29,700 | 2 | first time coming in here for happy hour. i tried their prohibition cocktail blood and sand its a mix of scotch, heering, dry vermouth, lemon and OJ. Its absolutely delicious i had to have another round for $9 its absolutely worth it! We took a few shots of chocolate cake, it's ok for $9 a shot. i dont think it'll be ordering it again. Our bartender Bryan was ok. It was an experience because of the cocktails and the company that i was with. i wish their service was as great as their drinks. |
29,701 | 2 | Not my favorite club in Vegas but I had a good time here. We had bottle service outside up top. Nice view from there, our bouncer was nice, and the service was really good. If i was rating just this part of the club i'd give 5 stars. What I wasn't feeling was the inside of the club. Not sure what it's like every night but when we were there on a Saturday night the music was techno the entire time. I need more variety. |
29,702 | 1 | We were hopeful for a great meal. The view is great and the staff was friendly. The food, unfortunately, was not very good. I had to send my steak back because it was over-cooked. The next time the steak was raw. They ended up taking it off the bill. My friend had the pork chop and half of it was good. The other half was under-cooked. We will not be returning. |
29,703 | 0 | After doing a lot of homework and research on the biggest bang for the buck, knowing I wouldn't be using a chainsaw on a regular basis, I went with the Blue Max Combo. The first time I used the saw, I cut down part of a 16\" tree branch that was about 12' long. Needless to say the saw had no troubles and performed like a champ, only taking about 20 minutes to get everything cut up into 16\" lengths. I emptied all the gas/oil mix from the tank and ran the carb empty as I wasn't sure when I would be using the saw again. \n 9 months later, I needed the saw. I put in all new gas/oil and after about the 30th pull or so, I finally got it to fire and run. I was able to run it for about 5 minutes cutting up some 4\" branches. After 5 minutes the saw stopped. After continuously trying to get it restarted for 3 days, I finally gave up. I took the saw to 2 different highly recommended small engine repair shops and they both told me the same thing almost word for word. \" We can't fix it, that saw is Chinese garbage. Take the saw back to Sears, they should take it back.\" \n I took the saw back to the same store, with receipt in hand, and explained to them what was going on. BUT.. due to company policy, 50 days had past since purchase and they would not allow me to return it. I don't think I need to explain the words exchanged with the manager after not even getting 2 uses out of the saw.\n Sears will guarantee a life time replacement on the AMERICAN products that they sell, but not on anything else, including the saw. \nLesson learned....... Never buy from Sears again, and never buy a Boy Toy to do a mans job. Now I am off to spend $500 on a Stihl saw which is what I should have done in the 1st place.\nMy recommendation is to NOT buy this saw because of the value. It is valued because it is a foreign made saw, and once it stops working, that's it, its junk, you have to throw the saw away and the $189+ you paid for it. Needless to say, I won't be spending my $ at Sears ever again either. |
29,704 | 3 | I'm not a big wing fan. That is, I love wings, I loathe the work it takes to get a bite of meat off that tiny bone. I do like to eat with my hands, though, and I enjoy getting messy while doing it. Not to say I eat like an absolute slob, but I don't mind a little trip to the handsink after devouring a handmeal.\n\nWhat? Anyway ... the saving grace, the reason that I'd make a trip to Buffalo Wild Wings given the fact that I don't enjoy eating standard wings is because they have *drum roll* BONELESS WINGS! Okay, okay, they're chicken strips. Whatever. They've got 'em, and they offer 'em in all the tasty sauces they serve the regular wings in. Parmesan Garlic boneless wings and a beer? That's fancy cookin' right there. Have me a big ol' time. \n\nLike my Granddaddy would say, \"They's fit t'eat.\"\n\nBut, I agree with Crystal, as for the atmosphere and service? I don't much care for sports-type bars, and I like to be, you know, waited on. |
29,705 | 4 | Great local business! |
29,706 | 0 | So disappointed ! We read the reviews and headed over, thinking about Lobster Tacos.\n\nParking was a nightmare, poor signage for those of us from out of town. Strolled the grounds looking for the entrance to the resturant, beautiful grounds with all the Christmas lights maned carousel. The aromas in the air as we entered we so inviting. \n\nThe hostesses were very friendly, but seem surprised we'd be there to dine when we weren't staying there. Sat us right away, in the corner by the kitchen. The hostess was the only staff we ever spoke with. Water was poured then we sat and sat and sat and sat. After 10 minutes (maybe a little more) we hadn't received a \"Hello\" \"I will be right with you\" or any kind of greeting so we left.\n\n Perhaps if we'd been a guest at the Fairmont we would have had better service and we would of had the opportunity to experience the Lobster Tacos others raved were so good. |
29,707 | 1 | I was very surprised to be this disappointed in a Hampton Inn. The air conditioning never achieved a comfortable level even after having it on all night and we were quite warm in the room. I also noticed my credit card was overcharged by 15% and inquired at check out about this and was told it was standard procedure for incidentals and would be credited back after our stay. I suggested they inform the guest upon check in about this procedure and the staff just gave me an odd look. Lastly, when I arrived to their full service breakfast an hour before the service ended most everything was gone. I understand cooked items would probably not be replenished but baked items, syrup for the waffles and cups for the juice were not either. On a good note the bed was very comfortable and we slept well. The oversized jetted bathtub in the deluxe room was very nice, albeit loud, but overall this hotel is overpriced for what it has to offer. |
29,708 | 1 | Came back today to try this place out again. Was craving some chips and tortillas so I came down. Unfortunately, it will probably be my last time :-(. I appreciate the follow up comment by the manager, but this place just isn't for me. \n\nI ordered a chicken adobada taco and a regular grilled chicken taco. That, a small drink and 3 corn tortillas was almost $12 bucks! That is one reason I won't be coming back. Its way way way too expensive for what you get. The chicken was decent. The adobada was pretty flavorful and the grilled chicken was alright. Skimp though. $3.39 for ONE taco. The flour tortillas were good. Not as good as last time but still homemade and good. My side order of corn tortillas were just ok. Free chips and fixings were decent. The place was pretty much empty yet it still took a good 10 minutes for my food to come out. Meh....not the worst meal ever but far from great and nothing from this visit improved upon my first time there. I highly doubt I will be back. |
29,709 | 3 | This bar is the divey-est of dive bars, but it's a great bar. The music is decent, the bartenders & owner are really friendly, the drinks are cheap (and strong). Most of the people that go into the bar are regulars, and those that are not, are treated as if they were.\n\nHowever, it's not the most clean place in the hood. That, and the cash only schtic is kind of a pain in the ass if you have no cash & you're going there on a whim (or aren't prepared).\n\nMake sure to make your mark in the bathroom.. bring a sharpie! |
29,710 | 0 | Totally overpriced. It was so greasy it soaked 7 paper towels before we could eat it. Tossed what we didn't finish as it wasn't worth keeping for left overs. \n\nThe garlic knots and buffalo wings were good. But again, not worth the price. |
29,711 | 4 | best chipotle in the nation. quick and nice and put alot of stuff in. i came in for 2 weeks straight and they gave me 1 meal free. whoopie. super busyyyyyyyyyyyyy |
29,712 | 2 | I dig the Cosmo - the restaurants, the lounges , the overall vibe of the place. The gf decided she wanted to hit the Cosmo buffet today so of course, I'm game.\n\nIt was a dange long walk from the parking structure to da spoon - no where near the other food places - why ?\n\nPlace was hopping even late in the day. GF opted for the extra champagne/ mimosa option ( + $8 ) - found out later it wasn't champagne but instead sparkling wine ( proseca ) - might be little nit picky but if it's not champagne, so don't call it champagne.\n\nAs to the food - i liked the concept but in the whole scheme of \"high end\" Strip buffets - the options were limited. \n\nHighs - french toast w/ berries; the ribs, braised short ribs, cheeses.\n\nlows - breads ( limited options and stale ) ; no crab legs ( WTF ! ) ; desserts ( too much chocolate ) ; eggs benedict. |
