Old Spaghetti Factory: the place where fat suburbanites bring their fat children to eat fatty, salty and bland pasta. The parking lot is a Camry convention and the client\u00e8le is as white as the bread that they serve with your meals.\n\nOn the plus side, kids love the trolley and they get to ring the bell when they finish eating. Always good motivation. | 0 |
Read my tips about this establishment...\nFOOD SERVED COLD!\nYoung guy manager, owners son or nephew comes over and DOES NOT LISTEN to anything my girlfriend has to say about FOOD SERVED COLD!!!!!\nSTAY AWAY!!!!\n\n0 Stars!!!!!\n\nFor Mexican go to DIABLO's!!! | 0 |
This place makes me sick. Eat here if you're obese. When your food arrives you suddenly turn full! You're staring at at least 5 lbs of meat. Seriously that's gross. Why would you want to eat so much meat. That one sandwich could feed a family of 10. The cold cuts weren't even that great. I had way better pastrami at Safeway. \n\nMaybe i ordered the wrong sandwich... but seriously did not enjoy my meal at all. One good thing about Carnegie is that they probably have the best fries I have ever eaten. Better than any fast food restaurant, better than the animal style fries from In n Out. | 0 |
I love when you're not a regular and they treat you like C$&). We showed up with 12 people in a bicycle tour (second stop, we were not wrecked) and they nickle and dimed us over beers. Was supposed to be a discount, and they could care less.\n\nSO many places in Scottsdale, skip this one! | 0 |
I've got a love/hate relationship with the Body Shop, the love being directed at their products and the hate at their prices.\n\nAlthough the Body Shop is quite a popular chain, I'm never amazed at the sheer deliciousness of the place everytime I step into one of their stores. They've put so much detail into each and every product I feel as though I'm in a one of a kind shop when I'm there.\n\nI've spent hours agonizing over their body butters, and my favourites, after trying quite a few indeed, have to be the coconut and almond ones. The body shop also used to sell a vanilla/chocolate smellgasm perfume, Amaretto, which I was sad to find out had been discontinued. Thankfully, the range of perfume oils definitely make up for this sad loss. \n\nThe current sales going on, which are even better online, have instilled new faith in me about the Body Shop, and they do seem to be undergoing a general price reduction. It is a little silly though that it would take a whole recession for them to come to their senses! | 1 |
I'm pretty picky when it comes to eating soon tofu because for one I hate smelling like tofu soup and kbbq and it sticks. If I'm going to eat something that makes you smell, it better be good!\n\nI found this place in chinatown and it was good! The soup was flavorful and they tended to my needs. I ask for a lot of condiments and I alter my food quite often. But overall, a great experience. They give banchan(side dishes) so its like little appetizers for you like most korean places. It kind of fills in the time you wait for your food. I always get the combination with the beef and seafood. The beef is tender and the seafood is just yummy.\n\nThey usually only have 1 working the floor so thats the downside. They get help from the kitchen but sometimes the service isn't as up to par if you're eating in. I have dined in but mostly take to go. I didn't dock an extra star and felt they deserved 4 because they don't forget my alterations and always make sure I have what I need when I pick up my food.\n\nWorth a try if you're craving tofu soup! | 1 |
I decided to try their brunch because it is my favorite meal and there are not enough Phoenix spots that excel in that culinary space.,I so miss Local Breeze downtown! \n\nWell, the staff and service were fine. Not exceptional but fine. The table was dirty when we sat down playing host to some salt and bits of vegetation. We dusted it off and soldiered on...I ordered the Veggie Omelette with egg whites and no cheese. It came soaked/drenched in oil and very light on the veggies.. For $11 it should have been at least ample..Very disappointing.. The Original Pancake House has a better veggie omelet. My girlfriend got the steel cut oats and she only had 3 bites.. just over cooked mush. We each had a champagne brunch cocktail, she a bellini and me a Central 75 both $9 dollars but made well. \n\nBasically this place is fine for booze and the bar scene but not for real cuisine. Such a shame.. Great location that Lenny gave up..Would have hoped for more. | 0 |
Avid yelpers....My husband and I saw the 844 averaged 4 star reviews and tried this place out. Yelp led us astray. It was absolutely terrible. TERRIBLE! We had the ceviche which was OK...then everything got progressively worse. I had the tacos- crane asada and pork. The carne asada was inedible- I literally had to keep spitting out bits of meat because they were so chewy. The pork was so dry I could barely choke it down. Handmade corn tortillas didn't help- so dry. Cheese quesadilla was bland and served cold. My husband ordered the torta- terrible quality bread- most of his meat was in edible and lacking in flavor. We were hopefully but this was The worst $50 we have ever spent. Spare yourself! | 0 |
I just walked out of this store. Three people all behind the and not one acknowledgement, even though one person looked me directly in the eyes. I'm sorry but I'll gladly pay a little extra for some help. This store needs some serious secret shopper action I can't believe that behavior is acceptable. | 0 |
I talked my gf out of our $5 lil arepas spot for this place after seeing it on yelp, and what a letdown. Worst food experience of our 5 days here. I dont get it I love korean food and bbq..Just everything was alright if not regrettable I was so let down by the taste of meats I love pork belly just not here Love bulkgogi not here..the seeweed with mayo got them to 2 stars..and the shrimp I cooked and seasoned 10 of them and left 9 and a half on my plate ...I was pissed for hours after we left, especially after not asking or looking at prices and had a $57 bill...No wonder our kind of nice waitress asked us leaving already? thats all? yes im leaving and thats all...dont do it there has to be better around town..major letdown felt like a slot machine that wont hit feeling..robbed dissapointed and mad... | 0 |
Excellent food. Good service. I'll be returning, often.\n\nWe ordered chicken empanadas as our appetizer. The crusts were amazingly flaky, the chicken tender, and the aji Amarillo pepper sauce had a nice bite. I'd go back just for those.\n\nMy lomo saltado featured tender saut\u00e9ed hanger steak, red onions, and tomatoes in a nice sauce. It was tasty comfort food. The French fries that accompanied them reminded me of Red Robin (meh), but were an excellent medium for the remaining delicious sauce that came with the empanandas.\n\nThe ceviche mixito my friend ordered was quite good. I sampled a few tender morsels, and only one had a hint of \""fishy\"" flavor. The rocoto pepper leche de tigre leant everything a delightful burn. | 1 |
My hopes for the enjoyment of delicious fluffy pancakes, topped with whip cream and delicious fruit, was dropped dead on a Thursday morning, all I can say pancakes were rubbery, dry, and they almost looked to perfect as if they were factory made, I do hope that the location that I went to is the exception to them all. | 0 |
This place has bad service, lazy waitresses and a negative staff! Do no come here for \""happy\"" hour! | 0 |
Another experience so upsetting it warranted a 2 star review. I went in ordered my choc chip bagel with plain cream cheese and sat down hoping to enjoy my Saturday morning. Took a few bites of my choc chip bagel and realized something was missing, CHOCOLATE CHIPS!!!!!!! After tearing the bagel into sections, (in order to see if i had gone insane) I brought my order back to the young guy at the counter and explained the error on their behalf. \n\nThis is were it became truly infuriating, he looked at the sections of chocolate chip-less bagel and tried to LIE TO MY FACE about how the chips get mixed in with the batter and somehow dissipate into invisible bagel oblivion. Insulting the intelligence of your customers is a cardinal sin in my book. If he had just owned up to it and been a man about his mistake, this review would have been drastically different. \n\nI am willing to try this place again and retract my low score, but it better be damn good bagel or i'm going back to Einstein's. | 0 |
