I struggled thinking about how to review Brother's Italian Bistro. The food is delicious, full of flavor and garlic knots are amazing. I order take out and delivery when I'm in the mood for amazing Italian food. I do, however, have an issue with some staff and management. They have a scrappy attitude, sometimes unhelpful on the phone with food questions, which makes online ordering praise worthy..and limits contact with the staff. It's very sad because customers make and support the business. 5 stars for food, 2 stars for attitude. Fix your customer service.....


We used to go here all the time...all five or six of us. We always order a supreme for the table but we were informed that the pizzas were now personal pizzas. We ordered five of them as they never have supremes on the line. I guess they didn't take us seriously as the pizzas were never made. After a mishap with some marinara (no fault of Cicis) and 45 minutes waiting, I asked for my money back and left the store with sauce all over me. The manager refunded the entire amount of the check so cudos to him for that, but to not take your customers request seriously is very poor business practice and they have lost a regular customer!


Hmmm, this place is a little difficult for me to review to be honest. My wife and I were treated to this place by my father-in-law and his girlfriend, both of whom have had prior experience ordering dim sum. I expect this is why our experience was a bit more positive than some of the other reviews I've read on yelp. It does kind of help if you have an idea of what you are ordering ahead of time since many of the dishes taste different then they actually look.\n\nWe got there at exactly 10:30 and managed to get a table just fine, but fairly quickly the restaurant started to fill up with large families. I'm told that this is fairly usual here and that you should expect to wait for awhile if you get there much later than that. \n\nOk, time for the food. I can't recall half the stuff we ended up ordering, but I do remember that many of the dumplings and buns went down really well with our group. The pork buns, shrimp dumplings, vegetable dumplings all were pretty tasty. The pork buns were especially good, bigger and more full of meat than most chinese restaurants I've been too. Egg rolls were pretty much the standard stuff, but the fried shrimp balls were quite tasty (I feel weird saying that for some reason, lol). The rice was tasty, a bit sticky and moist with lots of stuff mixed in. The one item that completely shocked the table on how yummy  it was was the homemade sweet tofu. Very yummy, my wife ended up getting a second bowl.\n\nSomething to keep in mind though is that it takes time for the waiters to bring out all the carts. We noticed that at around 11:30, just as we were finishing up, the waiters were bringing out the more savory meat dishes and so on. Kind of annoying, but makes me think that next time I come I'll have to plan on either taking my sweet time with my meal or come a little later and deal with the wait. All in all it was an enjoyable meal, but going as a group really ended up helping because we got to sample more and had plenty of good conversation going. Also, I got to watch my wife try eating chicken feet... *snicker*


Though convenient to us, this PO is experiencing some problems; possibly due to inexperienced workers? After all, all one needs is to pass the civil service exam to work there.\nProblem 1: \"Anyone using a credit card?\" I stepped out of the long line, glad there was another avenue to get my transaction done quickly. All I had to do was purchase a book of stamps and postage for a letter that needed delivery confirmation. The young man who helped me was apparently confused as to my request and by the time we were done, I could have stayed in line and been out sooner.\nProblem 2: We have one of those old fashion mailbox systems at our complex, where the mail person opens a row of mailboxes with a key, places the mail in their appropriate slots, then closes that row--or is supposed to. One day, the boxes were left open for almost an entire day, even after the local PO was called. Meantime, some things I was expecting in the mail have yet to arrive, or have they?


Some of THE BEST margaritas that we have ever had!\n\nThe food is outstanding, the atmosphere is great, the service is always fast, friendly, and accurate (they get your order right - just the way you like it), but the margaritas are absolutely fantastic!  We love margaritas and have had thousands of them all over the U.S. - and the world, for that matter - and these are the best ever.  I am sure it is the high quality of tequila they use but the bartenders really know how to make them.  You will not be disappointed.


Drive thru is super slow. No one in front of us had an order more than 2 drinks. They need to get it together. Go to the Starbucks down the street inside the smiths on windmill and rainbow.


This place is hit or miss.  The 1st time I went, it was a great experience.  I was able to walk in (without an appointment) and get a gel manicure and a pedicure.  Libby was my technican, and she was fabulous. 5 stars!!!!  The manicure was great, and lasted the full two week as promised (would have lasted longer but it grew out too much and I started picking at it.)  My pedicure is still going strong after two weeks and looks great.\n\nSo I went back. And I had a different person (I don't know her name.)  Well, let's just say that my hands still hurt a day later!  She cut my nails unevenly (some are rounded, some are squared), and the polish is uneven as well and poorly applied at the edges.  My cuticles hurt to high heaven, and my nails are too short. 1 star!!!  \n\nI'm only going back only if I can get an appointment with Libby.   \n\n5 stars for Libby, but overall 2 stars, because I think that a salon should be able to provide consistent service.


Not as fancy as the newer stadiums that have been built, but I come here to watch baseball not to be seen.\n\nThe Angels play here, so I'm a little biased and would love this place no matter what. I just love chillin out on the lawn with a pint of Mirror Pond and watching the minor league players try to prove themselves with a few All-Stars sprinkled in.\n\nThe atmosphere is great as Angels fans are awesome and show much love and class for the team.\n\nNote...park in the industrial lot across the way if you don't want to wait for hours to pay $5 and park a block closer.


Went here for happy hour with my mom and sister. Was greeted by the humans right campaign sticker on the front door which immediately put a smile on my face. We stuck to ordering a lot of drinks and appetizers that were on happy hour menu. They had a free appetizer for checking in which you can't argue with either. \n\nLots of drinks to order from. Appetizers were amazing, service was great, always came back to check if we wanted more drinks or food. The only reason I docked one star was because the server assumed that my sister was my mom and that my mom was my grandma. It's a common mistake to make, but something no one should ever assume. \n\nOverall, I definitely recommend!


Just like its original sister restaurant in Elizabeth, this second location for Crisp offers the same menu of fresh made salads, soups, and sandwiches, prepared to order as you wait.  When looking for something on the lighter side, Crisp remains an excellent option.\n\nThe new location sports the same modern feel with muted tones of green and brown throughout the space, along with wooden vine accents neatly tucked into a few places.  As with the original, you walk in the door here and go right to the counter to order, where you can watch your salad come together in less than two minutes.  Specials of the day are prominently posted and many are worth a try.  For orders that require a bout more prep, servers will bring your order to your table.  Servers will also clear your table for you once you leave.  Tipping is actively encouraged, though you will still need to get your own drink and refills.\n\nPrices here appear unchanged, and remain just a tad high, in my opinion, for what you get.  Still, there is no arguing with the freshness and emphasis on quality vegetables, fruits and nuts to enhance the dish.  Certainly makes the burrito and burger shops look like that fat slob of a cousin you only claim on holidays.  You, meanwhile, can run around lean and trim, knowing you didn't kill your calorie count for the day over a single meal.


at the Quad, started off with Guy-Talian Fondue Dippers...delicious! Followed by Original off-da-hook Smash burger...delicious! Customer service excellent. Atmosphere was fun! Should of participated in the beer sampler with tshirt...next time! We will be back...


Good restaurant but employees are horrible and rude. The managers aren't any better there policy of \"we don't do reservations on the weekends\" only Monday-Thursdays what kind of policy is that?!!??!?! Wouldn't it make sense if they just had reservations on the weekends ? That way they wouldn't always have such a long waiting list ???? The manager Kyle Davis or whatver his name is is so rude spoke to him on the phone and he got very sentimental and took everything too personal...such a girl!  this place is a joke only because the employees make it!!!!!


I have to say, I've had WAY better middle eastern food. If it wasn't for the price and the fact that my significant other adores the place, I'd probably never eat here. \n\nThe service has always been good, even when packed. Their pitas are decent and for less than $4 for an entire meal, you can't go wrong. However, their actual dishes have left much to be desired. \n\nI'm not a fan of their hummus, AT ALL. In fact I think it's bland and tasteless. Their garlic sauce is made with mayo which isn't my favorite. I personally think it's tastier when it's just mashed garlic. The chicken shawarma just didn't do it for me, however I have enjoyed the kafta plate on more than one occasion. Overall, it's not the worst I've had but definitely nowhere near the top of Middle Eastern restaurants in the valley.


When you say your a vegetarian don't recomend the potato soup with Bacon. Then don't mess around with me about the refund, with no mea culpa.


How far is this place off the strip?\nUm, it better be worth it\n\nUm....yeah, it SO was. Thanks Sarah M. ! Delicious. I wish we had one close by my house. That would be dangerous. They have this pretzel, carmel custard that is absolutely delicous and I'm not all that into vanilla, pretzel or carmel. Somehow, the combination was to die for!


By far my favorite show in Vegas so far. I really enjoyed my experience at the show. Well worth the money spent. I strongly encourage you go see this show! I've seen KA and Love, which are the two most popular cirque shows in Vegas and I can honestly say I enjoyed KA much more than Love. The acrobatics are phenomenal. A definite must see while you're in Vegas. You will not be disappointed.


It's a Burger King.  Standard Formula, standard food.\n\nOne thing that bugs me about this location is that they ALWAYS ask me to pull forward (not to the parking lot) but just forward to get my food.  I think it's because they don't want their drive through times to go through the roof.\n\nThat being said, the food production here is slower than others I've visited and the employees at times are hit and miss.  Teenagers that give no smile, don't even say a word to you (just put your hand out for payment) and in general don't give you the satisfaction of good service while spending your money.\n\nThe food is fine, the employees here need to work on their happy faces.


Omg horrible service never coming back here again! I've given this place plenty of shots to prove me wrong but it just keeps getting worse and worse this time they took 20 minutes to sit us than another hour for me to get my food. The place was not even that busy. I'm done here!


Had a great brunch here today with the fam. We were in AZ for Spring Training baseball games and needed a good place to grab some grub. My husband, inlaws and I were meeting up with my aunt and uncle who live drove up from Tuscon so wanted to be sure to pick some place relaxing and worthy of the fairly long drive.\n\nThe decor inside was really stylish but being such a beautiful day we really wanted to sit on the back patio! There were 8 of us total yet the hostess was able to accommodate us quite quickly considering the relatively large number of our party. The patio has really great ambiance and backs up to a canal path that I would have definitely explored had we not had to leave for our game.\n\nMy Chiliquiles were delish and was so filling I didn't even need to buy any crappy ball park food later in the day. The Hubby's Prime Rib Hash looked amazing (even though I don't eat meat) and my sister in laws Kale and Quinoa salad was sooo tasty. Add in some White Sangria and a Bloody Mary and you got your self a pretty perfect little brunch!