29,713 | 2 | This is the 2nd time I've stayed here except this trip was for my bachelorette party. My Maid of Honor booked a 2 bedroom penthouse suite for 8 of us girls. CON - not all one area. There are two bedrooms, 2 kitchens, 3 bathrooms, 2 living room areas, a king bed, queen bed and two fold out sofas. In order to go over to the next bedroom, we had to go through the front doors (not adjoining rooms either). PRO - staff was nice, our suite had 3 bathrooms which is always a plus with girls because we need mirror and counter space. We're just a short walk away from MGM. The staff was also nice bringing us room service far into the morning after the clubs.\n\nGood times, good times... |
29,714 | 2 | Food is fine. Atmosphere is casual. Beer selection was limited. I consider it a decent place for bite but, nothing memorable. They do have a wide selection of entrees if you have a large hard to please group. |
29,715 | 4 | Went with a friend to watch some college football... Loved it! Great vibe, great staff, and great beer. I ordered a flight to sample some different of beers (it was way more beer than I expected, for only $7), loved the IPA, loved the Pumpkin Ale, big fan of the Pale Ale. I'm not a coffee guy, so that one missed the mark for me, and I found out I am definitely not into sours. \n\nOverall, I can't wait to go back. They said they're about to expand the kitchen, which will make it even easier for me to stay even longer. Couldn't recommend the place enough. |
29,716 | 1 | first restaurant fail of 2011\n\nlila h. and i were in vegas for a fun girls' weekend and decided to treat ourselves to a nice dinner...we chose bradley ogden after hearing about their famous dessert on food network's \"best thing i ever ate\" and the many great reviews on yelp...to my (and her) disappointment, our dinner was so so\n\nfirst of all, i have to comment on how the meals were plated. everything that lila h. ordered came out with what looked like poo smears on the plate. i really wish i had taken pictures, bc it would really help illustrate what i'm trying to describe here. i know the kitchen was going for some artsy fartsy modern plating with sauces smeared here and there, but seriously, her pork chops came out on a plate that must've been substituted as toilet paper...i'm a very visual person and if it looks like there's poo smears on my plate, i'm going to probably lose my appetite just a bit\n\noverall, the food was just average, nothing special at all. as an appetizer, i ordered the caesar salad which was definitely tossed with bottled dressing you can get from the grocery aisle (prob the generic brand) and lila h's cheese souffle were just meh, a little too salty for my liking. for my entree, i had scallops that were, texture-wise, cooked well, but flavor-wise were extremely bland. lila h's pork chops weren't badly seasoned, a little dry, but like i said, the plating really interfered with my enjoyment of the flavors\n\nas for dessert...whoever the chef was that said that the banana's foster dessert-a-ma-bob was the best thing he ever ate, um, i will not be going to his restaurant EVER. what uncultured tastebuds! if that was the best thing he's ever ate, he certainly hasn't been around the block enough. if someone is going to vouch for a dessert on cable television, then i want ever single bite to be an orgasmic experience. my first bite was like the same disappointment a woman encounters when they meet an extremely gorgeous, charming man who ends up being a horrible lover in bed.\n\nmaybe i was expecting too much, because the whole dinner was anticlimactic. the only thing i enjoyed was the teeny tiny complimentary cup of butterscotch pudding that comes out at the end...i guess sometimes big surprises CAN come in small packages. |
29,717 | 0 | It's absolutely crazy to me that you have to argue with them to get the amount of sauce that you need for a to go order, yet when you dine in, its unlimited. Makes no sense what so ever and I will not return, I'd rather make the drive to the next closest place and go somewhere that appreciates my business. |
29,718 | 4 | Love going here on the weekend for sum awesome prime rib. We always sit in the bar area great service. The free bread it so good! If u have not been here u have to try it out. I also love the Logan's chicken plate. If u are a Mac n cheese fan for a side get it here Wow!!!! |
29,719 | 1 | Average. Just okay for me and nothing to write home about either. THIRD time trying breakfast here too. Probably go elsewhere next time. |
29,720 | 4 | I'm so glad we still have a record store in Champaign. Great, helpful staff. If what you're looking for is not in stock, they will order it. Orders are usually in within the week by my experience. They offer a really nice record collection and have great deals (sidewalk sales) on used CDs. Can you find cheaper prices online? Sure, but buying here shows support to not only Exile, but Champaign and the downtown area. The town is better for having Exile here...let's keep it that way! |
29,721 | 4 | Call me crazy but i think capriottis(las Vegas) has better Philly cheesteaks than most places in Philly!! Their capastrami and philly subs are mouth watering! They will not let you down.its slightly on the pricier side for subs, but the taste will make up for it.. |
29,722 | 4 | We were driving by trying to find a bakery and came across this one. So far it is the highlight of our trip! The desserts all look scrumptiously delicious. The gal recommended a few items, even gave us a sample cannoli! Just the cannoli itself is worth stopping into this place... Mmm m mm! |
29,723 | 4 | As the reviews of Casbah appear to be particularly long-winded ... the place is nice, fancy, organic-ish, alternating menu, nice atmosphere. Good date restaurant. Good food-lovers restaurant. |
29,724 | 4 | Amazing meal. At first I was skeptical because I've been to many buffets before, but $40 per person I expected greatness. I wasn't disappointed. By far best buffet I've been to. I was beyond satisfied. Their delicious prime rib and leg of lamb kept me coming back. They also had country fried steak... at a buffet?! Who does that?! The genius' at wicked spoon. That's who. Great food, great people. Nice casino. All wonderful. It was ridiculous. I will definitely come here again.\n\nFood: 9/10\nService: 8/10 (since its mostly self serve.) |
29,725 | 0 | My Traffic ticket 205$ I went this guy's office to give my ticket he wasn't there and I paid 50$ lawyer fee my court will be sep 9 he went to court yesterday to speak with judge and I received an email today that you need to pay 208$ my friends they got ticket from speeding their lawyer lowered the price they paid 124$ I spoke with him today he said that I did not give you promise that I will lower your fine if I wouldn't go to the lawyer I would pay 205$ and I would save 53$ +gas+time thank you for your business |
29,726 | 0 | HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, AND MORE HORRIBLE.....From the trampy looking hostess to the waiter that showed zero interest, our experience started out as a VERY negative one. Once the food arrived, the quality and size of the prime steaks was not the greatest. Who serves green onion butter with a herbed bread? What ever happened to plain rolls and butter. The mashed potatoes arrived with a layer of melted butter on top. The french fries had garlic (?) coating on them. STAY AWAY- A BIG ripoff and poor food! |
29,727 | 2 | the pho was good, but not great.\n\ni got the meatball pho just because you don't see that everyday, and the meatballs and broth were excellent.\n\nthe problem i had was with the noodles. they use thin clear noodles that break apart when you go at them with the chopsticks. if they switched up the noodles to something thicker, the pho would be right on with amazing pho i have had in nyc.\n\nthe service could have also been better - not because of the language barrier, but in attentiveness.\n\nso good not great - but will go back. |
29,728 | 0 | Worst customer service. I could swear that the employee that took our order through the drive thru had just woken up to take our order on a Sunday at 9:30 am. We pulled up to the window, waited three minutes at the window without being greeted or acknowledged so we just drove off and tried Tamales Guadalajara for the first time (it was so yummy!) Definitely won't be coming to this location again. |
29,729 | 2 | Burgers, fries and sweet potato fries were good and we had good service. For the money you pay you get more bang for your buck at 5 Guys. |
29,730 | 3 | Good food and very friendly service! \nGreat location at Scottsdale 101! |