Nice selection of accessories, but I noticed significantly higher prices (full MSRP) on guns... but the associate hinted that there was some wiggle room on the MSRP; I don't like to haggle on prices but if they have what I want, I guess I could do that.\n\nOne of the things I liked was the amount of Glock performance parts and accessories they carried: they even had the Glock knife and E-Tool.\n\nAmmo selection was amazing but, again at higher prices.\n\nThey lose a point for pricing, but if you are willing to haggle then this might be the shop for you. | 1 |
the bread basket was disappointing, the lamb main entree was pretty good. the duck appetizer was full of flavor. the margarita was so delish i got another. i would want to come back for drinks and light dinner. i'm a big fan of bobby flay and would like to try other things on the menu. | 1 |
Ordered a brisket sandwich and an order of baby back ribs and two drinks for 33 bucks. Over priced for the quality of the food. My order was to go and we ate the food about 15 minutes receiving the food. \n\nBrisket sandwich was horrible. It was so dry that I couldn't take more that 2 bites. Waffle fries were stale hard and cold. The baby back ribs we're ok but cold and they forgot the side item I ordered. Will never go back. | 0 |
- They played classic piano music by Daniel Barenboim which made the Asian experience incomplete! \n- Dumplings were flash pan-fried with old oil..one can smell it.\n- Sushi rice was not nicely prepared. - Service was not friendly + any order that was ready was brought to the table regardless if we finished starters/soup or not. \n\nI dont know about sushi standards in Edinburgh because every time I walk down the street I see the place packed?! Maybe I ordered the wrong stuff.\nThe only good thing was the wassabi coated nuts and the miso soup. | 0 |
Yesterday was National Hamburger day, so it was my patriotic duty to partake in this directive. I was greeted by a smiling hostess and proceeded to the bar where an NBA playoff games was playing on the flat screen TV. I made it in time for happy hour but no hamburgers other than sliders were on the menu. \n\nThe Hawaiian is what I wanted and at around $9.00 I was ok since it came with Onion Rings. Order arrived with 4 yes 4 onion rings. I asked the bar tender/ waitress if this was it, and she assured me it was. She did offer me another side but I said no. Disappointed with the onion rings, I cut my hamburger in 1/2 and proceeded to eat. Frankly it was boring, slice of pineapple a bit of Teriyaki and 3/8\"" slice of onion on a bun that was as boring as the hamburger. Waitress brought me 4 more onion rings which were the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, others arrived at the bar, a heavily tattooed Mohawk wearing individual with girlfriend. Every-other word was F this F that. Ate my burger drank my Blue Moon @ $5.75 for 16 oz. The bill came to $16.33 and I left a $20.\nSorely disappointed with this chain that lost its way. 4 stars to the waitress who knew how to handle a disgruntled customer. In and Out would have been a better choice. | 0 |
I worked at a Joanns in high school, and I still love the company. However, this store is poorly maintained. I needed food coloring and a turn table for cake decorating. All of the cake decorating items are squeezed into an aisle with a pillar in the middle. Stuff was spilling onto the floor and I couldn't get my cart down the aisle. A messy store is normal for a busy Sunday, but I went in maybe 30-45 minutes after opening. I eventually found the turn table on a display in a different aisle, but there was no price. There were a variety of items on the display, and not a single one had a price sticker or a label on the display. It was like they put anything that didn't have a home onto the display, regardless if they went together. I walked around, trying to find someone to ask the price and there was no one to be found. There were 2 ladies cutting fabric, one at customer service and one at another register. The line to checkout was 10 people deep and I wasn't going to wait just to ask a price. Since they were out of the other item I was looking for anyway, I put the turn table back and went to Michaels in the same shopping center. It was a night and day difference with wide aisles, clean and stocked shelves and clearly marked prices. There were 3 people ringing and I got to my car with both items under 15 minutes. I even saw 3 people walking around the store offering help and straightening. I am sad to say that I will not be returning to this Joanns again. | 0 |
Amazing food selection, its big & fresh & cheap. There's no better place in Madison for fresh vegetables | 1 |
We only ate here a couple of times and I was very satisified. The seafood selection was awesome. I was really disgusted at Jungle Buffet in the end. \n\nThis new Asian Buffet is great! The only thing that was odd about this buffet was the strange locals who arrived in pajamas and spoke on the cell phone while getting food on their plates. \n\nHonestly, I have a lot of complaints about various places here in STV from the library to the rude staff at QT, slime at the Circle K fountain ice dispenser to the nasty food at Wok and Roll. Let's face it, this area is seriously lacking customer service and quality food.\n\nAsian buffet offers customer service and quality food. This Asian buffet is awesome and I am really grateful I don't have to drive to Chandler to get some decent Asian food! | 1 |
So we are at a concert inside the Mandalay beach. During intermission my husband went out to get Starbucks; unfortunately they were closed. He came back to our spot and handed me this drink in a cup; I was like this is not Starbucks. He said he did not have any choice but to order from citizens because its the only place open. His bill was like $18 for two medium drink. I took a sip and phew, it tasted like watered down peanut butter and the bitter after taste of not so ripe banana. It made my tummy rumble inside and we ended up not finishing the concert because I don't want to have any accident in there. I don't even know if its a smoothie or a juice because its not thick or icy, it's watery and tasted so bad. Not a very good first impression. Makes me not want to try to eat here because they can't even get their drinks right. | 0 |
Making a reservation well in advance, I expected great things from this restaurant with its tasty, rich dishes. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a let-down. Service was slow and poor; there were no apologies made by the server for her tardiness and she did not check in during our meal. It seems like she focused all her attention on her other four tables, willfully ignoring ours. \n\nWith regard to the food, we ordered the duck in a can and the pied de cochon. The first dish had a juicy piece of duck meat hidden under lakes of oil and a solid piece of duck skin with unrendered fat, and of course the foie. I was not quite sure how to attack the fat so I just ate the meat. The pied de cochon was actually served in deep, large bowl - it was that large. It was nothing special, just heaps of food on a plate with little thought to presentation. I thought the pied was also undercooked as I had trouble getting through the tougher and thicker parts of the skin.\n\nAll in all, not so great. | 0 |
The corned beef hash I have been missing since I left Denver is now in PHX! Made me do a little Irish jump and punch a hole in my wall. Hey, I'm Irish, I can say that! Snooze finally made it's way to Phoenix and it didn't take long for the Colorado transplants to find it as well as the breakfast foodies. Now if we could only get Root Down and Sassafras here. \n\nNow prepare yourself for a 30 to 45 minute wait for a table, but the complimentary coffee does help pass that time. Whether you are a pancake breakfast glutton or a hung over savory breakfast bum like me Snooze will have everything to get that morning fix. \n\nService here is just as good as the food. We had a couple mix ups with drink orders, but that never bothers me. Take some time and figure out your choice from the large menu, don't worry if you wanted to try a couple things, you'll be back! | 1 |
This place is really small. The bartenders can't make a good drink. The music was alright. For the lack of alcohol that they pour, the drinks are expensive. \n\n\nThe decor is kind of cool. If you like the typical scottsdale trash crowd, you'll fit right in. \n\nI've been here three times unfortunately, and that is more than enough. If you do go, try Tuesday or Thursday night. Weekends are a nightmare. | 0 |