We ended up here purely by accident and loved it! We were looking for a place to go dance and as we were walking by Caesar's a guy was outside handing out passes for no cover before midnight. We took the passes and headed into the Casino. Right in front of Pure was another guy handing out the same passes and he told us to get into the Guest List line which was shorter,even though we weren't on the guest list. We were inside the club within 5 minutes of entering the hotel. \n\nPure is pretty much a rooftop club overlooking the strip. I danced for hours just looking at the Eiffel Tower. Can't complain about that, now can you? The DJ was awesome and I wish I can remember his name because I loved pretty much everything he played. The drinks were pretty pricey but I guess you can expect that in Vegas. I'd definitely come back!


Took my sister here for her bachelorette party and I can safely say it was a hit all around!\n\nTickets were about $80 but they do have deals so shop around\n\nAll the guys had amazing bodies and for the most part lovely dance moves which made the show that much more enticing.\n\nWe got seats in the back because my sister didn't really want attention from the boys. However, they do make their way around the room making no one COMPLETELY safe from a little bump and grind. \n\nOverall\nI highly recommend it for any girls trip. I think it's a perfect beginning to any night.\n\nTip\nDon't be afraid to scream and shout!


Would give it 0 stars if I could and total waste of some money. Went for a Vegas painting party event and it  sucks! Party started at 6 so we arrived around 5 so we could eat before and get some drinks. First thing we noticed was that their was \"NO AIR CONDITIONING\"!!!! C'mon this is Vegas people! You know it's bad when outside is cooler than inside! Sat down and no service, finally went up there to ask for help. Was told we have to sit at bar if we wanted to eat and drink. So fine we did & waited forever and had to get up again for help. Anyway, since it was happy hour ordered buffalo chicken bites and macaroni bites. My mom ordered a lettuce wedge and cheese sticks. Omg, the lettuce wedge was laughable! They cut a head of lettuce in half and drowned it with dressing. As for the other items they were alright but I could get the same food and quality in a drive thru. By the time we got our food it was already 6:15 and the party started. Had to down our food because they wouldn't let us take our food upstairs and if it's not enough. They said we couldn't get happy hour when we're upstairs. If we wanted that price we have to come down and get the drinks ourselves. Even though theirs a waitress that will be serving us for the party. Huh? The upstairs is attached to the damn building! Never heard that before and I wasn't even as upset as the other patrons. They really let the owner/manager have it. They only had 1 bartender, waitress, and the manager/owner working there. NEVER will I ever come back to this rathole again! Instead of it being called Republic Kitchen..it should be called Republic Sewage! I can't believe their still in business....hmmm, maybe that's why theirs no air condition!


Very happy with their pizza.  It's my favorite in the city.  The staff is nice and they know what they're doing.  The owner is also very nice.


Me and a friend ordered delivery through GrubHub, which was fine.  The bill, with tip, came to about $50 for two entrees and a dessert, which even for delivery seems high.  (I recently paid $65 for Chinese delivery to my office for four lunch specials, crab puffs, $8 delivery charge, and tip.)  I ordered the pineapple fried rice. I love spicy food. I'm the friend who makes fun of everyone else for eating things at 0 spiciness. I ordered this dish at a 6, thinking it would be on the hot side of medium spiciness. This was one of the spiciest dishes I have ever been served. It was inedible, because not only was it extremely spicy but the pineapples had been cooked so much they were completely flavorless, which is something I've never experienced before. So there was no balancing sweet flavor, it was just insane spiciness that overwheled everything. I am with a friend who also loves spicy food, and it was too much for him, too. He ordered another dish at a spiciness level of 3, which seemed to have no bite at all. Mine was definitely not twice as spicy as his, it was at least 10 times as spicy. I've ordered 8s and 9s that weren't this hot. He also was weirded out by the totally flavorless pineapple. \n\nMy friend's level 3 completely unspicy dish was fine; it was crab fried rice.  It wasn't anything special; just regular fried rice with a little bit of crab.  We ended up sharing that because neither of us could stomach mine.\n\nI am addicted to sticky rice. It's one of my all-time favorite desserts. Bangkok Thai's sticky rice came in a sealed plastic bag, apparently directly out of the microwave, with a coconut milk sauce that didn't have nearly enough sugar. It was overall bland, I tried some of the nuts that were on the side with it; they turned out to be peanuts, which I don't love to begin with, but when a couple of peanuts totally overwhelm the taste of what you're eating, you know that it's not very flavorful. The coconut custard was OK, but not amazing. I've definitely had better. I used to live near Thai Lotus and would frequently get delivery from them; their sticky rice with custard was AMAZING. I'm really sad there's no decent non-pizza places that deliver to my new apartment. \n\nFor a $50 delivery order, I was extremely disappointed. Worst $50 I've ever spent on a meal.


When it was Apothecary, my meds were sent on time and everything was great.  The second it went to Avella, nothing but issues.  I originally planned for my meds to be to mailed to me.  A couple of times, they were late because of their negligence.  Several months later, I did not receive my monthly supply and called, only to be notified that they had not received permission from my doctor for the refills, only to find out it was lie.  Next, I was told they didn't contact me because \"there was a glitch with their system\".  This month, I, once again, did not receive my meds for the exact same reason as before.\nAvella, you are playing with people's health and their lives and I will not let you gamble with my health anymore.


The food here is great, but the service is TERRIBLE.  I have been there twice, and the first time I figured the poor and rude service was a fluke so I didn't write a review.  Well, we gave it another try and again...TERRIBLE service.  The waiter acted like we were bothering him, and walked away before we even finished talking.  We waited 15 minutes for our table, which I wouldn't have minded, but the hostess said they had a table almost ready for us when we walked in.  It took forever to get our bill (hand scratched on a notepad), and we were overcharged for our drinks.  Happy hour prices are awesome and I really do like the food, but because of the poor/lazy/rude attitudes of the wait staff I will not be coming back.  The bus boys were very on top of things, but without a better trained wait staff I don't see why people would come back.  Check out Firefly on the same block for even better food and fantastic service :)


Not so much a fan of this airport.  Is it just me, or do you feel like you've landed in 1985 when you get off a plane here?  The furniture and d\u00e9cor need some serious updating.  And I'm not picky about my airport interior design, but it's just depressing here.  Everything seems so dim and dingy and worn-out.\n\nAnd despite free WiFi, there is a major dearth of outlets in this airport.  What outlets we could find were dead, too.  Awesome.\n\nAnd sure, the layout *makes sense,* but does everything have to be so spread out?  You'll be excited to fly into A12 and hear your connecting flight is leaving from A22 only to discover you have to walk a mile to get there.  \n\nThere are some good food options, I'll give them that.  I had an excellent burrito at 10 am Phoenix-time, because I was on Eastern-time and starving for lunch, which made people stare at me like I had three heads.  And on the way back through, a bagel breakfast sammie I enjoyed.  You know you're a Yelper when you remember airports by meal.


I thought I'd review this place as I've been watching soccer games here. This is a sports bar. There are a million screens to watch all kinds of sports on from all different spots. The place is fairly large, with 2 bars, booths and tables, an outdoor seating area with misters and TVs, and some back rooms that seem to have enormous TVs set up. I've sat at the bar all times I've been (during the day) and have received pretty prompt service. They only have 1 beer on tap, and not a huge selection, which seems strange for a sports bar. Their food is also mediocre at best; I had a salad that was only OK, and boneless chicken wings that were less than OK. The real draw here is all the sports broadcasting. They had both soccer games up on screens next to each other last time I went, so we could easily go back and forth between the games. I would say that this is the bar's redeeming quality.\n\nPros: Good place to WATCH sports, lots of TVs\n           Friendly servers\n\nCons: Food and beer


What a beautiful, unique, delicious new restaurant. Sampled a little bit of everything!!  Mushroom tacos, dried fruit guac, yellowtail ceviche, summer corn, and chicken mole...all of which were phenomenal. The plating is especially beautiful, with each dish looking like a work of art. Also pleasantly surprising were the prices, which at this level of quality, combined with the location, I would have expected to be far higher. \nService was equally excellent, as is the ambience. I hope this place is very successful!!


The chicken snitchel was the best! We got a combo to try weiner chicken and pork chop ...next time I will get just the chicken snitchel as the flavors were amazing!! We also started with the beef vegetable soup...took me back to my youth in England. Very authentic. The service and atmosphere was great too!


I twisted the valve off my front tire this past weekend. It was quite a frustrating event. But it gave me the perfect excuse the check out PHX Bike: replacement inner tube! Dudeman behind the counter wasn't especially friendly, but that could have been because I went to a bike shop and asked if they carried inner tubes. Derp, I get it, But they aren't on display and I'm a visual person. Anyway, I showed him the size of tube I needed (I cut it out of the deflated one) and he says \"Eight bucks\". Okay, I need it. And thank you very much.\n\nOn the plus side, \"service\" was fast and I'm supporting local business. I could have gotten this is for about $5 online, so I don't think this place's mark-up is outrageous. I would like to have given an higher rating. It's just I felt like asking an ex to change a tire, like I was more of a tired burden than a potential loyal customer.


I love the Mill Ave location more than the Scottsdale one. When I'm bored I like going to this store, and even though I'm not looking for anything I usually leave with something. Everyone says this store is over priced, but they make up for it with their sales rack. They always also seem to have the latest styles. People who work here are also very nice, I don't think I've ever spent more than 10 mins in the store without a worker asking if I need help.


MY FAVORITE Happy Hour (food) Menu!!  The calamari, the bbq chicken pizza, the sushi rolls, and the sliders are the best choices!  The Happy Hour prices are great too!  Sometimes it does get pretty noisy, but it's a fun place to go to watch a game and hang out with friends.  To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of the happy hour drink menu... Their cosmos make me sick, they're far too sweet, the wine doesn't ever seem like that good of a deal, nor do the saki bombs.  But the food is great!!!


