We shared some fries and chicken strips and had two drinks. It was over $30. Again, because we had so many points stocked up, it was essentially free. Also, we used the $35 room service voucher we were given as an upgrade. When we needed towels, we called down and they were sent up immediately. It was unfortunate we couldn't utilize the pool more but it was OK. The Casino was paying off very well. in total, my BF and I won $1500 our time there. \n\nAlso, they have the Voodoo Lounge on the rooftop. WOW! The view is breathtaking. I was however bothered by the fact that if you wanted to sit on lounge chairs/couches that were by the window, you had to buy a bottle of wine. I think that is was crappy. You already had to pay to get into the club and then you're told if you want to enjoy the view of indoor seating, you had to pay an additional charge. That was crappy but at least the drinks were decent. \n\nWhere there was room for improvement was the carpet. It's old and outdated. Also, the toilets are VERY loud when they flush. I am not sure if this is due to piping or what but it was noisy. \n\nOverall, I really enjoyed my visit. It could certainly be because we practically stayed there for free but even if we did pay, I cannot say I complained much if at all with the hotel other than the smoke ( which really can't be controlled). | 1 |
I love this place! Finally a nail salon that is consistent and has a nice staff that seems to care about their customers more than just for money. | 1 |
The soda fountain is so 21st century. A touch screen and a bajillion options for your soda. I review this first because it's the first thing you encounter when you walk into the place.\n\nThe service is fast, the staff is ok (I think the girl at the register was having a bad day because she just seemed 'over it'), and the food is tasty-tasty. I had the 'engineer sandwich' which consisted of turkey, swiss, and mushrooms (nom nom nom), and the combo came with chips and a pickle spear. I took it to-go as I wasn't about to hang out in a lobby full of rambunctious kids (all the more to you parents and kids, but it was too loud for me). \n\nIt's frequented by law enforcement too, as while I was there, I saw LVMPD and NHP vehicles in the parking lot and some officers chowing down.\n\nInfinitely better than Subway or Quiznos. Mmhmm. | 1 |