29,731 | 1 | I live really close to this location and have to say that it seems to be getting worse and worse on the service. I understand that the servers are busy and they have full sections most of the time but when you wait five minutes to get a drink order and ten minutes before the chips and salsa arrive it is kinda bothersome. I can see if the place was completely packed but every time i come here it seems to get worse not better. oh and dont try to order anything ala carte cause just one chicken enchillada will run you over five dollars, are you fricken kiding me must be made of gold. |
29,732 | 2 | The food is good (except the beef and broccoli - which was bland). The BBQ pork is very yummy! So is the chow mein, orange chicken, and mongolian beef. It only gets 3 stars from me because they don't have the option for combos. When I go to a chinese restuarant I want a plate with like 3 things that I like on it. But this is not an option here. Which is sad, because I LOVE ALMOND CHICKEN, and my husband HATES it. So I never get almond chicken because you have to share all the food. Each dish is a large plate that you share among the table. If they would let me make a combo, they'd get at least 4 stars from me. |
29,733 | 2 | I have been here several times and I think it's pretty good. I like the bean dip that they bring with the salsa but I wish the salsa was spicy! I like to go for lunch since they have a $6.95 lunch special and there's alot of choices on the lunch special. Would I say it's my favorite place? No....but it's decent and the service is always good. |
29,734 | 4 | Pork buns are amazing! buns are sooo soft! i now crave them! And i got the street noodle #1. it was fantastic!! Definitely one of my new favorite lunch spots! |
29,735 | 0 | Horrible!! Waited in line to pick up ppd a full size car I reserved on Priceline. 1st tip...NEVER use priceliine! 2nd tip: check the mileage before you leave the counter. My car had 63,000 miles on it. Never had a rental car with this many miles whether rented for business or pleasure. Hertz is the wortz!! Going with Enterprise again in the future. |
29,736 | 1 | Sammy Hagar really needs to take his name off this place because I think I'm starting to like his music less as a result of dining here. The food is mediocre, but not poor, and is airport priced. The drinks and service really kill it though. Service is nearly always slow, and the drinks are some of the worst I've encountered. Even if you get a double, it's going to be weak, and then you'll be out $16 or so. How does someone who's in rock & roll, AND has his own line of tequila, have his name on a bar that serves weak overpriced drinks?!\n\nI'd go back to eat here if I'm in the mood for cantina-style food, but if I feel like drinking I'm going to keep walking. |
29,737 | 3 | We have used Nannies and Housekeepers on call services for the last 5 months or so. We started by using them while I was still on maternity leave for an odd night off. They always sent a highly qualified nanny to care for our baby. We met a nanny that our baby loved so much, Shelae, so we had her work with us for the summer before she went back to school. \n\nWe have just completed the search for a full time nanny. Nannies & Housekeepers sent us several resumes of highly qualified candidates. My husband and I were probably overly picky as our daughter is our first baby. Nannies & Housekeepers were very patient with us. I tried a couple of different routes (friends, co-workers, various online services) to solicit nanny candidates but the Nannies & Housekeepers candidates always had the greatest credentials.\n\nI won't kid you - it is costly. Expect to pay the nanny herself (which for full time services is 2-3x what a day care would cost). In my opinion it is worth it, because I want the baby to have one on one individual attention. Also, expect to pay the agency their finder's fee (which can be more than a couple thousand). I tried to solicit resumes myself and found that the agencies candidates were head and shoulders above the rest. My other resources turned up people without reliable transportation, without a real interest in babies, or people looking for a way to watch their own kids while watching mine. With the agency, we found candidates who would be dedicated to our baby alone - which is what we desired. \n\nWe have found our permanent placement nanny & are looking forward to having her for at least a year. I would recommend this service, first, if you have the money and second, if you are very picky and want someone to give your child one on one attention. |
29,738 | 3 | PHOENIX: This Aloft is great; these are my go-to hotels in any city, and this one is consistent with the rest. Clean, comfortable, groovy. They are design forward; makes other hotels seem boring and dated by comparison.\n\nThe parking is the only challenge, just a flat lot around the hotel, so come early. |
29,739 | 4 | Needed help with my brakes (had metal on metal sound) - Shawn (or Sean) and Sonny helped me out by fixing my van fast, and with stellar service. Highly recommend! |
29,740 | 1 | Lets get some things straight - I'm colour blind, and as such, I do not think I am able to experience what others experience in Joe.\n\nFemale friends who have broiught me in here go on about so much colour and how sweet and charming this place is.I just dont see the appeal - its all a bit tacky and shiny and just a bit... pointless.\n\nThe times I have been in here I have always seen people (mostly girls, but not always) excitedly survaying all items, and I just cant agree with them - biut clearly Joe does have many fans. |
29,741 | 1 | I fail to see why this place is called Tabu ULTRA Lounge. Inside the MGM, it was a convenient night spot for us because we were already staying there.\n\nThe line was short and somehow, we didn't make our way on the guestlist (a mistake on their end I'm sure). Once inside, it was quite crowded, with most of the loungy type seats not being used but just taking up space. It was hard for anyone to get our boogie on, but my group somehow pushed and elbowed enough people out of the way to the point where one could do the butterfly.\n\nThe music was alright, though I felt it catered to 30 somethings more than young 20 somethings. \n\nI guess if I plan on coming back here, I will need to drink much more. |
29,742 | 4 | Knowing I was going to be in Scottsdale today around lunch . . . I decided to find something different for lunch . . . and The Herb Box looked like it would . . . and it did not disappoint.\n\nWe first ordered our drinks and the Crisp Falafel Bites . . . they were to die for . . . crisp and warm . . . with herb roasted tomatoes and a variety of olives . . . to be honest . . . I could have eaten the whole order myself . . . and the passion fruit black iced tea . . . clear crisp and cold . . . the perfect pair.\n\nFor my entr\u00e9e . . . the butternut squash corn enchiladas . . . it came with a roasted tomato verde salad . . . which perfectly offset the richness of the enchiladas. They were warm and the corn mixed with the butternut squash wrapped in a corn tortilla . . . was so rich and creamy and delightfully packed with flavors.\n\nThe atmosphere was relaxing . . . so much so . . . that I almost forgot that it was a work day . . . I will definitely be back . . . and I might even surprise my wife, and bring her back here for dinner. |
29,743 | 2 | ok we are going to play \"it's a small world\" - Phoenix Yelp edition. ready? ok lets go.\n\ni live 100 feet from Portlands around the corner twice, i've had drinks here a few times, pricey but not bank breaking. they have a DJ who plays music here. this DJ's name...well fuck his name. but i'll quote a review on Yelp, Barrio Cafe, from Max A., \"I wasn't impressed with the guac - so what if some emo guy with horn rimmed glasses stabs at some avocados and other diced veggies with a spoon for 30 seconds?\" http://www.yelp.com/biz/barrio-cafe-phoenix\n\nlol Yup, that the same \"Emo guy\". haha. before working at Barrio' he worked at portlands. he's a cool guy, not really Emo. i know his Mother well, she owns The Root, http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-root-phoenix. which is where i get my hair cut. \n\nyea it's a small world. \n\nso back to portlands. atmosphere is nice upscale bar, resturant. outside patio available. the bar is circular and you sit around it like attacking indians surrounding the wagons in a western flick. its interesting. nothing outstanding. i haven't dared the food yet. and might not. i've lived here a few years and have not tempted this place more then a few times. so what's the point starting now.\n\n oh and if your a married guy living off 7th ave and Georgia, i know your secrets. {wink, wink} my silence will cost ya bud. |