This was one bad sandwich and not really an Italian Deli at all. They have a motto saying that they have \"the biggest and best sandwiches\", but what you get is exactly the opposite. The menu listed nothing Italian like Ziti, etc - it is just  a sandwich shop and not a good one at that. First problem on this Saturday was the cashier girl, who was new and did not know the answers to any questions we asked about the food. Who trained this individual? The next issue was the sandwich itself, but these 8 buck Wedge sandwiches are small, constructed poorly and somehow, the condiments of mayo, lettuce and tomato caused me alot of gas only 45 minutes later. This deli is a joke, not worth the money or the hype. The meat is Boars Head, but beyond that, some chains have better sandwiches than this place.


Very unhappy with my stay here. I felt deceived because the pictures online are nothing compared to the real thing. We arrived at 11pm Friday and the outside looked so rundown my husband was like this looks ghetto. I know they are remodeling and stuff but it should not be available to stay until they are done. The bathroom was clean but it looked like the ceiling was gonna fall. It was just not what I expected. I would have checked out after the first night but what I had already paid was non refundable. Never again!!! Way to ruin my romantic getaway.


One of the best show/performance I've ever seen. I enjoyed it alot. I love love love.. couldn't comment more about how great the show is. although i am not exactly the beatle generation. I enjoyed every moment of it. \n\nDon't want to give too much away. you won't be disappointed =)


Fun, safe day at the range. Customer service is outstanding, we came in to shot on the range. One of the staff members looked at our equipment and asked to check it out the next thing I know he's tuning us up. thanks guys


Looks can be deceiving.  Awesome food.


Today a good friend and I were both tempted by the WATERMELON & FETA SALAD. It's in the small plates area of the menu & is the perfect side for a starter salad! The presentation was beautiful. I wasn't sure if it would taste as good as it looked, it is an interesting combination, but it sure was! The watermelon was chilled and considering we'd just come in out of the heat it was exactly what was needed :)\n\nOddly enough, we drank coffee :D \nIn our defense, this was a late brunch for us, so it was almost a must. The coffee was good! Not too weak and not too strong.


\"If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.\"  I think that's how the saying goes... and I usually stick to this saying but since I'm a yelper, I have to be honest about my experience at Jacqueline's Cafe.\n\nI admit, I read the reviews prior, many of them not so positive, but I was still optimistic that I would like Jacqueline's.  It's in a convenient location in the Hilton Village shopping center and it looks bright, colorful, and fun from the outside.  There's also a ton of option on the menu.  So I dragged Lindsey F with me to lunch earlier this week.  \n\nWe were greeted and seated in a timely manner... and our server was sweet.  We ordered ice water with lemon and a hummus appetizer to start.  The water tasted like it wasn't filtered and the hummus had a tang to it that wasn't a good tang.  (I think I've tasted hummus with a tang when it's sat too long in my refrigerator in the past).  I will say the pita that came with it was warm and tasty though.\n\nWe each ordered salads, and they were huge portions.  They looked good but a few bites in and we both agreed that they looked much better than they tasted.  The egg, chicken, and avocado that came in my Cobb Salad tasted processed, and the dressing was really thick.  Needless to say, I barely made a dent in it.\n\nSo there you have it, my honest review of Jacqueline's Cafe.  The two star rating says it all: \"Meh. I've experienced better.\" Sorry Jacqueline's - I wish you luck but I will probably not be back for another mediocre meal.


We had a good lunch here today. My biggest disappointment was the little pepper icon that let you know if a meal is supposed to be hot/spicy really let me down. My Red Curry Chicken was delicious, but a pretty mildly spiced curry sauce. It had zucchini and probably a whole onion worth of onion. No complaints at $5 with a tea, spring roll and fried rice. This was our first trip here and seems like a decent lunch stop if you're planning on getting groceries at Harris Teeter or the Walmart and don't want to shop on an empty stomach.  \nTheir menu had plenty of choices that peaked our interest, but i'm guessing the $5 General Tso's is next on my list. If we do come back for dinner, i'll finally get to use that coupon in the Entertainment book.


If you are looking for a great Chicago style pizza, this is the place to go! The atmosphere here is excellent and they have a decent selection of wine and beer, especially or a pizza joint. Our server was Marissa and she was excellent! We ordered the Guaca-Tony, which is basically homemade guacamole and their \"chips\", which is more like a chip pizza...it was fantastic!\n\nHighly recommended for pizza!,


It's consistently pretty good.  It's chain food, and I am a little against big corporate restaurants as they are all pretty vanilla.  That said there is nothing run of the mill about their chambord margarita.


The only thing I could think of as I made my way through the casino to the guest elevators upon checking in at Treasure Island this past Thanksgiving and passed by a restaurant called \"Pho at the Coffee Shop,\" little chopsticks crossed over one another as part of its logo:\n\nHow... random.\n\nBut I'm a lover of any and all Asian noodle in soup(s), so I knew it was just a matter of time before we ate there that trip. After me, my mom and sisters came back from Love at the Mirage (OMG!!! so good!) and my dad was done watching UH kick Boise State's ass in the room, we met up in the downstairs of T.I. for some pho.\n\nAs the other reviewers discovered long before I, pho here is expensive as hell... twice the price of anywhere I'd go for good pho in SF, and not any more tasty (though not less either).\n\nThe service was slow, but when we were finally served and my sister realized her order had peanuts in it (she's allergic), our waitress was ON that shit! She was extremely apologetic and quickly brought my sister out another bowl (it seemed quick to me, however i WAS already eating mine... sorry Kim).\n\nOther than that, my fam and I caught up over our noodles and a bottle of pinot noir (our waitress: \"I'll be cracking open a bottle myself when I get home tonight!\"). Though I'm sure there's better, CHEAPER Vietnamese right off the strip, you're paying for the convenience. And the pho is real pho. All in all, I was really happy to have it right in the hotel.


I've been wanting to try Tuck Shop for a while now and finally got the chance when my husband and I went there for dinner last weekend. Unfortunately, they did not live up to my expectations. I liked the vibe of the place but I wouldn't really say it was as homey as people make it out to be. For example, I liked the mismatched wooden chairs but they should have put some cushions on them to make it more comfortable. You know the cloth padded kind that you tie onto the wood spindles on the back of the chair? Just a suggestion. And it was pretty loud in there. They need some rugs or something to soften it up help with the noise level. The staff was friendly but it felt more like I was in a trendy bar rather than a restaurant famous for homestyle comfort food.\n\nOf course the most important thing is the food and on that score only one out of the three dishes was a winner. I ordered the pork tenderloin. This was suggested by our waitress as one of the best things on their menu and boy was she right. The pork was fully cooked but still juicy and tender. And there was a lot of it. Even better was the sauce... sweet and fruity but not too syrupy. The menu said it was a ponzu sauce but it didn't have that umami flavor (which is good since I don't think that would go with pork). And I really enjoyed the spinach that was saut\u00e9ed with green apples. You wouldn't think those two things would go together but all the flavors on the plate really married up beautifully. Hubby got the special which was a ribeye. Normally that is one of his favorite steaks but this one was pretty fatty and just didn't have a good flavor to the beef. He also didn't really care for the seasonings. And the only other thing on the plate was some saut\u00e9ed onions, in spite of the fact that it was almost $30. We decided to order some dessert and went with the chocolate chip cheesecake. This was a mistake. It was pretty unappealing when it arrived looking sort of gelatinous and wiggly. It was served warm (like warmer than room temperature) but yet it didn't seem to be an NY style cheesecake that had been baked. Actually what it tasted like was just butter and sugar whipped together and had started to melt. The crust was made from shortbread cookies rather than grahams and had a coconut taste to it that was very off-putting as well. Even the \"chocolate ganache\" topping that the waitress had described to us was too thin and watery and tasted suspiciously like Hershey's syrup. I can honestly say that it was the worst cheesecake I have ever eaten and that is including frozen store bought.\n\nI might give them another chance at some point in the future but I just wasn't wowed by the food the way the other reviewers seem to be. Sorry Tuck Shop.


rolled tacos and bean burrito for xmas breakfast.\nfree wifi, cold water.\nnot busy\nshould be, very few places open today.\nworth a try


RUN AWAY FROM DOING BUSINESS HERE! I'll start by saying I never write reviews but felt the need to post my experience for other future consumers.  I brought in a set of high-end dress shirts and when picking them up two had STAINS THAT WERE NOT THERE BEFORE!!!  It took the owner a week to call me back and he said they would attempt to fix the stains.  I picked them up the next day and there were two more stains on each shirt!!!!  I asked the owner how he suggest we fix this situation.  HE SAID, \"MY MACHINES DID NOT DO THIS!!\"  He argued with me and refused to do anything for two $70 dress shirts of mine.  DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THIS DRY CLEANER.


The food here is actually pretty good, but the service is absolutely terrible when the owner Rajiv is not around. And forget about the delivery, the food is always cold and then they blame you if they can't find the place.  They really need to work on the service.


So far my favorite place I have eaten in Vegas. Cozy, casual, & clean environment with an eclectic menu. Grand Luxe offers a menu that is fresh & affordable that will even satisfy a wide range of tastes. The service has always been fast & efficient when I have dined here & I am looking forward to eating here later this week.


Been coming here since 1986. Hands down, the best Mexican food in town. I'm in the Air Force and have lived all over the country. I have yet to find Mexican food anywhere else that can compare to Popo's.  Every time I come back to Phoenix for a visit, Popo's is the first stop I make. Excellent rice! Don't forget to ask for the red sauce with your chips!


I never thought I'd say it but dammit, I have jungle fever.  \n\nPita Jungle actually makes healthy food taste good, which I didnt think was possible.  I usually go for some sort of chicken wrap, which comes with a salad, etc etc...  The hummus is also a staple in my PJ diet.  Cant go wrong with the caprese salad too.  \n\nService is something I think could be better...  The waitstaff is all pretty granola-y, which I have nothing against, but they dont so much hustle as they do shuffle around.  If you know what I mean,  No?  Go see for yourself.  But get there early, you'll usually wait a bit.


I walked in around 9:45 PM 1/7/2015 and there was and item on the shelf there was prices on both sides of the item for 1.19 yet when the lady rang up the item it came up 2.99. I informed her about the advertised prices and she insisted that the prices where for other items yet their was no advertised price for the item I was purchasing, and their where about 7 more of the same items in the same spot under the 1.19 advertised sign. \n\nShe stated she would not give sell me the item for the advertised price. I than proceeded to explained to this young lady about Retail law she still refused and I asked for Managers name and store number she refused to give Managers name and number. \n\nHowever she said I needed to come back in the next morning if I wanted to speak to manager around 5:30 AM.  Very rude.  \n\nTo continue, It clearly states If item is marked on shelf differently than what price comes up on Register the advertising  price is what the customer pays. \n\nYet she refused to abide by the laws so I am filing a complaint. This is not the only place I will be filing a complaint.