SURF The Musical was great! \n\nThe cast is really strong and the \""leads\"" are particularly good. What I really liked was that you don't have to be a hard core Beach Boys fan to enjoy the production. The special effects are something you have to see to believe. There is one scene with a Ferris Wheel that will blow your mind. I'm still talking about that scene with anyone that will listen; it's that good!\n\nIt's also refreshing to see something completely different in Vegas. Let's face it, those \""other\"" shows are good, but they've been running a long time. If you're looking for a high quality show with a great story line (writing is top notch), go see SURF The Musical.\n\nThis is a great option for all ages due to it's G rated content. If you're not singing Beach Boys songs after seeing this show during the remainder of your trip, you'll be the first! | 1 |
I love the direction downtown is heading in, and I thought Commonwealth would be a great addition. The decor (both downstairs and upstairs) are nice, but the rude staff/supervisors and the insane prices ($9 for an Abita apricot ale??) make this place not worth it. The mixed drinks literally do not have alcohol in them, and when I tried to politely speak to a female supervisor about it, she said alcohol does not have a smell. My friend ordered a plain vodka shot and it literally had no smell and tasted like water with a couple of drops of vodka. I will not be returning to Commonwealth unless I hear of some major changes in customer service and liquor service. | 0 |
I have dined twice for their sandwiches, and they are average at best. Haven't sampled their hot dogs or hamburgers yet, maybe that is their strong point. However, they have a HUGE selection of bottled pop. And they have FAYGO, in glass bottles made with cane sugar. Excellent! If you haven't had faygo go and try a bottle. | 1 |
This is not a particularly good Chinese takeaway. It is greasy, not massively cheap and for some reason it takes ages for even the simplest dish. As the other guys have already said the spring rolls are terrible, but surprisingly the duck spring rolls aren't actually that bad. I have no idea how there is such a difference but Chinese takeaways are often a mystery to me. The noodles are average and for an extra 10p you can have them in sweet chilli sauce which is actually quite nice.\n\nOverall the food is pretty average and what you would expect from a takeaway but the thing that ruined it for me was the service. The young guy there is ok but the older woman is really rude and comes across as being really patronising. This was compounded by the fact that when I got home I realised she had written down my order wrong and I had a mix of what I wanted and another rogue dish. Grumble grumble | 0 |
I found this salon on yelp. I wanted to curl my hair and I checked the website and the price. It was up up to 60 and more reasonable compared to the other salons in Tempe. So I called them and asked them the price again to make sure. I told them my hair is short and this is the first time I am doing perm. Donna worked on my hair for 2 hours and a half. She was so friendly and asked many questions which i did not like to answer. She told me she has to trim my hair a little bit because it splits. After she was done she showed me the bill and I was shocked! 110$ for perm for short hair?!! She charged me for perm for medium hair (my hair is really short not medium) and for hair cut ( the trim as she called). I just came from salon and felt bad and disappointed. the perm style is not what I wanted and showed her on my laptop. when I woke up this morning my hair was straight again. the perm did not last!! \nShe told me she will give me discount next time but I am not going there again. I do not recommend this salon. But If you want to go there ask them about the price first because they overcharge you. and one more thing, do not go there for perm. | 0 |
DON'T DO IT !! See my previous review ----- Run to a Casino Chapel and do it there !! The staff here was rude to my guests, made me feel rushed, didn't deliver everything they promised in the package I paid for. \n\nNO PHOTOS allowed WHAT SO EVER - a wedding I went to at Treasure Island allowed guests to take Photos and Video of the Special Event. These guys have to figure out a way to squeeze every dime out of you so they have some lynch man running around the parking lot telling you No Photos !! Read the Sign !! He was not the only rude member -- Did I mention our guests had to wait in the Parking Lot in the Vegas till we were \""Next\"". \n\nJust go to the Casino Wedding Chapels !! You'll Be Glad You Did. Learn from MY MISTAKE !! | 0 |
Sometimes I don't like to go in because it seems dirty and some of the staff looked real tweaked. Kind of a nice humidor but don't expect real knowledgeable staff to be of any assistance. I think a raid of this place would turn up some unmentionables. Proceed with a bit of caution | 0 |
Went here with a group of 16 and found the food and service very good, despite our numbers! Everyone enjoyed what they ordered and prices don't need to be expensive if you order from the table d'h\u00f4te which had some great selections. Would plan a return visit if in the area or reccomend it others looking for great dining experience. | 1 |
Love this place! Say at bar and enjoyed the great jazz band with the tap dancer on the piano..the beautiful singers! Took me back in time!! | 1 |
Service is horrific!!! The food isn't the best but the service sucks. Thank god L & L BBQ is near by. Don't waste your money at DTs!!! | 0 |
Talk about great customer service in unforeseen circumstances. I was at Stand Up Live last thursday to see Amy Schumer headline. When the show did not kick off on time began to think something was up. Not long after the owner came out and announced Amy was sick and on her way to the hospital. He said to make it up to us not only would the show continue that night but we would be refunded for our tickets, given tickets to see Jeff Ross the following weekend, and when Amy reschedules free tickets to that show. Just the refund and Ross tickets would have been plenty.\n\nBut them making it up to us didn't end there. After the feature comedienne who opens for Amy and would have been last up they announced they had somebody who wanted to send us home happy and brought out Kevin Farley (Chris's brother) to do a set. When he was done they said they had 1 more surprise and out walked David Spade (who I had known was in attendance from seeing a table reserved for him when I went to the bathroom pre-show).\n\nFarley and Spade were great and wanted to make sure everybody went home happy and we did.\n\n Only reason this places looses a star is because the seating is very cramped with 4 people to a table designed for 2. However the service was nice in that they automatically asked about split checks so you don't have to worry about trying to split a check with strangers like some other places *Cough*Tempe Improv*cough*. There were times when we wanted out servers attention and couldn't get it due to the odd seating and him not checking back for awhile at a time.\n\nReally my experience was a 4.5 star and they handled a tough situation in excellent fashion. Highly recommend checking out a show here. Ticket prices aren't bad and drinks were decent. | 1 |
I (used to) love this bar, but it's gone downhill in terms of service and clientele. We went out for a friend's birthday last night and I was surprised to find that a bar that prides itself on being a neighborhood-type, country bar now charges a cover. (For guys, at least.)\n\nI love the live band and last night was no different. They rocked. I was disappointed to find that the crowd was nearly half the size of what I remember though. The place used to fill up. Maybe it's the cover that's turning people away? \n\nOr maybe it's the bad service....\n\nAt the end of the night, we had a difficult time flagging down one of the many bartenders to close our tab because they were preoccupied with cleaning up. When we finally got one's attention, she rolled her eyes, asked for our last name and then replied: 'You opened your tab wayyyy on the other side of the bar.' She rolled her eyes again and then reluctantly fetched it, because, you know, that's her job, and then slapped it down on the bar top before us without so much as a thank you.\n\nWe noticed there was a charge for a Jack Daniels ($8.50 for one BTW. Forgot to mention that their prices have gone up.) we never purchased and when we brought this up to another bartender, we got the same amount of attitude and not a single apology. \n\nI've worked in the service industry and certainly understand how, at the end of the night, you're more than ready to clean up and get out of there, but that's no reason to treat your patrons so poorly, especially since the crowd appears to be thinning.\n\nI don't know that we'll be heading to Toby Keith's anytime soon. I'll take a good DJ over their fabulous live music if it means I'm tended to by a mixologist who makes me feel welcomed and appreciated. And maybe one who smiles. :) | 0 |