29,744 | 2 | I tried this place for the first time today. I went there with a client and wasn't sure what to expect. First the service upon arrival was quite bad we waited a few minutes to be greeted and seated which is frustrating when you are on a time limit for lunch. We waited an additional 4-5 minutes for someone at the table to greet us and take our drink order. Also since this place is new and we were new, it would have been helpful if the greeter would have explained the concept and menu options and not just \"here's the food menu here's the drink menu\". So not a good start. \n\nThe decor is more Steakhouse than speakeasy but I didn't get a very good view of the bar since we were seated in the main dining area. I agree with another review we sat right next to a huge window and didn't get that dark/exclusive vibe that you would expect. Maybe if I go back for dinner service it might be a different atmosphere. \n\nThe burger was ok and I like the create your own option. I felt as though they should have had some explanations on sauces etc. Every time I asked the server another question he was kind but I could tell he was bothered by the number of questions I asked. \n\nOverall I was happy with the food but I wasn't impressed with my salt and vinegar fries. They also serve the burgers with coleslaw. I would recommend leaving this off the plate and offering it as a side. I personally don't know to many people that eat it and it seems to go to waste. I'd rather have the option to upgrade to a side salad or fries for a few more dollars.\n\nI would try this place again but would go at night and order a different style of fries. |
29,745 | 3 | If it hasn't been hammered into you already, the portions can probably feed an army.\n\nThings that I've had so far are:\n\nBacon, avocado, and cheddar burger: it's quite scary to look at. But it was amazing. I suppose if you love bacon, avocado, and cheddar cheese, it would be like the best thing ever. \n\nSausage biscuit and gravy pot pie: Yeah, I ate this over the course of 4 days. It was amazing. The pie part is shaped kinda like a straw hat. The first time I had it, the whole thing was like super crunchy. The 2nd time I had it, it was crunchy on the outside rim, but softish on the middle. I think I like that change.\n\nSage fried chicken: Omg, was like massive. This was actually my first dish here ever, and it was when it just opened. Unfortunately at the time (circa Fall 2010), the chicken seemed a little dry. Other people with later reviews have stated that it was better, so probably worth trusting their reviews if they've improved\n\nHouse smoked salmon hash: pretty good. It actually seemed to be one of their smaller dishes.\n\nRoasted chicken, garlic, onions, etc. hash: yea, this was pretty good too. This time the chicken was fairly tender.\n\nThe Kokomo: Let me just say that this one terrifying sandwich. It's a huge slab of some meat/sausage loaf on two texas toast with melted cheese and sundried tomato that's been soaked and sliced. Absolutely delicious\n\nMashed potatoes with bacon and cheddar: It's basically mashed potatoes with bacon and grilled cheddar on top. It's not mixed in, like I thought it would be.\n\nA bit of advice: if you go with some people, figure out if you want to split or not. If you do, you won't have to take home leftovers. They do charge 2.50 to split a plate, so order some side that you wanna eat that's cheap (or you can take home to reheat), and they'll waive the 2.50 split plate charge. Alternatively, you could pick foods that don't have something \"crispy\" that you won't have to worry about getting soggy when you reheat and just take that home. |
29,746 | 4 | Friendly service, brand new store, aka clean. What a Taco Bell should be. Also, there's a Long John Silvers attached. |
29,747 | 3 | Great time here this past summer. Great service by Bex, she made sure everyone in my group had a great time. Very crowded but what do you expect! If you come here make sure you look for Bex, she'll hook it up. |
29,748 | 1 | What a huge disappointment. We split a lobster roll and got 'The Connecticut' with fries combo. The fries were very good, for sure and the reason for what stars I did give them. The lobster however was the most over cooked lobster I have ever eaten. It was so rubbery that it was tough to pull apart. The staff was very friendly and helpful, very nice and respectful even. They get a star too! |
29,749 | 3 | HOHO CHERRY HOUSE, not to be confused with a brothel, offers average food at cheap prices. Fast delivery and friendly staff. No matter what protein you pick it pretty much tastes the same. |
29,750 | 4 | Beautiful costumes. This place has a huge variety of everything. The gal that was working gave me a 100% tour of the store. She was so sweet and I'm glad she walked me through the store. I will be back but now I can't decide what to be for Halloween! |
29,751 | 4 | It's hard to find a good auto repair place where you won't get taken advantage of. Because of the great reviews on Yelp, I drove out of my way to take my car to Chet's. I'm a young woman with an old car that I didn't want to put a lot of money into. I just need my car to last me another year or so until I can afford a new one. I dropped by Chet's without an appointment or anything, and one of the mechanics came out to the parking lot to take a look at my car right away (free of charge). He actually got on the ground to peak under my car, and he knew what the problem was in less than a minute. He answered all my questions, and I arranged to bring my car back the next day to get fixed. When I brought my car in to get fixed, the guy at the front desk recognized me right away and slipped me a coupon from their ad for 10% off my services because he knew that I didn't want to put a lot of money into my car. I was taken aback by his thoughtfulness. The mechanics kept me informed as they were working on my car, gave me the estimate, gave me their opinion, and answered all my questions. All around great service at a reasonable price. |
29,752 | 2 | I had gone to this place right after Guy was there and I ordered the #1 combination 3 tacos server with rice and beans I picked a Carne Asada, Lengua and a Cabeza... I remember not being so blown away I was really disappointed. So fast forward a few years to now and I say I need to give this place another try... I think to my self Guy was ranting about this spot... So I head over for lunch and it's really busy so I get to the counter and order the # 1 all Carne Asada tacos I go find a table and drink my drink my number is called I get my food and look at comment bar there is no salsa so I have to ask... I ask for both she seemed kind of bothered. Let me tell you these are no write home about tacos the salsa on the other hand I could drink both kinds it's really good. So I am not sure if I will be back anytime soon with all the other options out there... DDD just lets me down every time. |
29,753 | 3 | We have eaten at Macayo's many times over the years. We have always found the food to be fresh, perfectly prepared and the service fast.\n\nWe have our special Macayo's beer glasses that we take for refills that are cheaper than the the bar prices and they always clean them before we start and after we are done and wrap them up for us to take home again.\n\nI would say this is the best, most consistent Mexican place we have found nearby and have never had a bad meal here or bad service. They do a great job and we find at times we need our Macayo's \"fix\" and are never disappointed.\n\nIf you are there.......ask for Clenard, he is a fantastic waiter and just an overall great guy.\n\nWe bring visitors here and will continue to recommend it. |
29,754 | 1 | food was ok, not great. ambiance was directed towards older clients. cocktails boring. |
29,755 | 3 | Fairly priced, delicious ribs, generous portions, fun atmosphere, good service, great beer, yummy sides--What's not to like??? |
29,756 | 0 | This place used to be excellent, however their recent menu changes really show that they are not in touch with their customers. They do not make my two favorite items any longer. The garden medley salad with blackened salmon, and the margaritas flatbread. Not sure if I'll go back... |
29,757 | 4 | have been there for both lunch and dinner, i would give it a 4.5 star, but since it is a fairly special place i am giving it a 5 now.\n\nThe lunch was probably the best you can imagine. Great food, good service, and very reasonable price. All the dishes there taste so good, i don't even know what to recommend, basically just try anything you feel like.\n\nHowever, dinner was way more expensive. We only ordered three small dishes and that was already 60 dollars... Sashimi was just so so. The other two dishes are better but still a little bit pricey for what they are .\n\nSo basically i would recommend it for lunch, and try out their non-traditional japanese food, you will be surprised. |
29,758 | 1 | For a \"fast\" food place.. this place is not that fast.... Yes, it's pretty convenient right on Independence on your way out to Matthews... but I rarely have eaten in the dining area and mostly base my experience with this McDonald's with the drive thru.\n\nThere is rarely a time that I don't drive by and see a line of at least 3 cars deep in the drive through. Yes, it's a busy location, but even going through it... it seems like it should be a lot faster.\n\nMy roommate and I always joke and try to predict how long it will take to get thru the drive-thru based on the number of cars in line... most of our estimates get in the range of going out to a sit-down place. |