Not the best casino.\n\nBad location first of all.  You have to walk miles to be where the action is.\n\nRooms looked like King Tut's Tomb.  Literally it looked like a tomb.  Dark and musty.  We stayed in the Pyramid part and had a slope in our room.  You leave the place with a neck cramp.\n\nPlace smells funny.  Not bad but funny.  Like clove cigarettes that somebody sprayed with cologne.  I don't know what type of scent they were going for.  Perhaps the janitor's dead body is in the vents and he was a fan of cloves and cool water.  Who knows?  My theory is as good as any.\n\nIF YOU DO STAY HERE, THIS IS A HUGE TIP:\n\nWhen you walk past the counter and toward your room you will pass this little desk.  There are these people there that usually have an accent (some may not).  They ask you \"how long are you in vegas\" or \"you want to see any shows?\"  Stay away from these people.  They are located in other hotels on the strip as well (right by the entrance to the forum shops at Caesars and at the entrance to the Venetian Canal Shoppes has these scum for sure).  Do not talk to them...do not even give them the time of day.  Be rude to them if you want to.  They prey on newcomers by enticing you with a free stay etc.  What you don't know is that they \"swipe your credit card to reserve your stay\" and charge you for it.  Nice huh?  My first time in vegas I fell for it.  I got it taken off, but the last thing you want in vegas is an immediate charge to your card that you have to deal with.  Stay away from these people and hate these people.  They are worse than car salesmen.  I know they need to work etc.....but how about getting a real job?  I need to work too, but you don't see me working as the guy that unplugs life support at hospitals.  That would be a horrible job.  People would equate me with death.  I equate these \"Vacations\" people as scammers and annoyances.  They are mosquitos.  Just walk past them or you can yell back.  Either way it is good fun for everyone.  Trust me...if this is your first time in Vegas...please avoid these people.  They are looking for first-timers to scam.


It's nice having a Friday's fairly close to my house in downtown.  Unfortunately, this one does not provide me with the same quality of service and value for food as the other ones do.  I appreciate the change of decor here, as this Friday's is definitely geared around the Dbacks and not the usual kitschy crap.  The food here is just as good/average as at the other locations, but I feel a little ripped off coming here.  It's always more expensive, but I guess I can understand given the neat view.  I've never been on a gameday, but I can't imagine how awful that could be.  Service is terrible here, even when nothing is going on.  Factor in the chaotics that a game most certainly brings and you set yourself up for disaster.  This is not going to be a quick or cheap meal.  If you are looking for an interesting place to kind of hang out in downtown when there isn't a game going on, Friday's Front Row is a pretty good choice, plus it's right off a lightrail stop.


That was the worst sub I have ever had in my life (Chicken Parm).  The chicken was rubbery and the bread was mushy as all hell. BUT, my boyfriend's turkey sub looked really good and he confirmed that! It's my own fault for getting a hot sub at a \"Subway\" type place..plain and simple. \nThe place was clean and I like that they slice the meat for subs to order. \nMaybe I'll try something else if I decide to go back.


We stopped in opening day to check out what they did with sahara , as i used to work there. The exterior looks good. The interior is either a 60s modern look or i thought it just looked cheap . Lipstick and mirrors. The porters and stewards mustve been off . How would a high class joint have big dust bunnys blowing out from under tables and the bathrooms were a mess and out of towels. But the clincher was when leavin the parking garage has 2 sets of 2 elevators. And i remember them not workin great when it was sahara. But hey it was facelifted . I guess the mechanical side was forgotten for all parking garage elevators were out on opening day . Had to walk to the 6th floor of the parking garage in 100 degree heat. And watching the elderly and the handicapp having to walk up the stairs to there vehicles showed me what they think of locals. Will not be back and would never recommend this property to anyone.


Been going to this place for years....... Hadn't been there in a long time and happened to be on Decatur today and we stopped by........ We should have just gotten one hoagie...... We split one and that was more than enough for both of us, ended up saving the other one for later..... Not a fan of fried Okra but we had some anyway, it was so so, I prefer the zucchini .. Don't understand the complaints about the prices, i think for what you get its fine.....We didn't bother eating outside since it's too damn hot this time of year, so we just brought everything home and it was pretty darn good.... We'll be back for more next time we're on that side of town........


Four of us dined on a Thursday night. For apps we had spicy chicken quesadilla and chicken skewers, both delicious. Our dinners were pork tenderloin, halibut, and rabbit. The pork was spicy but fabulous, the tamale was just ok. Rabbit, also spicy was delicious and the halibut was not spicy but beautifully cooked. We had churros for desert, they melted in your mouth. We will definitely return to try more of the menu.


Good bar for the location and size. This would be a good place to get started for the night. I ended up standing by the bar and getting carded when I asked for water. Blech. Drinks were yummy and there was a little room to dance. \n\nThe stage above the bar was AWESOME. It was especially nice that there was a hot chick on mic. Fun stuff when you've been drinking.


just returned from my stay this weekend. i thought the hotel was very unorganized. i got locked out of my room 'cause the the night lock/ hatch got stuck on the door without anyone being in the room. i called the front desk all day to get my luggage out of my room which had to be done asap since they gave me the wrong rooms the night before (i booked 2) and i had to switch rooms. they didn't understand what the problem was with the hatch and assumed i couldn't get in my room 'cause i already approved the room switch however the key still worked but the hatch was obviously not letting the door open all the way. even room service employee was trying to figure out what was up with my room door and how the the hatch was on. she said i should call the front desk 'cause she had to clean it. when i finally got through to the front desk for some reason instead of sending maintenance they sent security. finally i saw a maintenance man walking the hallway and told him the problem and he fixed it in seconds. even checked the room and said it was probably haunted. and the room switches, i waited all day for them. they kept saying theyll be ready in an hour, then half an hour, then half an hour later they would be ready in another half hour. i basically just wasted my whole friday on room switches and waiting for someone to fix my room door so i can collect my stuff. it was kinda disappointing because i've stayed here before and really liked my experience. don't think ill return to this hotel. i have had way better experiences at other mlife hotels. \n\nThe rooms were clean and there was a lot to do within the casino during my stay. in addition, my previous experience was really good which is why i decided to give 3 stars. I don't know why I was having so much bad luck this time around.


Aww.. I don't know if it's because I love Gordon on TV, I watch his shows, his cooking shows, and read his books.. Do I expect to much??? \nI was so excited to sit in his Burger joint, I could hardly wait to choose from his menu.. A couple things I have pet Peeve's about: \n1. If you charge a Big Price you must Deliver, If you are going to charge $10.00 for a order of Fries or Onion Rings, at least make sure they are MADE TO ORDER! \nI am sorry Gordon but at this restaurant, at this level, . . . Really, a window to let the Apps. be Pre-Cooked? ? ? \n2. Make sure food is cooked to order, if it's not, then it had better be Heated to a HOT temp.. ( Unless it's sushi ) I like my food Hot and Smokin' still! AKA MADE TO ORDER!\n3. If it doesn't taste good, I send it back. \nThe burger I ordered was the Duck Bacon, Egg, and Medium Rare... ( Border line Hot) but the flavor impact was there and I was thankful that the Bun was at least Toasted. . . Have to have a Toasted Bun right? \nUnfortunately, for the price, service, and food, I won't be dining back... It was sad.. I wanted more... \nIt's a long line and not worth the wait, I'd rather go down the road to In and Out... \nAt least there I know everything is Cooked to Order! 1/4 the price as well for 4 people to eat for what you'll pay for one person... \nThank You, but ... so sad... Gordon' i am loosing faith in your restaurants...


In buffet world, you get what you pay for, quality versus quantity here, a little pricey but worth it! Great services too...


We went here on a saturday night with a group of 5 people for the AYCE, and quite enjoyed our experience.\n\nThe food was great; I definitely prefer their sides to Tofu Huts, though I still like Honey  Pig's Kim chi and pickles better. I did miss beef tongue, which they do not seem to have. Sad face. \n\nIt may be due to where our table was; directly along the wait staff's path to the kitchen, or due to the fact that we ate pretty late at night and the restaurant wasn't packed, but we didn't seem to have the service problems a lot of other yelpers encountered. \n\nPros:\n- Great food, lots of different sides. My favorite bean paste stuff I've had in Vegas.\n- You'll have infinitely better luck getting in here than at Tofu Hut. Also, more parking.\n- Quite affordable for the amount and quality of meat. Much nicer meat cuts than tofu hut.\n- Incongruous and lovably campy tiki party atmosphere! Korean Dramas on TV!\n\nCons:\n- No beef tongue! \n- Service can be a bit on the slow side. Wasn't super bad, but we did have to ask and wait for water a few times. This seemed to stem from staff being busy, and they were super friendly.


Excellent, Excellent, Excellent. I didn't plan to eat here but couldn't resist after cruising around The Bellagio taking in the Conservatory and taking a gander at the menu.\n\nThe food was outstanding - I enjoyed the Black Mussel Souffle and the Ahi Tuna Tartare - and the services was prompt, efficient, and what you would hope for in a classy place. It passed my \"I'd love to eat here again\" test.\n\nPricey? Yeah a bit, but well worth it. Wish they had a restaurant near me in Carlsbad, CA.