Great park for the area. I do wish owners would understand the staging area. If you leave your dog on a leash you gonna have a bad time. Between the gates is where you unleash. Do this so it gives your dog freedom and allows them to run and not start a fight at the gate with the other dogs trying to be social | 1 |
This is one of the better yogurt places that have popped up recently. It's right down the street from my house so I've been there quite a few times. Their selection is great and they're always adding new flavors. It's definitely a healthier dessert option than most things out there now. They have a GREAT topping bar and their prices are very reasonable. Would've been 5 stars but after spending about $60 there one night with a bunch of people, my member card wasn't even active the next time. So much for all those points. Definitely try this spot though!!! | 1 |
This place is awesome!!!!! I find most everything I'm hunting for and then some. On top of finding great new supplements that complement my training regime. The prices and friendly staff make this place top notch! | 1 |
JUst gets better and better. This time stopped in for afternoon Coffee and dessert. AMAZING OF COURSE!!!! Really, really great dark roast thick yummy coffee like I like. Vanilla bean scoop ice cream and freshly cooked HUGE chocolate chip cookie.Made my whole trip to Vegas!! This place is my staple. Normal prices, not strip prices. Plus, in the middle of a HUGE DTLV makeover. Can't wait!! I'm so in!!! | 1 |
This place had a nice and clean atmosphere, but the food sucked. My wife had the Guinness beef stew and she hated it. I had the trio salad. The seafood salad was minced to almost liquid and the chicken salad was made with canned chicken. The lettuce was going old. The amount they are charging, the meals should be more quality. If I returned it would be for a beer, but nothing else. | 0 |
Went with a group of friends for breakfast after a hard night of drinking (I think some of us were still drunk!). It was a Sunday morning and we were seated within 20min. The brought out complimentary french bread that was delicious! The order at our table: (2) Chicken & waffle, Sourdough Waffle w/Bananas and a side of crispy bacon, Corn-beef hash and the Bouchon French Toast. The Chicken (roasted) & waffle looked amazing and both friends that ordered it said it was! Gonna have to try that next time. The sourdough waffle was crispy, the corn beef hash was excellent (not greasy) the french toast had custard and apples and was amazing! Although very rich! The table next to us ordered the jar of smoked salmon served with croutons which I regretted not seeing on the menu. I have also heard great things about the salmon baguette, will have to try that next time as well!!! For the quality of food, the brunch prices are very reasonable! | 1 |
BEST COFFEE EVER\n\nLove this place.\nActually maybe a bit better than my other review of Victor Allen's...but I like their cafe a bit better. This is more of a place to stop by than to stay.\n\nGet the Ancora D'Oro for home, and the White Zombie for right now. (Almond flavor is my favorite) \nOr the mocha, which is heavenly. Seriously, the best mocha I've ever had. EVEREVEREVER. The chocolate has some weight, but blends perfectly to be a grown-up version of chocolate milk you had as a kid. \nThe White Zombie is a strange and beautiful thing. A \""white coffee\"" drink, it's light and powerful, you will feel like a high-powered cloud ghost zooming around after drinking this. They tried to change the name to White Lightning, but no one wants to feel a crackling electric jolt. Don't worry, the zombie will carry you through the day like a white flotaki magic carpet, smooth, airy and sensuous. | 1 |
I took my car here because it was overheating. I paid $45 for a coolant pressure test to see where the problem was and left my car overnight so they could have time to work on it the following day. They called the following morning to let me know that the top radiator hose had ruptured, and the bottom needed to be replaced, along with the thermostat (from the car overheating.) They quoted me $595!!!!!!!! Both radiator hoses for my vehicle run LESS THAN $20 each and the thermostat is around $30. I called about 5 other auto mechanics, one of which is a specialist in my car, and was told that their quote was absolutely absurd. I was told by EVERY other mechanic that I called that the labor to replace both hoses and the thermostat is less than 2 hours. Every other mechanic I talked to also quoted me at less than $300 (less than $250 at some) to do the exact same work. I have no idea what they are thinking here but I would not take my car here. The only nice thing I can say is that they were very nice upon my initial arrival and also gave me a ride home so i wouldn't have to sit and wait on my husband to get off work. I don't know if they quoted me this price because I am a young blonde female or because they just over quote everybody by double what the cost should actually be. On a side note, I am changing the radiator hose myself today for $15.00 (the cost of the hose) and all I need is a screwdriver. I might look like a dumb blonde but I know how to replace a rubber hose for less than $600. | 0 |
Absolutely amazing vape shop!! Great staff, friendly, helpful, and caring. If they don't know the answer they will get the answer!! Tried tons of different juices to build my flavor profile and juices range from low to hight on quality and price. Wide variety but the amount of premium juices they carry is amazing and they are cheaper than several in house juices in the area which advertise all \""organic\"". Would highly recommend everyone to get their Vaping goodies here. Batteries, mods, tanks, coils, juices, ect... A+ | 1 |
Being from the Chicagoland area I find it hard to find really good pizza in Arizona, but Ray's is an outstanding exception.\n\nRay's serves great New York style pizza! That is enough for me, although my fiance also loves their wings, fried zucchini and fried mushrooms, so every time we go we always end up with tons of leftovers.\n\nThe price can be a little expensive, but we find it to be worth it as the food is just so good! | 1 |
Had mimosas and breakfast sandwiches here. Our server lacked customer service skills. Our $13 breakfast sandwiches came out in to-go boxes and and bags. Wish I would have gone to Starbucks instead. I can get the same sandwich for 1/2 the price there and better service. | 0 |
After my first review, one of the managers finally called me. We agreed that they would send me a free night's stay because they \""Couldn't refund my card...\"" Since then, I have not received anything in the mail or any credit on my card, or even a phone call stating something has changed. I also read other reviews about the HOTEL itself. NONE of them were good regarding customer service when there were problems. GVR is going to go under. The management there is TERRIBLE. Shame on them... | 0 |
Clean and Modern Harris Teeter with a large hot food area.\n\nThey have great made to order sandwiches... the only problem is the line can get really long and moves slowly. I try to go an hour or so after lunch. I work in the area so I stop by here a lot for lunch and snacks.\n\nThe Harris Teeter Brand Bite-Size Cookies are awesome and cheap.\n\nWhat up with the \""SECURITY Section A\"".... \""SECURITY Section 9\"". I assume there must be a lot of shop lifting but I've never noticed.\n\nAlso, they have a GREAT Pharmacy. All the staff is very friendly; I've mostly dealt with Sarah and she is by far the best Pharmacist I've had here in Charlotte (very friendly and informative). If you live in the neighborhood I highly recommend using them over CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid. | 1 |
This was a huge let down!! It's in terrible need of a MAJOR cleaning which made me wonder how dirty the kitchen and prep areas were!! We will not be going here again | 0 |
Dr Lukas is the best. She's very gentle and kind to my parrots. It is hard to find an avian vet in Wisconsin and we are so thankful we found Erika. Staff is wonderful and always kind. The waiting room is always very clean and cozy. | 1 |