29,759 | 0 | I had bought a dirtbike a few months prior and got completely ripped off. The people are friendly and helpful but too friendly. They gave me an extended warranty and told me it comes with it only to find out that they charged me 700 for that same extended warranty plus other additional charges that added up to almost 1600 dollars. WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THEM AGAIN. |
29,760 | 2 | I ordered Chen and Wok for take out on Saturday. I must say it was pretty darn good! I will give it an a-ok for now even a 3.5, but will return to try more dishes. I'm sure it will creep to 4 stars.\n\nWhat I ordered: \n\nSweet and Sour Chicken- slightly dissapointed because there wasn't a lot of sweet and sour sauce on the chicken chunks. But overall pretty tasty.\n\nVegetable Egg Foo Yung- yummy! The sauce that it came in wasn't just a plain brown gravy, it was an actual sauce with ginger and other seasonings that took it out of the boring realm.\n\nHouse Lo-Mein- That was pretty good. The noodles were a little soggy but still flavorful.\n\nHouse Fried Rice- I would suggest getting any of the other fried rice that they offer. I was hoping for a good mix of all the meats but only ended up with 2 shrimp out of the entire carton. Other than that, the rice was good! I actually really liked it.\n\nEgg Rolls- I love a well seasoned egg roll. I only ate one, but wished I had ordered a lot more or didn't have to share my other one. Oh well.. \n\nFor about 30 dollars, I was able to feed 3 people HUGE plates of food and still had leftovers. \n\nI think Chen and Wok will be my new Chinese Takeout from now on! |
29,761 | 0 | As has already been lodged, I was asked for cash. He didn't resist but was clearly annoyed that I wanted to pay with plastic. He used some generic (read: not Square) payment system on a small tablet. Could have been a skimmer for all I know. I never got the receipt I was supposed to get so that'll be an issue for the expense report.\n\nI will skip Mayflower next time. |
29,762 | 0 | The best place on the Plateau...to get robbed and to be badly served! 3 bucks for one sip of coffee latte and the service to match! Too bad, the decor is attractive! |
29,763 | 4 | Went for a Valentines day lunch! So glad I did. It really is a hidden gem. My husband got the chicken marsala and says he will get it again the next time we come. I got the casa salad which was so good. But their bread and desserts can't be beat. We had a hazelnut gelato. So many good quality options! |
29,764 | 2 | Some of the items are hit and miss but overall not bad. I didn't really like the sausage but its all you can it, so if you get a miss just try again. I like all the varieties of sauces and herbs so you can make your dish unique and just the way you like it. It's a bit tricky knowing what herbs go with what but there are a few recipes you can follow if you want some guidance. |
29,765 | 0 | Oh Le Thai. I had such high hopes for you. I was hoping my experience would warrant at least a second trip. Alas, twas not meant to be. The problems with my visit began the week before I even arrived. \n\nYou see, I walked by, as I often do as a downtown employee. I thought to myself... \"Oh, what I wouldn't give for some delicious Thai yums.\" When my group and I asked for a reservation, you told us it would be an hour and a half wait. You took my number. You never called. I thought you may have heard about the 3 day rule and confused my spot on the wait list with a date. Anyway, I decided to give you a second chance.\n\nThe following week, I got smart. I thought -- big group -- get a reservation. So I did. Group of 6 at noon. You confirmed the day before and again an hour before. At noon, we arrived. You made us wait outside in the 90+ degree heat for 45 minutes. Then, you only could seat 4 of the 6 of us. You asked us to wait at the table standing until the guests next to us (who had JUST gotten their food) left. Wait, what?! You want me to stare at other guests to intimidate them into leaving because you are terrible at restaurant management? You want them to give us dirty looks when you rush them out of their lunch? Then, when I mention to you that we had a noon reservation you tell me \"we are busy.\" Well, shoot. I didn't know places that were busy didn't have to honor reservations. Wait a second.... you know who else is busy, and in fact, way busier than you -- Lotus of Siam. They honor reservations and their food is incredible. Oh and making us eat our food in the heat outside without misters was super bad form, BTW. \n\nAfter this hellish experience, I at least had hopes for the food, which was sadly mehhh at best. I had a rumbly in my tumbly all afternoon from your food. \n\nSo, Le Thai. I gave you a go. But, I'm breaking up with you. It's not me, it's you. Mediocre food isn't worth a headache. I hope my go-to-Lotus will take me back. But even if it doesn't, I'm still better off without you. |
29,766 | 0 | I had been a long time customer of Direct TV. I needed to cancel their service, i turned my boxes into a authorized rep of direct TV rather than mailing in the box provided. Understandably thats not their process, however the way they handled thecsituation from there was very poor.\n\nI have never deltwuth uncaring peole more except for in govt. they go through allthat bs about $10.00 credit each month for refering a customer. They dont give a phuck about clients. I numerous phone calls and not once did they show any customer service. I was considering going back after a period of time ( my wife and i had to take care of elderly parent for extended period in another state). They didnt care about anything other than there point of view. We werent in a contract, so we werent avoiding any obligation with them. They admitted to receiveing the boxes back, but wanted to tell me that if i didnt send them back in the provided boxes, they would charge me for unreturn boxes. I didnt have them, they did and they admitted it,but i still needed to return them. |
29,767 | 3 | Hands down the best cheesesteak in town, period. Even the two east coast guys I went with said it was as close as they had gotten from home. That says a lot coming from these goodfellas I was out with for Lunch today... |
29,768 | 2 | In response to the one girl complaining about not getting any foam on her latte, lattes aren' supposed to come with foam. If you want foam then you order a cappuccino.\n\nAnyways, I've been there a few times. I feel like the baristas there are kind of akward, well, ordering there in general is akward though I like the layout of the place in general. Many of the tables tip side to side but there are lots of outlets, music isn't too loud, and you can usually find a place to sit.\n\nI dislike their glass cups and feel like they lose a lot of heat that way. However, their ice tea is very good and it is hard to find good iced tea downtown.\n\nI only give them an A-OK because there are better cafes around but as far as state street I'd rather go to steep n brew than espresso royale or some more expensive others. Their coffee is pretty decent too and the price isn't too bad.\n\nAlso, many clientele are sketchy, especially in summer. Something about steep n brew really reels them in.\n\nIf you really want great coffee you should simply avoid state street and hit up Barriques, EVP, or electic earth. |