I finally got around to eating at L'Acad\u00e9mie this Friday. The restaurant gives off this air of Zen grandeur and European opulence at the same time while serving a fusion of Italian and French fusion cuisine. What it is really is a lot of pretentiousness and posturing, form over function, appeal over taste.\n\nTo begin with I couldn't believe the menu or more to the point how 30 years ago it was. What self-respecting fine dining institution with any sense of modernity still serves Coquille St-Jacques, Escargot with garlic butter and Parmesan Fondue as entr\u00e9e? Really? In 2008? Tortellini Cardinal is not fine dining it's now been reduced to cafeteria food. All good plates when well prepared, but preparations that are pass\u00e9 and no longer original.\n\nI started with the Insalata Italiana or Italian Salad.\nLovely greens, very fresh and some cherry tomatoes that tasted just awful and sticks of Parmesan Regiano with a nice Balsamic vinaigrette. Most restaurants drown their salads in vinaigrette, L'Acad\u00e9mie seems to fear this very same thing by not putting enough dressing on the salad and the salad tasted dry.\n\nThen as my Primo Piatto, or Plat de Resistance\nI went for the Filet Mignon with a Port reduction. I'm just a sucker for steak. It was served with potatoes that had been fried whole and some veggies. The only thing that was remotely good was the Port reduction. Ok maybe the corn cob which tasted a bit funny because it was obviously not from Qu\u00e9bec soil.\n\nThe Broccoli bouquet was undercooked and completely tastless. The carrot was also seriously undercooked. There's a difference between Al Dente and undercooked; a chef should know such a simple difference.\n\nThe Potatoes... how can a chef screw up a staple like potatoes? We all eat potatoes, we can expect better than fried whole potatoes that have absolutely no seasoning or taste, are dry and crunchy; just so wrong.\n\nLast but no least on the hit list, the Filet Mignon. Now correct me if I'm wrong because I'm no steak expert but I eat enough steak in steakhouses and consider myself a bit of a connoisseur, but Filet Mignon shouldn't be marbled with fat and nerving right? Well I had to chainsaw this Filet Mignon and after three bites I was done.\n\nThat was it. Three bites of my steak and one half of a potato and I couldn't eat anymore. I was beyond disappointed. I knew I wasn't stepping into a high end restaurant, but it does hold up a promise of fine dining. This was ridiculous, flavourless and pretty much revolting.\n\nDesert... there was no desert;\nI couldn't take any more disappointment this evening. Why is it restaurants or chefs can't prepare simple things like a steak? This is Montreal, a world renowned steak town and this supposedly fine dinning restaurant can't prepare a decent steak? When I try out new restaurants I go for the simple items on the menu, because that's the true test of a chef. If I go to an Italian restaurant and I order the ever classic and simple Alfredo and I can taste that it comes from a starch filled envelope, when it's quite possibly the easiest sauce to prepare, I will never set foot in that restaurant again; as I will do with L'Acad\u00e9mie.\n\nA generous 1 outta 5.


Epitome of \"Ghetto\".\n\nIf you do plan to stay here, please don't have high expectations. They say that this hotel is 5 stars, pleeaase dont believe it. Don't expect a flat screen tv and don't expect your sheets to be changed! It feels like you went back to the 70s. The room was so small and so was everything else in the room. The beds are not at all comfortable, it is the first time i ever woken up with a sore back. The service and the manager could not care less about you, so if your expecting some \"great\" service, please save your money for a better hotel. The buffet was bad, i feel like i wasted my 29.99+ tax. There is no wifi, you can only get connection through a telephone wire and they will charge you if you use more than one laptop. The pool was small and it seemed dirty ek.... the casino was small compare to the other hotels, not so many bars, so your forced to go outside.\n\nThe only good thing of this hotel is the location, right in the middle of Las Vegas Strip, so if your into partying it hard and getting no sleep this is your hotel.


Great customer service, Best glass company in all of Maricopa County. Highly recommend. Professional staff


I wanted to try something besides my usual, and Yelp lead me to Holley's on a Saturday around noon. The place reminded me a a coffee bar I might come across at a college campus. I ordered a soy hot chocolate and pumpkin bread. There were a handful of ladies behind the counter that seemed more interested in chatting with each other than working. I wasn't wowed or overly impressed. Nothing that stood out as a negative.... Just think I will stick to my usual place.


Major disappointment. \n\nI've visited a handful of different LA Fitness' locations in the valley and this is BY FAR the worst one I've been to.  I consider LA Fitness to be a pretty solid chain gym and this location is simply not up to par . The gym is small and the equipment appears outdated.  Needless to say I probably won't be returning if I happen to be in the area.


First, the good:  The room was nice and clean and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.\n\nNow, the bad:  for some reason, no one seems to have noticed the INCREDIBLY LOUD PLUMBING in this place.  I was staying in one of the rooms that had a view of the lake and whenever one of the three neighboring bathrooms would turn on their water, it would make more noise than my alarm clock.  The view was quite nice, but since I'm here for a job interview, I care more about sleep than scenery.  \n\nTo the hotel's credit, when I called the front desk at 11:30pm b/c I couldn't take it anymore, the fellow at the desk came right up to take me to a new room, helped carry my bags over, and refused a tip.  He was really quite courteous and friendly.  Without the exceptional service, I'd give this an Eeks!  \n\nStill, if you stay here and want primarily to be able to sleep, I recommend asking for a street-view room instead of a lake-view room.  You will have fewer shared walls and the adjacent rooms will be more likely to be empty so you will sleep better. \n\nAlso, I have the same weird skin thing from the water...it might just be that I'm not used to the low humidity here, but I'd expect that to show up as chapped lips first.  My legs and shins are all itchy and scratchy...kinda weird.  \n\nGratefully, no spiders...


I love getting a shave. Its a personal treat for myself that I try to get once every other month.  I've gone to this V's down the street from me about 4 times for a cut and shave and only twice have walked away happy and those were my first two visits and it just kept getting worse. \n\nTrying to get an appointment on Friday or the weekend is a wasted effort but then again so is trying to make one for any other time. I thought I knew the the drill with this place by now. Close at 6pm no shave appointments past 5pm all of which I can understand for a good cut and shave. \n\nSo today with my girlfriends birthday weekend around the corner I call in and make my appointment at 5pm for a cut and shave knowing full well I had a less than great experience on my last visit. But a boy has a right to dream I guess. I leave work early to be there at 5 mins early only to be told to sit and wait a half hour which sucks but its not the first time they have failed the appointment game for me thus the 5 mins early. But I think I'm getting my shave so I sit and wait my turn.\n\nAfter my wait they get me in the chair and give me the worst speed cut I've ever had. My scalp still stings 2 hours later from the buzzer being dragged through it. After the \"cut\" the barber (if you want to call him that) asks \"Did you want a shave too?\". Is it really that hard for someone to tell you up front they don't have time to give you a shave?\n\nI was kind of at a lost for words which wasn't a problem for him because he filled the silence with \"Cause I can buzz it off and save you a few bucks but we need to close our doors\". Knowing that I have a full schedule till the weekend and thinking it couldn't be worse than me doing it myself I made the terrible mistake of letting him \"buzz it off\" which is the equivalent of letting someone take an electric sander to your face. No oils, no soothing balm, no warm towel just some deep red scratches and a feeling of dejection. \n\nAll of this, my leaving work early 30 mins early, my wasted 30 mins waiting , my blitz of a hair cut and my 'not shave' with scars included cost me $31. Which is a $13 savings compared with my last visit. \n\nAnd that was and will be my last visit to V's Barbershop.


Went for the first time last week.  Great patio.  As far as food, only had nachos.  Wow I cant believe restaurants use cheese wiz.  Come on lets use some real cheese please !


This location is hard to get to if you are not familiar with the area... but they are very helpful and fast to get you in and out.  My friend needed access to a large sum of money that he couldn't pull from an ATM, so we drove to this location and were able to get help.  Thanks NFCU


Took my cat here back in Feb when he so sweetly started using the bottom of the stairs, AKA the landing outside my bedroom, as his personal litter box.  He's has bladder infections in the past so I assumed it was what this was.\n\nI didn't read reviews until after he'd been dropped off.  And I was kicking myself.  Any chance this place had to nickel and dime me, they did it.  He had to stay overnight and I had called to get a status on how he was.  A nurse said a Dr. would call me back and explain everything.  One never did.  When I went to pick him up he was brought out and I was handed his pills w/instructions to take one daily.  Starting when I asked?  Today, tomorrow?  The guy was like uh I just got here.  Fantastic.\n\nTwo weeks later he had to go back for a check-up.  He was still using the floor as his litter box.  So again I wanted some answers if he was still sick.  Well they said without x-rays and all these other tests they wouldn't know.  Oh and we also wanted an answer as to why when he came home the 1st time his neck was shaved??  So my younger sister took it upon herself to rip into these people, and we were finally given some answers.  \n\nHonestly it was just not a good experience and I know better now.  I just feel so bad for some of the people whose horror stories I've read and feel a bit lucky it wasn't as bad as needing to go to court over or anything worse.