I love Subway - they have tons of excellent dining options and are a nice break from all the fast food joints in the area. \n\nI went into this restaurant the other day for lunch with my girlfriend, though I'm not so sure I'll return to this particular restaurant. \n\nObviously I was buying food for both my girlfriend and I, but it was pretty clear the cashier and sandwich maker didn't speak English as their first language. I had to repeat several parts of our orders, and the cashier rang up our sandwiches SEPARATELY, even though we were obviously together and I had clearly stated this fact. When I pointed this out, the cashier said something like \""I only rang you up for that one\"" and didn't sound too sympathetic or caring. And believe me, when you have as much stuff as I do crammed in your pockets, pulling out that debit card multiple times IS a hassle.\n\nNext time, I think I'll go the few extra miles to the Lake Mead Pkwy./Basic location. | 0 |
This is a tired old Dairy Queen with zero curb appeal, dirty, smells, and the ice cream is basic at best. Look a bit farther if you want something decent. | 0 |
I booked a beach cabana over the phone and was given a price in the $500/day range. However, on the day I checked in, I was charged $925. At least 40% more that their quote. I called today and they won't refund the difference or comp me a day. The supervisor, Michelle, said there was nothing she would/could do. Since when does the Mandalay Bay lie to their customers and steal their money? Oh wait. They're a casino, too. | 0 |
Let me start by saying that I love frozen drinks. I'm usually not too picky about them as long as they are well balanced. I have to say this place probably has the worst frozen drinks that I have ever come across. In my life. Sugar + chemicals + food coloring + alcohol = drinks at Wet Willies. :( Bummer. There is redemption though! The space is great and our server was wonderful. The patio is ideal for listening to outdoor music and enjoying the summer weather. | 0 |
They moved and are now at 99th & Greenway (I think it's Greenway--it's the same center where Dollar General is and they are next to Dollar General). They are in what used to be a dinner/night club place. \n\nI love their food; yes, it's average good, but you know what it is and they had Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast yesterday. For me, that's a wow. And they are always glad to substitute fruit for fries. I always go there when I'm in Sun City. People there work very, very hard. A+= for me. | 1 |
Ok I'm posting it here because it happened to be the closest one (and the one I just ate at) and I'm sick and tired of all this Roberto's is the sh*t sh*t!!! As you can see I'm not a fan at all. \nFirst off let's talk about what they do right: the staff at every location I've been to is very friendly and professional. They are courteous and quick and I've always had them get my order right. The locations are invariably clean as well. Kudos for that. \nThe problem for me is the food. I am a damn good cook - I make damn good food - and I'm from Texas. All of my grandparents were from Mexico and since I've been eating this food all my life I feel like I'm pretty well qualified to comment on this. Mexican food done right is the best food in the world. Done wrong - well if you haven't seen the episode of South Park where the dead celebrities are haunting Ike (Kyle's little brother) and Billy Mays's undead spirit is hawking Chipotle-Away because it can get the blood stains shooting from your ass at high velocity out of your underwear from the burrito you ate earlier - well let's just hope you don't ever experience the Mexican Screaming Shits. It's not pretty. It's actually pretty damn ugly. And it smells bad. Nuff said.\nThe food here is mediocre at best and I have found it's rarely at its best. I've tried a number of different items and each one is always greasy and covered in cheese. Now anyone who knows me knows my opinion on toppings, condiments and fillers. When they are the star of the meal, it's a sign of mediocre (at best) food. So why is everything on this menu loaded with it? Hmm...not a good omen but we'll see.\nI ordered a breakfast burrito here (sans cheese) and was less than impressed. Granted the sausage was ok - not great, not horrible, just kinda...meh. The burrito was hot and made to order, which is good. However, it was wrapped in a tortilla that felt like it had been slathered with lard and heated. How do you serve a greasy tortilla? REALLY??\nNow I've eaten at Roberto's several times since I moved here - my friends have always said it's great drunk food and the first few times I went I was a bit drunk so I guess I must not have noticed. The last bunch of times I've gone though I've been sober and every time I just like it less and less. I just cannot ignore that the only thing I usually taste is the cheese (which is not good at all since I'm lactose intolerant) and I'm just really not a big fan of things tasting cheesy. I had the burrito without it and - guess what - it was mediocre. It wasn't bad, it wasn't good, it was just...meh. Nothing about it shone. I couldn't even taste the pico de gallo which it was supposed to have. Hell I can buy a better burrito at Carl's Jr!\nThank you - but no. I don't think I'll be going back to Roberto's anymore unless I'm just desperate and can't find a Del Taco. It's really a shame, too. Oh Roberto's you had so much promise. Too bad you couldn't deliver. | 0 |
Restaurant was dark, warm and relaxing. Very zenful. We tried the rainbow rolls, dragon rolls, crab roll and a roll with fried snapper. We were a group of six sushi lovers and enjoyed them all. We ordered extra rainbow rolls as they were the best and freshest we have ever had! Definitely recommend this place and prices were very reasonable. You can also get free entrance to their lounge which opens at 11pm. Lounge was just ok--wish they would have played something other than hip hop. | 1 |
I enjoy this place. I usually go at night with a group of moms and we love it. The food is very good. I finally tasted the Evil Jungle Princess Beef that my friend raved about. It was really delicious. I love the Black Orchid Ahi Tuna. I went for lunch with my husband and we had a great time. The bartender, Paul is great. My husband's house margarita was really good. The prices are so reasonable. I can't wait for my next moms night out. | 1 |
A week ago, my lab manager surprised me with cupcakes from here for my birthday. He got us a dozen cupcakes, consisting of the following flavors: mint chocolate, peanut butter chocolate, chocolate fudge, chocolate buttercream, vanilla buttercream, red velvet, gingerbread, and lemon creme (see photo). What a delicious surprise!\n\nAesthetically, the cupcakes were beautiful--particularly the decorative details appropriate to each flavor placed on top of each cupcake. In terms of flavor, the icing was excellent--very creamy, rich, and dense, dominating the cupcake in terms of amount and flavor. The flavors really stood out--particularly the cream cheese flavor for the red velvet cupcake. My favorites were that and the mint, though every flavor I tried was good, which surprised me given that I'm generally not a huge fan of red velvet cake. However, the cake portion of the cupcakes wasn't as fresh as I'd like it to be, given that it was a bit crusty around the edges.* I asked my lab manager when he'd bought the cupcakes, and he said he'd picked them up the day before and kept them in the refrigerator overnight, so I'm not sure whether the cake portion is fresher when served. *See edit below.\n\nOverall, I thought VPS did a great job of balancing flavor with aesthetics. If I were in the market for baked goods for a wedding, I'd definitely consider them!\n\nEDIT: I tried a fresh cupcake on 1/11, and it didn't have the dryness issue--in fact, it was quite velvety. Also, prices for individual cupcakes were pretty reasonable for a bakery at $2.50 apiece. As a result, I'm increasing my rating to 5 stars. | 1 |
Have been a regular here for years. Just ordered 48 dollars of food to go. We asked for 2 extra ranch dressing. The bartender re ran our card for the extra dollar. Seems awfully cheap. The pizza and wings are already overpriced.spoke to the owner about the charge and he couldnt care less. We come here 2 or 3 times a month and spent 50 bucks a pop. Never again . I dont understand why an owner would tell a customer tough shit, I dont care what you think. You dont like it go somewhere else. | 0 |
Rude staff , our appointment was at 1:45 it is 3:21 and we are still here this is ridiculous never coming back | 0 |
I am a fan. The cheeseburgers are fantastic, the beer is super cold, and the service is reasonable. The atmosphere is bright and open with plenty of TVs and a large patio. The location is also superb with countless nightlife options within walking distance. Ice buckets built into the tables is a neat idea. | 1 |