29,769 | 0 | THE FAST FOOD OF EYELASH EXTENSIONS! CUSTOMER BEWARE! \n\n\nThere's so many things wrong with this business. I went here multiple times to there master level lash techs, spent hundreds if not thousands on there \"featherized full set\" lashes. Had countless refills here. I was going about once every week and a half to 2 weeks to maintain a featherized full look but for what I was paying it was not worth it at all and was the biggest scam I have ever experienced in Las Vegas and I'll tell you why. \n\n1. This business is not in favor of the customer. They schedules are difficult and inconsistent with timing if you develop a preference for one if there specific eyelash techs and want work done by them you will only be able to book according to there overly filled strictly timed schedules. \n\n2. Once you give your credit card information to them, if you miss even a few minutes or have a serious matter come up to where you are late by accident they are very unforgiving. Even if you are there biggest customer spending around 400+ on full sets weekly. \n\n3. Once the lash tech is done. She is done. She is on to the next client and you can only check out. If you are not happy and need more fullness or missing a gap good luck. You will most likely be forced to reschedule at THEIR convenience even after you have payed hundreds on the spot. \n\n4. I've spent hundreds on a featherized full set but due to there \"time slot\" regulations I've only had about 80% of my lashes filled, and yes that's with a \"master tech\"and arriving on time fully. \n\n5. Since there booking is so random be sure not to get too comfy with a lash tech. You'll most likely need to get a fill buy another lash tech since there scheduling is very complex. \n\n6. This place defeats the purpose of a luxury service. Your basically bending over backwards to have synthetic mink applied to your lashes with an extremely weak glue that causes your lashes to fall out during the first week and ride out having gaps in your lashes for the next few until your next fill. My current lashes do not budge at all even after 3 weeks they actually grow out with my lashes rather then gap and look ridiculous. This is problematic if your looking to save money and maintain a voluminous look. \n\n7. This is not the place if your looking to get creative with your lashes and build a relationship with your tech. There's too much scheduling issues and this business is about pumping out \"basic lashes\" on any woman they can find in Vegas. It's simply all about the money sadly.\n\n8. It's just too over priced for what your getting. Look around and you'll find other lash places in Las Vegas if you want to make this be a regular part of your committed beauty regime. \n\n9. At one point a featherized fill was not enough to keep my lashes full due to there time slot regulations so I was forced to book a \"fill plus\" plus a \"mini fill\" on top just to maintain a full look that still only covered about 90% of my lashes! I was paying hundreds a week honestly just to maintain a \"false eye lash look\". My current lash salon \"beyond beauty\" gets all of my lashes filled in once appointment setting and I have no problems with gaps what so ever. The price is not astronomical as well. This place is really unforgiving, overpriced and lacks any type of luxury feeling for the customer for what you will be spending if you plan to spend a lot here be careful, you'll only be suckered into spending MORE. That's there objective. To make as much money possible in one day. If that's the type of business you want performing a service that involves time, creativity and personalization this is NOT the place to go! |
29,770 | 3 | Well made Sandwiches, I love their bread. |
29,771 | 3 | Everyone told us to visit Freemont Street while in Vegas and you sure get a EYEFULL of live entertainment! It's fun for ADULTS not a place to bring children REALLY WHY WOULD YOU BRING KIDS AFTER DARK TO VEGAS ANYWHERE REALLY? Anyways had a lot of fun here! |
29,772 | 0 | No one loves Sonic more than I do and I was filled with utter excitement when I found out they were putting one in right by my work. Service seemed pretty nice until I noticed a hair in my tots. She said were pretty clean here and just gave me a blank stare. I didn't think asking for a new order of tots was a big issue but apparently it was to her. As I was eating my new order of tots my friend noticed another hair on one right before I put it in my mouth. Seriously?! Hair in two different orders of tots?! Well done Sonic! Your customer service is exquisite! |
29,773 | 2 | As soon as we sat down my friend and I were told they we're out of bacon, chili & queso... Those three things are on half the menu. I did get the burger with fries on top which was very tasty. They also had a special house sauce \"penguin sauce\" which went well with the fries ... Had a bit of a kick! I did want to get some penguin merchandise... But I couldn't bring myself to spend $20 on a shirt!! |
29,774 | 4 | Ashlee is always great, gets me all the info I need and helps in anyway she can for all my insurance needs. |
29,775 | 3 | Tao is the standard GO TO party place while in Vegas. Numerous dance rooms to chose from, indoor/outdoor, fast and efficient bartenders....I am there! We (all girls - no guys) got in thanks to a club hook up (thanks Mike) and with a minimal wait (5 mins) and no cover a little after 11 PM while the regular line wrapped around the escalators outside the entrance. Yikes... If you don't have a hook up EAT dinner here (I've done that in the past...the food is good and your cover is waived if you dine at the restaurant) - best chance to avoid the line if you are in a mixed group.\n\nAgain great music, DJs are AWESOME and lots of options to hang out in various rooms and if you want to go outside head to Tao Beach or the balcony outside the main dance. The *only* negative thing about the club is the staircases....oh man the stairs....after dancing for several hours your dying in your heels at 4 AM climbing them! |
29,776 | 0 | I have been a client here for 6 years, and the quality has continued to go downhill, while the price has skyrocketed. I love animals, and I have rescued 5 dogs and cats. Every time I go to Stoney Creek, they try to force me to buy exorbitantly priced tests and medications. \n\nDr. Jill Pascarella is rude, condescending, and lacks any empathy for her clients. I literally left the office in tears today after she implied that I don't care about my dog, because I did not want to pay for the same bacterial test that the dog has already had 4 times. She told me that I don't listen, and stormed out of the exam room. This was after waiting 45 minutes past my appointment time while my dog was become increasingly frightened and uncomfortable. \n\nIn total I spent $160 for a 10 min exam and medicines for a simple skin infection. $65 for antibiotics that you can buy at harris teeter for $5. I was also pressured to buy expensive vet-only food (in case there is a food allergy, but she isn't sure...) and additional expensive allergy tests and medications. Then she told me that I was using the wrong flea and tick treatment (Frontline). Of course, they have a more expensive version there. I will NEVER go back there again. |

29,778 | 2 | The more I come here, the less I am impressed. I am usually a creature of habit when it comes to certain things, take an item on a menu that I fall in love with. When I try to venture out and get something different, I usually kick myself for doing so. Case in point, my experience here. I started following them on Instagram awhile back, and the food pornography they put on is off the charts! I had to try the Slow Boat to China, Asian chicken salad, slaw chee in a cucumber boat w/almonds, teriyaki & spicy yo-aoili. This quickly became my favorite menu item. To really confuse my taste buds, I shared the Drunken Monkey Pancakes, buttermilk pancakes, maple glazed bananas, graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate w/applewood bacon. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but this was too much, even for me. One bite was enough. Ok, go ahead and throw in an order of your famous truffle fries. Now that's what I'm talking about. Those were really good, as well as the sweet potato fries. \n\nThe next couple times, I'd tried to stick to the \"healthy\" side of the menu, I tried the Cranburkey SF turkey burger, arugula, tomato, red onion & cranberry basil yogurt on a honey wheat bun w/side. It was really plain and boring, even with the cranberry basil and onion, I ended up putting the slaw chee on it to give it some flavor. \n\nLast time I was there I ordered the special of the day which was Chicken & Waffle Chowder. Exactly as it sounds, it was really gross. \n\nBut what has really left a sour taste in my mouth was my experience with the delivery service. I decided to order online for delivery, I order my food, check out, and it gives me a total. Well about 20 minutes later I hear my email alert go off on my phone, so I check my email, and it is a confirmation of my order, but with a $10 fee added for delivery. No where on the online ordering does this state this fee, and it was not what I agreed to when I \"checked out\" online. I called immediately to cancel my order (I live 7 miles from SkinnyFats, I wasn't about to pay that) but I'm told it's too late to cancel, so I tell him that I will pick my order up. So I write a \"tip\" on the page alerting others of the delivery fee that is not stated, and I get an email from Charity pretty much pressuring me to remove the tip, which I relunctantly did, and I wish I hadn't. |