Take any lounge/club but make it during the daytime + outside at a nice pool + there you have Tao Beach. And, of course, true to any clubbing-like experience, your perceptions of how good your time was is dependent on \n       A) how hot/fun/young the crowd is that day\n            + \n       B) how much you drink\nOur group of all girls came on a Sunday early afternoon + pretty much had a good time considering the crowd was young + good-looking + we each had at least a few drinks in our system. If you're looking for a place to just lay out + relax, Tao Beach isn't for you. You can go to a regular hotel pool for that. This is one of the many hotspots to get the party started before night falls.\n\n* Location - Before heading to the pool, the line starts downstairs where you have to get hand-stamped on the ground floor by the Coffee Bean. I don't know if this is how they always do it, but it's pretty smart to have this first bouncer indoors considering the heat. Once stamped on the wrist http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/qEJjv2k8nDhOiYpmi_aVOw?select=iAkuMc24VMqSvK2cT2_2nA, the Venetian pools are up on the 4th floor where you'll pass through the regular pool before seeing the line + hearing the bumping music for Tao Beach. Here's another line where you get your wristband + a complimentary towel.   \n\n* Parking - Venetian self-park, walk over, or take a taxi.\n\n* Venue - Yea, it's pretty small... Most of the action happens at a shallow pool at the far end where party-goers dance + mingle in the cloudy waters http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/qEJjv2k8nDhOiYpmi_aVOw?select=Mfs0mR6_guMJ0b8IFXgD2Q then there's a middle section of daybeds + umbrellas before the bar + some tables at the other end. The whole area is surrounded by tables + colorful cabanas that you can reserve for a pretty penny. Unless all the tables aren't reserved or you know people (or can get to know people, haha) who have tables, there isn't much space to tan or leave your things. There's another really small jacuzzi-sized pool by the bar, but it's in an awkward place so no one really goes in there.\n\n* Cleanliness - Like any pool, it's not going to be clean after a only couple hours. Considering that there's hundreds of people dancing, splashing + doing their thing in there all day... mmm yea, murky waters. However, there's staff around that monitors that no one's drinking in the pool. The guy blows a whistle + points so everyone pretty much stares down the wrong-doer until he/she gets out. The pool deck area is fine. It can get pretty slippery when wet, though, if you're walking or dancing around barefoot. \n\n* Crowd - It takes a certain kind of person to come to a pool party... one who isn't shy to strip down to a bikini/swim shorts + is down to get their drink on in broad daylight to loud bumping music. Tao Beach is for the young + good-looking... plus the many who wish they were or have the guts to come. Seeing a 40-something year old guy doing a gyrating solo performance on the side of the pool + flashing a thong under his shorts was an interesting spectacle, haha. Other than that, expect the people here to be slightly on the younger side of the 21+ crowd.  \n\n* Music - Top hip hop hits plus some EDM mixed in here + there. I'm pretty sure the DJ played some repeats during the 3-4 hours we there, but whatever. It's the kind of beats that has everyone up + dancing in the pool or having a good time on the deck or by the bar. \n\n* Bar - There's a few small tables to sit at, but it's mostly just a small bar at the end specializing in frozen drinks + whatever else you'd want to keep you cool in the Vegas heat. There's another bar closer to the pool as well. I honestly didn't spend too much time at the bar but when I did drink... I wasn't the one buying, haha. Bartenders are hot chicks. \n\n* Drinks - As mentioned, they specialize in frozen drinks + have some of their red-bikini waitresses going around with shots. Prices are high... in the range of $10+ for most everything, but then again it is Vegas...\n\n* Bathroom - It's very inconveniently located all the way back by the entrance to the whole pool area. Sure it's a decent size, but considering how many people are not only at Tao Beach but also the general Venetian pool... yea. Go before you enter if you can.  \n\n* Price - Like pretty much every other group of girls, we got in free. It being a summer weekend, guys have to pay... but the amount is anything from $20 + up depending on how many guys + how crowded the space is. If you're a guy, I recommending either staying at Venetian or Palazzo to get in free or coming early with a group of girls to help your chances of not having to wait forevermore or pay more.    \n\n* Misc - The day we went happened to be Pamela Anderson's birthday http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/qEJjv2k8nDhOiYpmi_aVOw?select=GgsOJyOXaAlwlYWGBtrUtw so she made a 30-second appearance at the DJ booth before disappearing back into the private cabanas. Too bad I didn't manage to snap a picture of her...


This place sucks!! The cashiers at this location don't know what they are doing! I asked for a carne asada burrito with red sauce on top and  aka a wet burrito, she told me no, she doesn't feel like making it! First of all, that's rude!  2 I'm the paying customer I get the order the way I want even if it means me paying more. And three where the hell is customer service!! Never again!! I has to talk to the manager and she said they don't have one???? Really??


Great sandwich. The location is out of the way but I'll go back.


Visited last Saturday evening and nothing was \"good\".  Drinks were sub-par and no, not because there wasn't enough booze, because bitters shouldn't be used by the spoonful.  The food was very meh....4 people dined.  Patty melt was ok, Greek burger would have been ok...but who the heck puts olives WITH pits on a burger???  The server happened to check on us right after the pit was bit into and when my friend mentioned to the server that he was just trying to figure out if he cracked a tooth from the pits...she laughed and went \"yeah\".  The potato skins were so dried out they were mostly inedible.  The fries never saw a grain of salt...or any seasoning for that matter.  Our server was nice but kept forgetting about us or had way too many tables.  We waited forever for food because \"the kitchen was backed up\" but the place wasn't even full.  Had to get our own silverware, napkins and ketchup....you served coleslaw and french fries to us???


I love stoping by Anthology to pick up cards for special occasions and holidays.  It is very charming shop run by lovely people.  If you are looking for quality paper goods and the sweetest rubber stamps around, Anthology is surely the place for you.

I ate here last night with Eric R. and Tony T. and then once a year ago around this time.  A year ago, Eric R. called and reserved seats at the sushi bar once he confirmed the Texas football game was on TV, so we came to dine and watch football.  Last night we got there around 6:45 PM on a Sunday night and it was very packed except for 4 sushi bar spots open by the door.  The host told us 2 were reserved and since we were a party of 3, we could wait for others to finish - that was fine.  Later the host said the people who made the reservations were not coming so we could sit there.\n\nSoon, 3 people got up from the bar further into the restaurant so we asked to sit there, away from the door.  The male server/chef said sure, so we went to sit there but the host then said the reserved sign on the first seats that we were not allowed to sit on now must be moved to the other side of the bar because those customers like \"seats 1 and 2\" even though she said they were not coming.  The male server/chef and the host argued and finally we were allowed to sit away from the door.  After we were seated, the whole bar cleared and no one showed up for the reservation, so all of that was annoying.\n\nOnce seated we tried a lot of different things.  I had iced green tea which was nice and grassy.  The standouts for me were the mackerel and the ika with shiso leaf.  They were so good that I ordered them twice.  The mackerel was perfectly cured - not dry, too meaty, or fishy, topped with grated ginger and chopped negi.  The squid was very fresh and not too chewy.  I really enjoyed both of these the most.  The whole scallop sushi was really fresh too.\n\nThe pretty good items were the hamachi (we got belly cuts on request) with serrano pepper, salmon nigiri, tako, uni, amaebi (some were missing tails, and we requested the heads after and they were very small and oily but tasted okay).  Eric R. and Tony T. had some things I did not try, including surf clam, halibut, escolar, unagi, maguro, tamago, masago with quail egg and ikura.  They both had the teriyaki/bulgogi beef which was actually almost exactly like gyudon and pretty tasty.  I also had a yellowtail jalapeno handroll which was fine.\n\nThe bad: Tony T. and I both ordered salmon skin temaki early in the meal.  The chef tried to discourage us because \"it takes at least 10 minutes\" - I did not mind because it is normal to wait for the skin to bake/toast, so we said sure.  Well when it came out, I heard Tony crunch his a little but all of the skin (and there was A LOT) was just raw fat and skin, not hot or cooked at all!  I pulled all of it out and put it on a plate, and showed the chef.  I did not want another one but I wanted him to know this was unacceptable so he did not serve it to anyone else.  He apologized and said he should have checked it before serving, but this was not his fault but whoever made it in the kitchen.  I did not want another one and a server snatched it out of my hand and whisked it away.  Tony T. also ordered seared tuna carpaccio which the restaurant initially forgot and when it was delivered it looked kind of like cat food.  He said it was very salty.  For dessert the AYCE says only one mochi but Eric R. ordered 2 without any issue.  I got plum wine ice cream which tasted exactly like bubblegum ice cream and it was nasty.  Don't do it!  I should just stick with my uni as dessert policy.\n\nOverall, it satisfied our sushi cravings in the area since Taiga and 808 Tapas were closed, but I would not rush back.  I would definitely recommend a stop here for saba and ika lovers though, because they were pretty great.  Also I second Drew A. on the pricing - if you do not do AYCE you end up paying bizarre prices like $9 for a tiny bowl of the beef.  The nigiri is priced almost $2 higher per order than other a la carte places too.  The chefs were friendly but swamped and it was very hard to order anything because they did not often look up at anyone at the bar, which was sunken.  Drinks were refilled often and the service was otherwise very good.  Open til 3 AM even on Sunday!


Had the all-you-can-eat experience and was quite happy with the results.  \n\nYay for the flank steak (had like 5 servings), the bacon-wrapped turkey and the hawaiian chicken.  The sides were pretty good as well.  The rice and beans and fried plantains were decent.  However, it was all about the meat!  And the caipirinhas!!!


I stopped by here a while ago while staying at the Aria on business.  We had walked past the patisserie when headed up to our rooms and the brightness of the area along with the cakes really caught my eye. So the next morning whenever i was craving some coffee I decided to head down and get my fianc\u00e9 and I each one.  Whenever I got down there I was able to see the multi tiered cakes up close and they were truly amazing!  It made me wonder how long it took to make them.  After a short wait I made it to the front of the line and ordered two Americanos only to watch them punch something into a machine and have it spot them out.  For the $10 it cost I was really hoping to have the barista take a minute and pull the shots.  The coffee itself was decent but not great.\n\nThe bottom line for me is that I would not head back here again in the future for coffee.  However I would definitely give it a try if I was looking for a baked good.


Good food. OK prices. Just hope you never have a problem you want resolved because the management is no help whatsoever. You can't expect much from someone who manages a grocery store though.


Loved the atmosphere, excellent music, very cool patrons and staff.  The seaweed salad was excellent!


Policing isn't a topic which interests me from a purely factual point of view, but I can still appreciate a well put together Museum.\n\nEdinburgh Police Centre Museum is a wee free museum on the Royal Mile. It's run by Lothian and Borders Police, but the museum isn't from a too overly police perspective. It tells the story of Edinburgh's police force and some of the more colourful episodes of Edinburgh's criminal history. Despite my initial lack of enthusiasm even I managed to find the displays entertaining.\n\nThe museum is literally one room and shouldn't take long to look around. The space is used efficiently and there's a decent amount to take in considering.\n\nIt's free, it doesn't take long and it's right in the middle of town. So if you are at all interested, you have no excuse to pop in.


After a long day, my vendor and I met up for dinner.  I asked him, what do you want to eat, he says he wants a piece of steak.  At first I said no but then I was like, I do want steak.  We scoured opentable and voila, Morels it was.\n\nWe ordered the caesar salad which was made table side.  It is a caesar salad, nothing special although I thought it had too much acidity and I wouldn't have minded some anchovies.  Before the salad came I was famished but the bread was nowhere to be seen.  I'm not sure why we had to ask them to bring the bread but we did however it was warm and soft and the butter and olive tapenade that came with it were a perfect combination.\n\nI did order a steak, a bone in rib eye but I had so much bread I couldn't finish it all.  The steak though wasn't all that great.  It was well cooked; I asked for medium rare and I got medium rare but the seasoning that was on it wasn't flavorful enough and the flavor it did have wasn't all that good.\n\nWe also ordered the pomme frites which are thin cut fries and those I do not like even though the truffle mayo it came with was delicious and a good sauce for the steak.  \n\nService was good and attentive.  I would probably want to try other steak houses next time I'm here.