Great Cubano Panino -Paninis hot seasoned fries Yummy busy place 70 people dining in tonight at 7 pm Great Bartender -Tyler stays on top of your order. | 1 |
In need of a pedi and having to kill time to get my oil changed at JL... I walked in Rose Nail hoping to get a decent pedi.\n\nIf you're in the area and looking for a pedicure that won't broke your bank... rose is a good option.\n\nNo wait that day for me.\n\nDecent pedicure matching the price point. Clean too! | 1 |
Rude security but great beer. | 1 |
Gluten free crusts -enough said! I liked my garlic topping and the wings with medium sauce were great. Carried out, but you can eat in-casual dining-strip mall. Cost \nwas a little on the higher side for pizza. | 1 |
I've been eating here since just a week or so after they opened, and I gotta say I'm hooked. I really have to hold myself back from eating here more often, because it's really the best thing in this area. Everyone who works here is super friendly and quite cool. My advice when you stop by for the first time: make sure your hands are free, because when you walk in and they hand you a piece of meat they just cut, you don't want anything standing in your way. So far I've had the brisket, sausage, and a taste of the turkey. No complaints yet. My wishes: Mac n Cheese and cornbread for sides, but really the meats speak for themselves. | 1 |
Nachos were horrible. Bar was fun with lots of half naked women. Beer pong was great. Don't eat here, just have some beers. Average at best if you want to watch the game. Big screens not HD. | 0 |
Some of the best service I've experienced during my 5 day trip here. We had the short rib potstickers and kale dip for appetizers and each got fish as an entree. Very fresh, colorful, and with lots of good seasonings. The place is quite spacious which makes for quick seating even without a reservation. I enjoyed it and would certainly visit again. | 1 |
Pretty good! Got a whole chicken to myself, was a pretty satisfying dinner. Eat it fast, the chicken dries out quick. I'll definitely get it with extra spicy sauce next time, they seem to skimp on the sauce. | 1 |
Had breakfast this morning and was very disappointed. I am a big fan of Guy Fieri's and went out of my way (passing 50+ other competitors to visit his new Vegas restaurant.\n\nThe food was very tasty and the portions were good however the service was not what I expected from one of his restaurants and that alone took away from our overall experience!\n\nHostess experience was average. Seated immediately outside.\n\nWaited 14 minutes for waiter to approach me. No hello, no welcome to our restaurant! \""Have you decided?\"" is all I got.\n\nAnother 17 minutes go by and the food finally arrives luke warm. Normally this wait might not seem like much but most other tables already had their food so the kitchen couldn't have been \""slammed\"".\n\nNo refill on water.\n\nDone eating. Waited more than 15 minutes for waiter to return so I could get the check.\n\nTons of dirty tables with nobody cleaning off the dirty dishes. \n\nNote to waiter: Pull up your pants Sai! Nobody wants to see your boxers!\n\nThis shows that no matter how good the food - bad service takes the cake and leaves a lasting impression.\n\nSorry Guy! I am still a big fan though and I will continue my journey to your other eating establishments. | 0 |
Well i will say first off that I have stayed at this hotel before and I thought it was decent for the price and age. Is it a luxury stay as if you are in the big name casinos on the strip? No, but for the price it is not a bad place. The last trip to Vegas we got a Groupon deal which was nice. However; after watching numerous episodes of #HotelImpossible it has made my attention to detail a little better. Overall the room was clean but the cabinets and picture frames look as if they were not dusted in a few weeks or better. The bathroom was clean by a child's standard but it could have been done a bit better. Outside of that it was clean enough for me. The only other thing i would say is that when i asked for a few extra towels for the room i was challenged and given a hard time before receiving the towels. The casino was clean, but a dated and the drink staff were great. Would i go back? Definitely, it is in a decent location within walking distance of other casinos and the convention center and the pricing is good. | 0 |
Food was good but service rather slow as the bartender was the only person covering the restaurant. He was a nice guy, just shouldn't of had to carry the load. | 0 |
We ate the Grand Lux Cafe on two separate days. One was before clubbing and the second was after clubbing. There are too many options on the menu that you would have to ask the waiter to give you extra time to choose which one will satisfy your appetite.\nI had a plate combination of shrimp scampi and sirloin steak for dinner. The scampi was really good that I intend to try and make it at home. I requested for my sirloin to be medium rare. I wished it was redder. I probably should have asked for rare. But it was just sirloin so I guest that was okay. If it was ribeye or filet, I'd throw a fit! Price is reasonable. I don't quite remember what happened when he we had breakfast here, which was after clubbing, I know I paid my bill though...haha. Reserving a table before coming to the restaurant would be best. | 1 |
We came here for the open bar. Except we only got 2 drinks because there were so many people fighting for the bartenders attention. It took around 20 minutes to get drinks. Only 1 person working at the side bar? I don't even know what the management was expecting. \n\nLavo is very small. The dance floor is small, so many areas are roped off for VIP. The rest of the areas are pretty tiny too, but I guess that's okay because it forces me to stand closer to my friends and thus, less yelling at each other over the loud music. Music is mostly Top 40, quite a difference from the EDM clubs of Vegas. I was surprised when hip hop came on and people got down and dirty. It's hard to grind when you're jumping up and down, fist pumping to house. \n\nOne word can describe this club: Meh. Come if you have nothing else to do and you want to kill some time before going to the other clubs. | 0 |
TL;DR: Worst meal we had in Montreal. For the love of Montreal, avoid this place. The smoked meat is dry, the poutine nasty, the vibe fake. Listen to the bad reviews here.\n\nThis was our last meal in Montreal, and the worst. We came here to try and combine our need for more poutine and smoked meat before the drive back to Toronto. We opted for the (you guessed it) smoked meat poutine, but also a pickle and the coleslaw. \n\nPoutine: Every element of this dish was poor quality. Don't listen to the people trying poutine for the first time, what do they know? The smoked meat was dry and relied on the gravy. The fries were under cooked and dense-potato (a good sign they were not blanched), the gravy was supppper salty and a bit corn-starchy thick, the cheese curds were still tasty, but the worst quality of all cheese curds we ate in Montreal as they had no squeak.\n\nThe pickle was a normal jarred pickle, I doubt they are homemade and they didn't even select a high quality brand. The coleslaw was lettuce heavy and had clearly sat in the dressing for a while as it was pickled and lacked much crunch. \n\nService was friendly enough but the whole vibe was forced like they were trying to live up to the \""you gotta eat here\"" T.V show. Maybe it was the American family eating near us, but it was the first time all trip I didn't feel like I was in Montreal. When another table asked what their specialty was, the server said the steak, so maybe they even know Schwartz is better at smoked meat. | 0 |
A disaster!! Limited unattractive items on the menu... Don't even lose any time going there! They have an identity crisis: are they upscale or not? Service was good, so was the music! | 0 |
This place needs to make up its mind what it wants to be. The name infers that it's a bar serving bar food and beers on tap. We walked in for dinner yesterday on a Saturday night and in the bar was a guy in his 30's eating a plate of pasta, a 4-top of women, 2 older gentlemen sipping on beers and 2 other 50ish women having a deep conversation. I had to verify the day of the week with my husband...yes it was a Saturday not a Tuesday. They did have some local beers on tap which I appreciated. The NBA Finals were on the big screen, which I would assume most bars would have. A few minutes into our visit, we figured put why it was so empty. A lounge act gets in front of the mic and proceeded to play a set of the most depressing music possible. We ate and left quickly. I doubt we will be back and can't imagine this place staying open for long anyway. | 0 |