29,779 | 1 | Our family went here for a celebration last Friday night. It was bumping and the atmosphere was cozy/crowded.\n\nThings I liked: Free valet service, call-ahead seating, crayons and a colorful kids menu that had non-fried options, and a unique high-chair that looked less uncomfortable than most. Also, the Cucumber Gimlet Martini was refreshing (if you are a gin drinker) and the soups (tomato and chicken tortilla) were both yummy. Our server, Kendra, was nice and did her job well.\n\nThings of which I was not a fan: My chief complaint was the SALT! This was the saltiest food I have had in a while. It was so salty that my dad cancelled a side order of spinach after tasting someone else's. Every leaf was covered in salt. My son's chicken and my husband's sandwich were both very salty and my mom said that she thought the kitchen staff may have accidentally double-salted her burger. I tasted it and it was . . . salty! I asked for double rub on my \"Delmonico\" so I was not as disappointed by its saltiness - though what I was looking for was more spice, which cannot be added separately from the other ingredients in the rub. Also the wines by the glass are pricey. \n\nA friend who joined us ordered the sesame-coated salmon and it was NOT too salty. I had a taste and it was yummy. |
29,780 | 3 | Firehouse is #1 of the sub shops in our area. Not the cheapest and not the most expensive but better quality than the cheapest and a better menu selection than all of them! \n\nThey will even accommodate a custom sandwich, in case, like me you still want something other than a menu item. \n\nThey have salads, a low calorie menu and many hot & cold subs. \n\nIn addition the fresh bread, service and fancy Coke machine are top notch! \nCheck 'em out. |
29,781 | 2 | This place is ok...There was only 1 guy working so drinks took forever to come out because it got a little packed during the lunch hour. I think I waited a good 10-15 min for my 1 drink! I got the green milk tea which had good flavor but the pudding tasted weird to me and was a single block of pudding...how the hell am I supposed to drink the pudding if it won't fit in the straw? How hard would it be to cut up the pudding into little cubes or slices and not have it be a giant chunk? The pricing was cheap, however, boba, pudding, etc are considered add-ons at an additional 50 cent charge. I made the mistake of getting the middle size which was a mistake since it's huge! Just stick with the small one unless you're sharing! |
29,782 | 0 | if i could put a negative on the stars i would do so!! this by far is one of the most worst experience i have ever had at ANY food place. It started off with me needing to use the restroom, so i entered jack in the box, there were no signs anywhere stating restrooms are for customers only. As I walked towards the restroom and try opening it, the door was locked. I went up to the security guard, whom works there, letting him know what was going on. before I could even finish my statement he rudely looks at me up and down and says in the most rudest manner, \"the bathrooms are for paying customers\" OK 1. how can you look at someone and assume they have no money? 2. you would've said it in a nicer manner. i felt insulted and disrespected, how could you talk and judge another human being like that? whatever happened to the customer's are always right? i immediately demanded to speak to a manager, while i was telling the manager what was wrong he seemed as if he did not care what i was saying, he didn't pull the guy to the side and talk to him, or even apologize to me for his employees behavior. i pulled out my receipt for the rude racist and judgmental security guard and he pushed the buzzer to unlock the restroom. i walked to the restroom door to try opening it and it still didn't open, i turned to the security guard and stated the restroom still isn't opening, he then says\" well you have to wait til someone gets out\" (still in a rude tone) i say\"well it says vacant\" he then says\" well it's not so...\" like how was i suppose to know it was occupied when it says vacant? and why didn't he tell me that before buzzing me in? while waiting in for the restroom to become vacant, i realized more and more customers were entering jack i the box and the security guard was being just as rude to them. some were so furious they walked out of the store cursing. its crazy because some customers he allowed in without showing him a receipt while others he harassed, yelled at and embarrassed as what he had done Me. I came down to Arizona for my daughter's 21st birthday and it was the worst experience in all my travels of any state. I am sad to say this but i will Not be returning any time soon. the blatant rudeness and disrespect was not okay, i have been employed with customer service jobs and I have had food thrown at me, spit at and cursed to and still have i never taken that out on any customer. the fact that the manager didn't say or do anything didn't even help how hurt i felt, i guess it goes to show you no matter where you go there is ugly everywhere. |
29,783 | 1 | If you are at all serious about rare books, don't bother with this place. Although it's fun to browse, I collect antiquarian texts and have been to many stores like this as well as the annual trade shows. I'll never come back. \n\nMy issues:\n\n1) PRICE - I specialize in 19th and 20th century texts, so I can't comment on the pricing of older items. But from what I can tell, the mark-ups here are insane. (Anywhere from 40% to 100% over the prices you'll find if you run a quick Google search.) If you actually want to buy anything, you would do much better going through eBay or any independent (but ABAA-licensed!) dealer.\n\n2) TOUCHING THE BOOKS - Maybe I just had bad luck, but the man working here would not let me touch any of the items in the glass cases. Allowing potential customers to touch the items that interest them is standard in this industry. While I understand that this store probably gets more foot traffic than any antiquarian bookstore in the country, they clearly had the supplies on hand (gloves, foam supports) so that customers could touch the books if the staff deemed them worthy. I suspect that the man who worked here did not take me seriously because I am in my twenties. Although I was dressed business-casual (was on my way to dinner), you'd think I was Julia Roberts at the beginning of Pretty Woman. Big mistake. Big. Huge! I have to go shopping now.\n\n3) STAFF - On a related note, the guy working here was incredibly patronizing, again (I suspect) because of my age. He didn't seem to know much about the David Foster Wallace book I was interested in (fair enough, everyone has their specialties). But instead of answering my question or admitting he didn't know the answer, he launched into a spiel about why we put mylar covers on dust jackets. Compelling. When I asked about the provenance of a book, he told me that it came from a \"private individual\" and that he couldn't give me any more information than that because of privacy concerns. Fine. But then he added that it's \"typical\" for antiquarian booksellers not to give customers any information about where they got the books--which is objectively not true. I have worked with a number of rare booksellers and \"typically\", they bend over backwards to give me information about what I'm looking at (all while respecting the privacy of the person they got the book from, obviously). And even if they don't have that info, they would never make me feel bad for asking.\n\nThe impression I came away with was that Bauman does not care at all about their customers--not enough to charge them fair prices, and not enough to treat them with respect when they visit the store. Such a shame. |
29,784 | 1 | Many of the reviews for Lefty's say it's the best pizza in Vegas, or at least in the top five. If that's the case, I may have to move back east. I understand that being on the west coast, it's going to be hard to find east coast pizza. I lowered my expectations, and I picked Lefty's based on the reviews on Yelp. What a mistake that was.\n\nI'm going to start off with my review of the food. The rest of the experience was not great either, but some of that was simple mis-communication and has no bearing on the actual food.\n\nTo start, we ordered two pizzas. We got a plain pie and a mushroom/sausage pie. We ordered mediums, thinking that we should have more than enough food for two of us. The menu says that the medium pizza is 14\". Our pizzas were not 14\". They arrived in comically small boxes that I have seen for personal pies or for single slice take out. I remined hopeful, however, that the pizza within was big on taste.\n\nThe pizza within was not big on anything. It was flat with a very stiff and bland crust. Good pizza crust has a bite and then a spongy texture on the inside. This was more like the texture of a garlic knot. It was heavy and doughy. The cheese was greasy. The sauce was ok, but nothing to save the rest of the pizza debacle.\n\nAll told this was not the pizza i expected based on the Yelp reviews. I dont know where some of you got your pizza from on the east coast, but if this is what it was like, you are getting lied to. My Las Vegas pizza search will continue elsewhere.\n\nNow, on to the other factors that contributed to my 2-star score. My house is about 2 miles from Lefty's. At the time of night we ordered, this pizza should have been at my door in 30 minutes or less. After 90 minutes we had to call and find out where our pizza was. Turns out that the driver couldn't find the street (new neighborhood that isn't in their map yet). To make matters worse, the person who took our order never took our phone number so they were unable to call us and ask for directions.\n\nTo top it all off, there is a delivery charge. We ended up paying $2 to have a driver come 2 miles and deliver us luke-warm pizza about an hour later than we expected it. I know that gas is expensive, but if I am paying for you to deliver me food, you better get it right and get it to me fast.\n\nTo Lefty's credit, they did recognize that this was their fault and they offered me two free pizzas. If their system for keeping track of store credit is as good as their system of taking down delivery addresses, I dont expect to see those free pizzas anytime soon. Of course, based on the pizzas I got last night, I may not want to... |