Good: \n + Excellent kiddie island - 4 stories of much fun and usable by adults.\n+ Very good set of toddler slides (choice of 4)\n+ New facility - opened in May 2013\n+ Excellent swimmer to lifeguard ratio\n+ Super fun rides including a slide racer where 5-6 sliders race down the watery rainbow slope\n+ Food taste - had a very tasty chicken teriyaki sandwich\n+ There are some water misters in the wait lines to keep you cool\n+ An excellent adjacent public park was fun to play in after we left the swimpark for the day\n\nBad:\n - Location. This new location is far, far off the Strip and requires a long drive to get there. Back parking lot is a hike to the front.\n - Cost. Everything costs so much - extra for parking, extra for tube rental, expensive locker rental, extra expense for line-jumping pass, extremely costly charge ($150) for cabana rental. This is on top of the hefty $40 per adult charge.\n - Changing Rooms. Little to no clothes changing stalls in both male and female bathrooms; very few showers.\n - Entry. Entrances to the wave pool and lazy river are narrow and cause congestion\n - Tubes. You have to haul your own float tube to the top of the rides - no conveyor belt to assist in getting the tube to the top\n - Wait time - longish lines (without the line jump band) meant a long wait between fun rides.\n - Special salt water conditioning system in pools is harsh on swim suits - my daughter's dark pink suit came home very light pink\n\nTip:\n* Take your own shade and chairs - those are in short supply\n* Be sure to wear flip-flops or watershoes to all the rides - there is a LOT of non-shaded cement and it gets very hot.


We stayed here in May 2009, and we are going back to Montreal this May, but are staying somewhere less expensive with a bigger kitchenette in the same area. \n\nThere were four of us who had booked a room for a music festival we flew to Montreal to see, and we all showed up with our laptops so we can stay in touch back home (cuz what is a vacation without work?) However \"Complimentary High Speed internet\" does not mean high speed wi-fi, so we had to take turns plugging our laptops in or dragging our shit into the lobby, which was the one place where the wi-fi actually worked (even though it was super slow, high-speed my ass!) The \"Fitness Centre\" consisted of a treadmill, a bike and some weights, which looked as though they had all been purchased in the 70's, and since the room had no windows you could open, it got really stuffy, really fast. \n\nI think my favourite part of our week-long stay though was the housekeeping. Now, I don't mean to blame the housekeepers, but since the hotel had given out discounts for all the out-of-town people who were staying there for festival, you would think they would not wake us up at the ungodly hour of 8am, especially since the festival went until 3am, not to mention any afterparties... In any case, we went to the front desk to see about getting a \"do not disturb sign\" and they told us they didn't have any. So we decided to draw a picture of us sleeping and turn it into a home-made sign. Magically, a \"do not disturb\" sign appeared on our door handle the next morning! Hallelujah! We were safe to sleep in for the rest of the trip!  \n\nThe hotel did offer a complimentary breakfast, if you were able to drag your hungover ass down to the lobby before 10am, and honestly free doesn't always = good. Only two of the four of us were able to swallow our liquid dinners long enough to run downstairs, fill up a plate, throw it in the fridge and run back to bed, but most of the time it wasn't really worth it, unless you wanted to try and strike up a conversation with some of the other zombies who were staying for the festival too. I should have just stashed some cereal or granola bars in the hotel room. \n\nI will give the hotel props for storing our luggage on our checkout day since our flight was in the afternoon and not in the morning, I really did appreciate that. I guess the reason I am only giving this three stars is because it was pretty pricey, even split four ways, and as someone who has travelled a lot, I have experienced better.


This place has a nice small bar feel but still delivers all the amenities. I frequent Tailgaters during UFC events but I also enjoy non event days as well.The food is above average for bar food and the staff is great. I recommend this place and you get what you pay for.


My daughter and I went there for an early dinner on a Saturday afternnoon.  The tacos were really good.  Megan had beef tacos and some rice and I had the pork tacos and rice.  Of course nothing goes better with tacos than diet coke.  Megan's tacos were great, and mine were good too.  Wasn't real fond of the sweet pineapple salsa on the pork, but I just dug that off after the first bite and poured on the salsa.  The reason for the 3 stars you ask?  Parking absolutely sucks.  I mean it took us as long to park as it did to eat our tacos.  And then of course you have to pay to park, which sucks some more.  Just for that reason, I wouldn't go back.  Move your business, Fuego.


This is for the Sunday night concert series. If you like families and dogs and strollers and people running around your blanket and trains blaring their horns and lousy sound systems and parking from hell, the Sunday night concert series should be on your radar. My chunky date and myself found a decent location away from the stage, but still experienced most everything previously mentioned. None of it really bothered us too much, so if you can endure all of that or actually somebody with multiple dogs and kids, then this is your piece of cake. The Scottsdale douchebag factor was not in effect, but you will have to arrive early to get a spot across the street. Now, it might have been more crowded due to holiday weekend, but who knows unless I go again which I doubt.


Ordered hot rock bi bim bap...tasty, but probably wouldn't order again. I'll try the bulgogi next time...or maybe the meat jun. Kimchi was delicious! Filled up on all the wonderful appetizers before I got my main dish. Ordered manju to go, but ended up eating half before i left as it was so tasty! Owners were welcoming and helpful. I did have to wait for a bit for service as they were so busy, bur it was worth the wait. Will eat there every trip to Vegas from now on. Probably one of the best hole in the wall, and Korean style restauran I've been to.


Stay away from The Children's Place! There's an old bitchy lady that works there that's rude as all out!! I went there today to use a gift card that was given to my 5yr.old on his birthday to get him some p.j.'s.\nBefore I even walked through the front entrance, this wicked witch of the store comes rushing up to me and says,\"What're you looking for!!??\" Not even a hello or good morning!  I told her that I was looking to get my son some p.j.'s, and with that she said \"OH... CARRY ON!\" I was like, WTF!?  So I just blew her off and went on with my business thinking she was just having a \"senior \" moment. But come check out, she said forcefully that needed my email address and phone number  to complete the transaction. I told her I just wanted to pay and wasn't interested in whatever promo they were offering. She then said with a huff, \"FINE!\", and mumbled something under breath. \nI then asked her if there was a problem, and all I got for an answer was a serious glare with attitude! \nAll I can say is if this is the way this company trains its employees, I'm NOT shopping there again!


The prices are on par with LA but thankfully the food and service are as well.   Thin style pizzas done in the Northern Italian style (they claim to be Serbian) very similar to Pavich's in San Pedro Ca (which is Croatian). Housemade crust stretched very thin cook fully crisp, lightly sauced, house made mozzarella (!), FRESH toppings.  House salad was straight forward lightly dressed. Ricotta/goat cheese croistini was delish and half priced before 7pm. Creme Brullee was done well if a smallish portion.  Milk Rabbit beer on tap.


There's not much to say about Blizz, except that they offer what they say they offer (froyo and smoothies), albeit it at a bit of a higher price than I'm used to. I ended up going with the acai berry smoothie, which was pretty much what I expected, albeit a bit steep at an $8 starting price (and nearly an additional $1 for any boosters). It was okay, if a little bit on the bland side, and the protein powder seemed pretty weak relative to other smoothies I've had that usually have that boost.\n\nThe service was fine and quick, but if you are looking for something new or unique, Blizz is just your generic (albeit overpriced) smoothie and yogurt joint. There has to be a Pinkberry (or something similar) somewhere else on the Strip that would be better.


I have never had such poor customer service at a pharmacy.   I fax'ed them my script, insurance card, and driver's license, and when they said my insurance claim was denied (which didn't sound right), I paid cash for the expensive script over the phone and requested delivery so I didn't have to drive 45 minutes to them.  The delivery driver called when I was away from home, and I told him I would be gone for 2 hours or more, but that if it needed to stay cold I could just pick it up the next day.  He said that the vial was in with a cold pack and insisted that it would be ok on my doorstep for a couple hours in 90 degree heat, when it turns out it was just in a regular bag.  I called the pharmacy the next day to explain what happened, and that I now had a script that was no longer good, and they tried to say it was my fault for agreeing to have the driver leave it because the driver isn't allowed to know what's in the bag.  I was very surprised at how poorly they treated me up to this point, but it only got worse.  \nUpon my urging, they reluctantly called the driver and he gave the same account (he should have at least known it needed to remain cold and not in 90 degree heat on a doorstep), so they said they would order me another vial free of charge.  When I came to pick the new one up they demanded the old one back (which they didn't request before on the phone, luckily I saved it!!) and when I explained that they didn't mention that on the phone and that I live 45 min away, the tech actually yelled at me, and the pharmacist ganged up on me and started yelling as well.  I made the round trip to bring back the old vial and finally got the new vial.  On top of all of this, they also had my last name incorrect on the script, and said I had to pay cash when it turns out they didn't bill it correctly to my insurance and never gave me a receipt.  When I tried to have them bill the insurance again they couldn't figure out how to do it, despite having all of my information.  \nThey were obviously very angry at the monetary loss and sadly were not professional overall.  Having a delivery person is nice, but I was surprised at how many details were missing from this transaction (getting my name wrong, not billing insurance correctly, and not supplying me with a receipt).  I would get your meds elsewhere!!


Save your money- go to Panda Express. That's a shame I feel Panda Express is higher quality than this place. I ordered teriyaki chicken, shrimp chow mien, orange chicken, egg rolls and white rice. First red flag was the broken soft drink fountain they had - the lemonade just produced the syrup, no actual lemonade. The orange chicken was obviously stale. The meat was like chewing plastic. The teriyaki chicken was disgusting, how hard is it to at least pour some teriyaki sauce over some grilled chicken, at the least. The sauce they use is a  gravy of some sort, I could honestly place it on top a bed of mashed potatoes. The white rice was hard and must have been a leftover batch from yesterday or hours before. The egg rolls were mediocre, a little greasy but whatever. The only thing that was decent was the shrimp chow mien, there were only 4 or 5 shrimp (large order) but at least the taste was there. This was my first and most definitely my last visit to \"NO NO NO\"!