We fell in love with Pho in San Francisco, where we found it Gluten Free for my daughter who has Celiac Disease. The owner made Gluten Free Pho and ensured no cross contamination. She was aslo able to eat the spring rolls but, not the peanut sauce. We all liked our respective Pho. We had great personal service. We'll be back. | 1 |
We all choose our career. And just because you wear a uniform or chose a job where people hate at you and shoot at you, doesn't necessarily automatically earn my respect. \n\nMany cops these days go into the profession for all the wrong reason including a stint in the military, no college education or simply a job where they want respect and authority without earning it. This epitomizes the Phoenix PD. Jack Harris was a bad police chief, Danny Garcia is a bad police chief and all the assistant chiefs can't manage, can't lead and deserve no respect. Corruption runs rampant. Nepotism is part of the culture. Ineptitude runs this department. Never talk to them. Never be a witness to anything for them. Never call them for help. Hire a lawyer before you EVER speak to a cop - let alone a Phoenix cop. Remember who is hired to protect whom and remember who works for whom. | 0 |
So I was attending some trade shows and CES which is not that far, but you still have to come back to the rooms and sleep. The bathroom was smelly and the bedroom had another kind of smell. I know you don't expect anything for 60$ but seriously guys charge 20 more and make the rooms livable. | 0 |
Officially the world's most confusing department store. And therefore the most annoying.\n\nFor some reason, rather than being one whole shop this place is laid out as two individual shops back to back - a Princes Street side and a Rose Street side. Consequently, you spend 99% of your time inside trying to navigate to the floor where you want to get to as opposed to actually shopping. \n\nAll I wanted was a dress and yet it took me a good fifteen minutes of wandering around in circles before I finally gave up and asked a sales assistant before I eventually found the womenswear bit. But this brings me to my next grumble: as far as Debenhams go, this one is really small and so there's really not much selection ot choose from. | 0 |
I had a slow leak and found the culprit in my rear passenger tire...damn nail. I was on my way out of town and I needed it fixed. \n\nSurprised to see how busy it was, the line at the free air check station was 3-4 deep. I parked and walked in and waited my turn for one employees to finish with a phone customer or someone in person. Once one became available I was greeted politely. When I mentioned how busy they were, he said this was nothing, that the weekends and Mondays were much busier. [I dropped in on a Thursday before 11am] \n\nDon't expect to go through here in a hurry. But the service was courteous and very professional. Once they had my vehicle it took them about 40ish minutes to fix my flat. [That doesn't include the 15 or so minutes before I was officially assisted.] But in my experience that is pretty typical for many of these tire places. \n\nI do like the fact they have the free air check station. Nice touch! | 1 |
The entire casino and restaurant/shopping area was absolutely stunning. I liked the outside as well because of the eifle tower and giant balloon which looked gorgeous lit up at night! The casino area was pretty small. I enjoyed dinner at Le Proven\u00e7ial (not 100% sure on spelling), the chicken penne pesto was outstanding. The buffet had a souvenir drink stand attached to it where I bought an eifle tower filled with pi\u00f1a colada and strawberry daiquiri, it was delicious and different from other places. I honestly just loved walking around inside because it was so gorgeous, next time I go to Vegas I'd love to stay here at least for one night. | 1 |
If I could give less than one star, I would. The staff was rude and uninterested in any of the 10 people waiting to be seen. I waited an hour and 45 minutes before being being taken back to the exam room, but in all fairness, they did squeeze me in last minute. I don't mind waiting, but when I did see the doctor (after 35 minutes more of waiting in the exam room), he wouldn't perform the cyst injection that I specifically called and asked if he would perform before going in. He said \""the front desk doesn't always have the right answer\"". They refunded my payment, but wasted most of my day. I also think it's bad form to blame your staff. The person I spoke with on the phone said she asked him (while I was on hold) if he would perform the injection and he said yes - whether that's true or not, I don't know. Either way, I'd avoid this place! | 0 |
I've been looking for a place with pizza like this for a while now. I can't stop thinking about it! Unfortunately they are way out of the way for me but it's definitely worth the trip. Highly recommended. | 1 |
i've been here 3 times now, but i only come here on sundays to get the 1/2 off any steaks which is really good. i recommend the 18oz bone in rib eye cooked to your request. | 0 |
Please be aware when you buy a Nissan...especially from Larry Miller Nissan. They use Continental tires which have the worse record on the road. We have 18k on our 09 Altima (purchased from LHMNissan) and the tires are almost bald. From what I've found, these tires have tread/belt issues and are unsafe to drive on. We are in MN for the summer and 100 miles from a Nissan Dealer. I called the service desk and got a sob story. \""Sorry we cant help you\"" was all I got. Your warranty is only good at a Nissan Dealer...so if you break down in the middle of nowhere, you're screwed. We will never buy another Nissan again! | 0 |
NOTE: They have changed name to \""Wildfire Grill\"". \n\nMediocre food, awful service.\nWe stopped for dinner after our grandsons baseball game. After 45 minutes of waiting, I asked about order status and we talked to the manager, who told us that they had a couple of large tables and our order was coming right up. (BTW, there were two tables of 8 or so, but not that crowded.) \n\n More time passed and when the order finally arrived, the fries were cold and my patty melt was on rye bread not toasted. My wife's soup was all noodles, not much else. At least the kids liked their food. (hard to mess up mac and cheese I guess)\n\nManager came back with a gift card for \""next time you come back\"". I returned card explaining to him that I will not be returning. He left with an attitude of \""... well, I tried, you jerk.\"" No effort to make my experience anything but awful.\n\nI had to pay cash for my meal, since it took them another 10 minutes to even get me my bill, I did not want to spend another 10 minutes waiting for them to process.\n\nWe had been here before with much better service and food. Will not be returning. | 0 |
My recent meal at Blue Hound Kitchen & Cocktails is one that I wished could have lasted forever -- and with the abundance of dishes my companion and I were lucky enough to try (thanks, J. Lauren PR), it was a delightful time that still has my mouth watering.\n\nAnd the food isn't the only draw here, though Chef Stephen Jones' ever-changing seasonal menu is worth the trip. My companion noted the spot seemed like one movie character Ron Burgundy would love, with a \""stay classy\"" feel crafted with lots of wooden accents, sports on at the cozy bar, dim lighting, and comfy leather booths that make diners feel like they're in their own private little worlds.\n\nThe bar and restaurant, nestled into the Hotel Palomar at CityScape in downtown Phoenix, has big city views of the adjoining bustling CityScape atmosphere. The atmosphere is about New York City as you can find downtown, and on a Monday night, there were lots of suits, way more men than women, filing up the bar area. If you're on the prowl for a new guy, head for a cocktail here -- the selection is vast, with stand-out's including the oh-so-refreshing Floradora ($10), with gin, lime, raspberry syrup, soda and ginger; and the French Riviera ($10), with Dolin Blanc, Velvet Falernum, strawberries and club soda. The cocktail menu has a ton of diversity, so there's bound to be something you like.\n\nAs for the menu, Chef Stephen Jones recently revamped more than half of it, with locally sourced menu items that give all the dishes a refreshing taste. The latest menu is seafood-focused, and my pal tried the Jerk Cured Scottish Salmon with shaved celery, apple and fennel salad and a potato puree ($9 for a small portion). He said the fish was perfectly cooked, and the sweet elements balanced out the dish.