29,785 | 4 | This is one of the most beautiful hotels I've seen. Well appointed and full of rich history, this place is truly a 5 Star property! I was here to meet a client for a business meeting & lunch. If you're visiting during the hot Summer months, I recommend valet parking as it is a pretty long walk from the self parking lot to the entrance of the hotel.\n\nThe property is sprawled out over a large amount of acres....a classical designed hotel. They don't make places like this anymore.\n\nThe service here is outstanding as well. Everyone from Valet to the food servers understand what it means to provide excellent \"customer service\". I will definitely be back soon.\n\nReturn Factor - 100% |
29,786 | 4 | I went to Aureole for some after dinner drinks last weekend. Being the Saturday night of a fight weekend, I was surprised at how easy it was for us to get a table at the bar. It was a nice oasis from the crowds flooding the rest of Mandalay Bay.\n\nThe wine tower they have is definitely worth a look. It's a pretty neat system where the wine stewards get in a harness and have to zip up the side of the tower to get the bottles high up. The tablet PC wine menu also gets them points for the fun factor for gadget geeks like me.\n\nWe had a very good Australian grenache, and a few of their desserts. Both the wine and food were excellent.\n\nI will say that the wine was EXPENSIVE. There are not many bottles on their list that I would consider good deals (or even truly affordable for that matter) but the ambiance and service still merit this establishment five stars. |
29,787 | 4 | Guru Palace is simply fantastic. We have eaten there in the evenings, both as a couple on date night and as a family. The best word for the atmosphere is inviting: it is a relaxing, pleasant, warm place to eat. It is a soothing place to sit after a stressful day. However, the decor is also wonderfully filled with murals in warm colors that let our little girls pretend they are in a palace. \n\nThe food is addicting it is so delicious. I am absolutely stuck on the Chicken Khorma and Lamb Saag and can't get past them. The staff is very helpful with recommendations. I do not handle spicy-hot well (very wimpy), so we order our food mild to share and they bring my husband a separate bowl of spice so he can heat his up.\n\nHighly recommend Guru Palace. |
29,788 | 3 | Le caf\u00e9 \u00e9tudiant de l'ESG, mon meilleur ami ;)\nLe service est effectivement beaucoup plus efficace depuis le nouveau set-up.\nCaf\u00e9 abordable, surtout le latt\u00e9 si on compare au prix du Second Cup sur St-Denis. |
29,789 | 1 | Disappointment. After staying at the Fairmont in San Francisco, my expectations were high especially a luxury resort that nickles and dimes you to death. I flew in late afternoon and looked forward to drinks at the pool side. I arrived to find that the poolside bar closed at 5pm (I was 6 minutes late), however there was another bar just up the way. Even with a map this property is impossible to navigate. Anyhow, figured I'd grab some food and drink to go and take it back to the pool. I sat down at the bar but the woman behind the counter was having too much fun flirting with another co-worker and texting on the phone to sell me a $12 drink. I sat patiently I finally received a poorly prepared cocktail and undercooked burger sliders. The guy sitting next to me ordered a pizza, which looked horrendous. He ate one slice and offered me the rest, I passed. It went downhill from here. I canceled the rest of my stay and booked a room at the Sanctuary. |
29,790 | 1 | I had written a review when I returned home can't find it on here. The place is pretty but Internet is horrible. Spent every morning trying to get someone to help us get connected even though it was paid. Don't order room service. We did a lot and the staff left our trays there overnight. Was swarmed by birds and their poo was all over table chairs tray. This napped twice I had to return tray clean up poop. Not whAt u want to do at several hundreds dollars a night... Front desk wasn't too concerned....\n\nDon't know if ill would stay there Again....... |
29,791 | 3 | I am so bummed, tried to book Sonia for a haircut and she is gone! If anyone knows where she went please post! |
29,792 | 1 | While waiting for my next flight, I decided to head to Salsarita's since I was craving Mexican food, and didn't want the typical fast food burger or Starbuck's.\n\nI ordered steak tacos with a side of chips and salsa. The steak tacos tasted weird - almost as if the steak was pork. The chips and salsa were ok, nothing special. |
29,793 | 0 | Terrible country fried steak very oily. It taste like a chicken nugget from mcdonalds. The server was very unaware. No refills no how was your food so no tip took 20 minutes to get the bill after they took the plates. |
29,794 | 0 | I should've known the food was going to suck when I had that flyer slipped under my hotel door. I ordered the shrimp fettuccine Alfredo, steak fries, lamb gyro, white pizza, chicken Alfredo, and broccoli cheese soup. Everything was tasteless. Absolutely everything. I was blinded by hunger and I now know I should have looked up reviews on this place. I honestly felt like I just wasted $60 :/ |
29,795 | 2 | This is a sushi on a rotating belt place. Just pick what you want and pay by the plate. The sushi was ok, you get what you pay for. I liked how clean it was and the service was great. What I could see an improvement on is the amount of cream cheese and california rolls were on the belt (fewer the better). But again you get what you pay for. If I want a cheap sushi fix I would definately go again. |
29,796 | 3 | Gave it a 4 star, open on christmas day. Buffet was clean, fresh food & set up very nice, had drinks & desserts. The menu was over priced. No usual chips or salsa with meals, need to order off the menu. Staff were good, but had to wait/ask for refills. We ate outside. Location was a plus, near the stadium. Portions were satisfying. Tamales were good. Not roomy. The table we sat at was not stable, everytime we got up or moved our drinks would spill. The chairs were bulky, I felt like it was leaning too far back, i like to sit upright when im eating n a little too low for my comfort. Meal for 2 was around 40.00. |
29,797 | 4 | I love this place! The biscuits and gravy are awesome. Same with the eggs Benedict. I look forward to coming back. |
29,798 | 0 | Well generally food is good. Service is about the same here, not particularly special but they get you out the door without much hassle. This occasion was not the norm, other than the music so loud you can't communicate without repeating everything or just deciding \"whatever\". Well this evening the little, skinny dude behind the counter didn't like me asking why I couldn't get an extra item on the side so I could determine how much I wanted to put on my sandwich so he offers the sarcastic \"Have a good night\" comment. Had to let him know I was having a good night and that his personality really glistened, like the stuff on a pooper scooper. |
29,799 | 4 | In Arizona this is as good as Pizza gets. I'm originally from New England and one of my favorite pizza places is an oven baked pizza from Papa Ginos. The reason that pizza resonates is that it always has a crispy bottom layer, fantastic dough, quality cheese and just enough sauce to support the dough and cheese. \n\nGiant Rustic Pizza has all of this. The mouth-feel when consuming the pizza is amazing. Often you will get to much dough, to much cheese, or some tart overdone sauce out here from the generic Pizza places, but this is all well balanced. If you order the 20 incher your eyes will pop out of your head how big the slices are. \n\nThe customer service was amazing and friendly, they had the pizza ready on time and a smile when I came into their small shop. I kept thinking this is how a pizza place is supposed to be, and exactly how it is out east (minus the smile).\n\nI would say throw away your coupons to Domino's and Pizza Hut and try a decent pizza for a change. Oh, and the pricing for a 20\" is $13, so it's very affordable. |