It's Vegas, and you think o yourself, let's have fun and try something new, let's forget Yelp for a day and just take a chance. It's Vegas baby, there is no bad food on the strip, look at this beautiful new hotel Aria with the fancy waterfall - how can you go wrong?\n\nThen you find yourself sitting with hopelessness, as the staff ignores you, in a cafe that looks like its made from melted beer bottles, cheap modernism design, and tasteless food. After waiting for 40 minutes to get our dishes, I find myself wondering where my money went? I ordered a roast  rib sandwich and I wished I was at Subways eating a $5 foot long. The meat was dry, the bread was hard, the sauce came straight out of a plastic BBQ bottle. Fries were old, the tea was watered down Lipton, only thing decent was the bread..... Seems like the cooks ran out of any type of seasoning in the kitchen. We also ordered their white fish special, which is equally overpriced and void of any sort of taste. (hi, can I have extra lemon for my water please?)  For a moment there I wonder if my tongue was numb. \n\nThe awesome sound insulation in the restaurant means you can hear every Thump of bass from night Club below. So imagine yourself sitting in this room decorated with left over construction pieces, listening yo hip hop bass vibrating below your feet, staring at a couple of plates of $35 dishes you really don't want to eat, and waiting for your ice tea refill that will never come. \n\nThe second waitress was much nicer, but by now I'm ready to drown myself in deafening music over the self hatred for taking a chance on Cafe Vettro.


Good place for a quick lunch. Sandwiches, soups, and salads.  Fast service although everything is prepared to order.  Prices are very reasonable.


Best place to eat in AZ


It's very smokey but I love the true non smoking section for bingo. Bingo is great here.


We randomly stumbled upon it on Sunday night/Monday morning. Had no idea it was a club let alone a restaurant.\nIts a small dimly lit circular room that offers a crazy variety of music.\n\nthe con here was they expected ladies to pay $20 for entrance with the promise of free drinks all night.. Since when do ladies ever need to pay in Vegas?\n(we ended up getting in free)\n\nEnded up having a decent time


Alysia wasn't even our bartender and she was very nice, very personable and had outstanding customer service!!!


Excellent service and very attentive. Had the loaded fries and grilled chicken sandwich, which were both good. Solid bar food.


Its an ok place... I wouldnt reeeeeeeally go here if we weren't invited with a table. The place is very small which would be great if there wouldn't be 200 people cramped on 2squaremeters. I felt like I was in China or subway in NYC. At least the people smelled good, unlike NYC subway. A lot of fake plastic chickerias running around there. Hard to guess their age so I felt comftable, being only 27 myself of course.\nThe drinks are EXPENSIVE!! I got us 3 shots since I didnt feel like some metrosexual spikedhairguy buying me drinks, and I can afford my own. Well... it was 36$, yes you read right, for 3!! shots. I asked where the diamonds are cause I couldnt find them in there.\nI wrote on the slip too that \" I aint no rich bitch \" under gratidue. SORRY bartender dude. But with these prices you should get the novel price.\nOh well, its still fun. Make sure you PRE BOOZE heavily or bring a dude along that has a platinum credit card.


Holy cow this guy is a WF junkie!\n\nWell I was kinda before but yesterday put me over the edge. We stopped in for our normal shopping and discovered they had put in some dart boards and booths in the \"Tasting room\".A place with 29 Craft beers on tap.  Three hours later mutiple samples and a \"Black dog\" later. WOOF!! \n\nI have to thank James and Seth for thier hospitality and recomendations. \n\nOn top of that I ran into one of my friends Matt ( I call him frogger cause of the way he drives on the highway) and we had some fun drinkin some samples and enjoying the new digs over a sandwhich from the new \"tasting room\" menu YUMMMMMMAAEEEEE!. Good times. good times! \n\nI gotta feeling I will be here more. I do wish i could \"check in\" on my phone but my phone doesnt do that. :( Anyway Fantastic job WF!!!!\n\nreview time\n\nTasting room curbage: 14.5 (way over the top)\nP factor: 7 ( could have used some attention today)\nfood: 10 (my favorite sammich)\nbeer: 99 (Black dog/ half dogfish head world stout18% and half Avery \"the beast 16%)\n\nI cannot put enough i\"s in niiiiiiiiiiiiiice to describe this beer, you have to try it yourself. A word of warning though, THIS BEER IS NOT FOR ROOKIES! It is very strong and will get you into la la land!\n\nCant wait till next time!\n\nLate!\nGordo


I read that the Chunk Chicken was awesome, well it wasn't.  $13 for a bowl of chicken???  Yes it came out in less than 5 minutes but there was nothing special about it.  For $13 you think that you would get more than a bowl of rice and $2 worth of chicken.  It was a bunch of semi over cooked chicken.  Nothing visually appealing and the taste, well, it was just OK.  I'll go back to try something else, but this was not the greatest of food everyone on yelp was applauding.


My friends and I waited 2 hours for the buffet about 2-3 weeks after it first opened.  It was $39.  I heard it was $35 but I guess they maybe jacked up the price for the I Heart Radio weekend.\n\nTip: Each person in your group should get a player's card to save $3 on the buffet.  (the $39 was after the discount)\n\nMy thoughts on the buffet...\n\nFood - AMAZING! They have so much variety from Asian, Italian, Mexican, American, etc. They have BBQ pork ribs, beef brisket, tomohawk steaks,truffled potato, sweet potato fries, seafood like crab legs, shrimp, and mussels. They have dim sum, ramen and pho!  If you like hot crab legs, ask the chefs to get it for you from the back.  They don't put the hot ones out in front for some reason, only the cold ones.\n\nOnly bad thing was no fruit for dinner except if you can find them as toppings from the desserts. Some desserts to name a few arecrepes, cupcakes, cakes, creme brulee, gelato, tiramisu, mousse, souffles, and cake pops.  Desserts looked great but wish they tasted better.\n\nPresentation - Super cute! It's very similar to the presentation at Wicked Spoon at the Cosmo.  They have their fried chicken in mini frying baskets and mini ketchup bottles.  The amount of desserts were impressive but I wish they spent more time of the taste of it instead of how it looked.  \n \nService - POOR.  I understand they were crazy busy but our waitress would forget one drink and bring another.  She wouldn't take our plates away without being asked.  I expected better service for the price you pay.\n\nIf you're a vegetarian, you should probably stay away.  You would not get your money's worth at this buffet.


Coming from Philadelphia I have a few things to say about good Italian food.  \nThis place is good, but not great, and the price compared to the portion size is not good.  The bread they give you before the meal is very nice and tasty.  The atmosphere is a bit ostentatious;  I going to  guess the clientele have money and they don't treat the wait staff very well, so the wait staff intern are not very friendly.  This is common in these neighborhood higher end restaurants, sad but true.  I can get better Italian for cheaper with a more laid back atmosphere else ware in the valley, but this is a hard combination to find in this area of the county.


Considering I've really only experiences this establishment for a few minutes at a time, here is my short review. \n1. Great hours and not too hard to get in or out of. Note - can't get in on Tyvola side but can on the Old Pineville side \n2. Comparable prices to other washes like this. Greenway Express is still my favorite in S. Tryon. $10 plus $1 upgrade yesterday for the \"lava\" which is supposed to add another level of protection \n3. Thing is, on my husbands black car, there were spots so not sure everything got rinsed? It was a lot cleaner coming out than it was going in though. Needed salt washed off from WV last weekend and it did the trick


So this was my first and probably only time that I will be staying at a Aloft hotel chain.....\nThe hotel concept is based on competing with the entry level Motel 6 and lower end Best Westerns... But with a nice chic/edgy decor that is geared toward the younger crowd..college age or very young professionals..\n\nNot a bad concept but what kills this is the lack of lack of a proper checks and balances in the housekeeping/ maintenance department.\n\nI stayed at two different locations this past week....the Tempe one and the Airport Aloft. Both had issues with room cleanliness, not necessarily the maids fault as some issues were room damage that should of been fixed by management.\nService was hit and miss.... A...first day check in staff was ok...female bartender was friendly and gave us tips on were to go for St. Paddys day \n\nBut one guy working the desk (in his late 30's or early 40's) refused to re-magnetize our door key because none of us were listed on the reservation or the room...so after about 15 minutes of us making phone calls to get our buddy's brother on the phone we finally got our key magnetized....and he literally said \" oh yea I do see your name on the reservation, not sure how I missed it\"!...\n\nOhhh and one female bartender actually had BALLs to ask where a shot glass went from the shot he bought me... As I was sitting in the lounge area while they played pool...he pointed in my direction and told her he bought it for me...she said ohhh..I don't want you walking away with it....I guess there is a shot glass stealing issue at the Aloft Tempe  location\n\nList of pros:\nFree wifi\nFree pool table in lobby\n free water bottles and coffee in room\nDecor was nice and appealing\nGood happy hour from 5-7...$2 drafts\nCons:\nBoth locations had stained carpets in room\nPillows are really small almost travel size\nRooms are on the small side \nAll three rooms and both locations had damaged walls from the desk chair\nVery little storage room \nComforters in two rooms were stained ...lack of a cover on the comforters means they have to wash the entire thing after each guest....which I highly doubt they do\nAnd the coupe de grace was a red stain on the bed sheets of king bed at the Tempe location..about the size of nickel and the 2nd stain the size of a 3 quarters put together in a triangle shape.\n\nThere was a group of us and one reservation was lost so two of us stayed one night at Airport location while the rest stayed at Tempe location.  Overall all 3 rooms had similar issues at two different locations so  either is. Chain issue or a Phoenix issue....


I would give this club a zero if i could. This place is filled with douche bags. \n\nWhen my friend tried to get in with her OWN id card the bouncer wouldn't let her in saying that it wasn't her. So we tried to reason with the guy, asking if we could bring some of her credit cards or other ids to prove that it was indeed her however he straight up said \"you're not getting in.\"  So we then tried to talk to the club manager and it turns out that he was one  useless person. When we told him the situation, all the manager could say was that \"I'm not trained to do this, he (bouncer) is.\"  At this point we were all frustrated and one of my other friends tried to talk to the bouncer again. He (the bouncer) probably figured by now that this was really her id (who in their right mind would try talking to the club manager with another person's id) and arrogantly told us that \" he would look at her other cards or ids because we were complaining too much, but he would not guarantee that she will be able to get in.\"  After that we just wanted to know this so-called \"well trained\" bouncer's name and he wouldn't even give it to us.\n\n All in all i regret ever attempting to get into the PURE nightclub. After reflecting the night I realized that it was a complete waste of time trying to get into the club seeing that there weren't any people going to that club anyways. ( a sign of a dying nightclub if not, a dead club)


We had a long wait at the airport. This was the only available option outside the security gate. So we did try it. The food was ok. I would have given it more stars if it wasn't for the extra $2,70 I was charged for more salsa for my nachos I ordered in addition to the burrito I had. Total damage this day (2 Persons) $32.