\n\nI had to try some of my favorite soup, gazpacho, a cup of which came with the perfect fresh veggies garnish to stir into the cold blended soup ($5). I've had my fair share of gazpacho soups in Spain, and this was hands-down one of my favorites. It was thick and rich, which I loved, and perfectly flavored.\n\nWe also started with the Crows Dairy Goats Milk Yellow Corn Cake ($5-$10, based on portion), which was topped with a red onion jam and marinated spring squash. Everything about this was delightful, from the consistency and buttery flavor of the corn cake, to the perfect jam topping that was a pleasant surprise that worked. The marinated veggies added some savoriness, and I wanted more.\n\nI loved that all the dishes are designed for trying, since there are sampler portions of just about everything on the menu. My companion got a small portion of the Lamb Meatballs, with dandelion greens, potatoes, chickpeas, and red onion yogurt ($9). It's got to be one of the most innovative, fanciest dishes you could try at that price.\n\nChef Stephen also sent out an appetizer of Shisito Peppers ($5-$8), which is something I've actually never had before. The peppers were fun to nosh on and were tame enough for anyone's palate.\n\nI ordered a plum tomato flatbread, made with house-pulled mozzarella ($12). All the ingredients were stand-out and high-quality, but I've had a flatbread like this at St. Francis. Opt for the more outside-the-box offerings if you go to Blue Hound.\n\nChef Stephen was also kind enough to send out a lemon and fennel sorbet, which was light and refreshing and a perfect meal-ender -- even though I had insisted I was too full for dessert, I couldn't help eating every bit of my portion. The fennel offering was unlike anything I'd ever tasted before -- it was a really interesting flavor that definitely gave the dessert a farm-to-table taste. I'd give the dessert points on uniqueness alone.\n\nNot only was it a pleasure to meet Chef Stephen and gobble up his amazing food in a relaxed but classy atmosphere, the service was also impeccable. Like the hotel it's housed in, Blue Hound Kitchen & Cocktails strives to make its customers feel at home, too. | 1 |
My wife is italian and from NY..... enough said... haha she went down memory lane at this place. we found this place by typing in \""best canoli in charlotte\"" well yup its the best. \n\n bought some pasta for Nanny... yup its approved! | 1 |
This place feels cozy, welcoming, and romantic - not what one would expect given the exterior of the building (in a strip mall). It's dimly lit, with little lights hanging from trees and vines. We sat next to a little fireplace, and the ambience was very nice.\nWe started with a bowl of small marinated olives and bread, and had the Portuguese mussels as an entree ($11). They were great, and we soaked up all the delicious broth/sauce with bread. I had the octopus and potato stew (approx $25) in a red wine sauce. It was flavourful, rich, and very hearty, and the octopus was perfectly cooked. Although it was good, I wouldn't make a meal of it next time (it would be nice to share with a group as an entree) - it's a little too much of the same flavour at one sitting. My boyfriend had the charcoal chicken plate (approx $19), which our waitress said was their specialty. It was very good (especially the bites of salad I stole to cut the richness of the stew ;) ). We also had a red sangria - our waitress' own recipe. It was great, and the service was friendly. | 1 |
I with I could leave negative stars..... Never had a good experience with this company! Also wish I didn't need to leave a negative review! Called for a cab and they made it seem easy.... They call me half an hour later to verify the address and then I have to call 45 minutes after that for them to tell me there is no one coming?!?! You couldn't call and tell me that? Then when I ask for a supervisor, they put me on hold for 10 minutes! Will be filing a complaint with the BBB! A company that would benefit everyone by going under! | 0 |
OH MY GOSH we had an amazing time. This place was so cool. I wish I were getting married so I could have my wedding her. I am so planning a girls night to Adult Education. | 1 |
I had driven by and seen the sign for this place a few times since reviewing some other Thai places, but just got around to trying it a few days ago. \n\nCorner Thai Kitchen is, fittingly, located in the corner unit of a strip mall. \nDespite the wall of windows, there is nothing great about the view -- parking lot and auto shop. But the interior is cozy and pleasant with a gurgling fish tank separating the entrance area from the seating area.\n\nAs usual, I ordered my favorite Thai dish, panang. And sticking to my vegetarian diet, I got the tofu panang -- along with my first iced Thai coffee. \n\nThe Thai coffee arrived in a tall glass full of ice and my first impression was that it had a smoked flavor -- as if the coffee beans had been smoked. It was also sweet and creamy. The more I tasted it, the more I enjoyed it.\n\nThe tofu panang arrived in a boat-shaped ceramic dish. Unlike other panangs I've had, this one had no peas or carrots, just red and green bell peppers, basil leaves, tofu, and the spicy coconut sauce. While I've never had a panang I didn't like, I can't say I've ever had a version I liked more than this one. It was delicious. \n\nThe waitress and the other staff were very friendly and helpful. The wait for the food was typical and the prices were reasonable. I'd recommend Corner Thai Kitchen to any lover of Thai food. | 1 |

Joes is old-timey. It's an old warhorse of Vegas, and well....it might not be at the top trend of 'look how cool we are' but it still kicks ass when it comes to delivering a meal. I've only been once and that night was with my family and a few family friends. We'd started at the bar drinking and had spent the entire day drinking and continued drinking...so there might be a bit of a memory lapse here...because we ended up drinking at Casa Fuente right after too. \n\nJoe's is hands down my favorite restaurant in Vegas thus far, and absolutely one of my favorite steakhouses I've ever been too (I'd say second favorite behind a Kansas City place). We did just about everything off the menu. Everyone save for myself got crab appetizers (I don't do seafood) \n\nBy then, I'd had a few scotches in me and we were opening up the wine. This was a big trip for everyone; trade show for me, trade show for dad, youngest brother just turned 21. We'd been planning on this trip for over a year as it was the first time all of us had been together since last Thanksgiving. \n\nJoe's is the go-to place for many in workspace my dad is in; they've been going here for close to 20 years. Hilariously enough everyone in the industry basically was there, either eating on the 'exterior' area or in the actual restaurant. I'd wager some of the staff probably got to see really expensive knives :/. I was in town for SHOT, so I was exhausted as hell. \n\nThis place basically propelled what was an amazing trip into one of the best family vacations any of us had been on, and that's including trips to the Caribbean and the EU. Why, you ask? \n\nService put up with us because half of us were well-dressed inebriated mid-20-something kids hanging during trade show season on a Saturday night. Our server, who's name I do forget, was fantastic and she did her job well. Right up there with what you expect for this town, if not more. \n\nThe steak is the best steak in Vegas I've had thus far. Sure, haven't been to Robuchon or Delmonico...but hearing anecdotal stories from family/friends most everyone continues to talk up Joe's. Every single male at our table ordered the NY Strip because that's how you do a damn steakhouse. We ordered about every potato option I think, and most of the veggies. \n\nNothing made it out alive. I seriously watched my brother cry happily in the corner as we were all having a meal none of us were going to forget. Mind you, we're from KC and we eat out a lot....we've had it nice and it's hard to impress every member of my family. This place was nothing new to the older crowd, who were all having their favorite steak in Vegas already, but my two brothers and I were having an experience. \n\nBasically; Joe's definitely is one of the best steaks in the country. \n\nGoing to Casa Fuente afterwards and then to some electronica concert at the MGM made this one of the best nights ever. \n\n10/10 will eat at drunkenly again after playing with guns and knives and stuff all day. | 1 |
