What a disappoinment! I should have guessed when the bread baskets came out and they were filled with COLD bread!?! Really people? First off let me say this place was not our first choice. We had to settle for Buca because our party grew too large to be seated at our restaurant of choice. We all ordered entrees from the menu (not cheap either) and not one of them had any flavor! A plate of calamari with one lemon slice?Chicken Parm-soggy batter, way underseasoned marinara sauce, Manicotti-there is a better recipe on the box of pasta folks! Pasta in a white sauce, artichoke, sundried tomato, and chicken breast...same thing, bland bland bland. An Italian restaurant should romance you with all those wonderful smells. Next time, I'll not and say I did. :(


They were training a new employee when I arrived. It's an airport location but since I was the only customer, I expected nothing out of the ordinary. I asked for a tea latte with less ice but the girl taking my order just gave me a \"sure\" without passing on the specification. The barista making my drink gave me a full cup of ice (when I finished, half my cup was still crushed compacted ice) and then didn't bother to wipe down a dripping wet cup after she shook it. Splashes of tea all over my blouse? Not cool.\n\nOnly redeeming factor was when I asked to speak with a manager, she offered to refund my beverage and/or make a new one. I took the refund. She didn't look all that thrilled with listening to my problems. It's okay, I'm equally as not thrilled to be writing this review.


I mean I have been going here for years and it truly is A-OK. It's nothing amazing but after a long night out or if you happen to find yourself there the next morning, it's a solid place to grab something to eat. The food is solid but not mind blowing and the service is just right. Granted one of the biggest benefits to this cafe vs. other casino cafe's is they still offer Keno service to your table.


Great new frozen yogurt spot! There is a lot of choices here! you make your own selection of yogurt and choose from a wide variety of toppings.  The seating  area had some fancy space cadet chairs but not enough chairs and tables for the amount of customers.  Over all Oh Yogurt was a very clean and inviting place to enjoy a cool treat!  I would recommend to others  to try and I would definitely return.


My family ate here three times and two out of the trips was horrible and the other was marginal. The service was bad, we never saw our waiter and when we asked him for something he took forever to come back. Everybody except me ordered medium well steaks, I ordered a well done steak and had to send it back three times on every trip. For the price of the steak I ordered I should have been able to get what I wanted. \nWe decided to write the owner a letter describing our horrific experience and they never wrote back! They didn't care to fix the problem. So we tell everyone of our bad experience and we will never go back.


Solid breakfast food served in generous portions for a reasonable price! Waitresses were quick, friendly, hard working and accommodating. We couldn't help but laugh at the strange old man pointing patrons to their designated seats and muttering \"you're welcome\" even if they hadn't addressed him. Not an essential fixture while travelling in Montreal, but a charming little place nonetheless, and a proper diner if it's on the way and you have a large appetite for breakfast food. I would recommend their signature \"Mish Mash\" omelette - especially as a hangover remedy!


Let me say that I've done Vegas without LV Top Shelf and bought the tickets, waited in line, no special treatment, and it is definitely not as incredible as our experience with Skoti.\n\nRegardless of how big your group is, Skoti always make it super easy and gets you to the front of the line and into the clubs that you want. I've had friends text me once I get in the club telling me they saw me walk in and I just go \"whoops! well.... I'll see you when you're done in that line! (;\". If you want the VIP treatment, he is definitely the guy to go to. I recently introduced some friends to Skoti the last time we booked a cabana at Encore Beach Club, and boy were they massively impressed. All of us can honestly say we had the best time of our lives. \n\nI don't think I could ever experience the Vegas clubbing scene without Skoti. Unless you happen to like waiting in uncomfortable heels in massively long lines as your buzz dwindles away and your seal is about to be broken, then sure, you don't need his services. Otherwise, there is no one else I would recommend for all your Vegas needs.\n\nFYI, coming from a huge foodie, Skoti's restaurant recommendations are ON POINT. Highly, highly recommend.


Not my first time here but for sure it's going to be my last. So much for the \"best\" package because it was the worse. Nothing was wiped down. Dust was still sitting on my dash board. Windows were horrible. Back seats and truck wasn't even touched. The side of my doors were all foot prints. I had to ask them to wipe this wipe that and I still brought it home and re did it myself. Probably the only okay thing they did was my tires. A so called \"shine\". Won't be back and won't recommend it to anyone


This place has the BEST breakfast sandwiches in town.  I come here all he time when i want a filling/healthy/delicious breakfast.  If you don;t want anything that heavy i am also a fan of their low carb breakfast...Their dinner pasta bowl is also really good-i'm not the biggest fan of their lunch though, not that it isn't good, it's just that i expected it to match how much i love their breakfast-but you might have a different taste.  The other reason this isn't a 5star rating is also because they can take a long time.  Most of the time it's fine because they are making it from scratch but sometimes it goes over average and when that happens you would think it would be better than the last time but they aren't the most consistent. \nPlease-go here for breakfast and try it, it's a great neighborhood coffee place.


Wife and I ate here because we were seeing Bjork at the Pearl/staying at the Palms Hotel.  Picked it out of the various hotel restaurant selections because it seemed like the least likely place to get overfed.\n\nThe decor/environment is amusing enough- lots of buddha statues and piped in music that will please fans of \"Enigma.\"  I'd actually give that aspect four stars.\n\nUnlike many of the reviewers below, I found the service to be attentive to the point of over-attentive, which is not typically a problem int the greater so cal area- props to that server.\n\nI find it fairly astonishing that some reviewers singled out the prices as being \"too high.\"  Whatever you want to say about Little Buddha, I just can't say that \"over priced\" is one of the valid criticisms.  Prices were in line with a typical big city sushi restaurants.  The menu, which combines your standard sushi fare with a collection of chinese food, some thai and some typical european mains (steak. fish) with asian preparation)  might be a little pricey on the chinese side ($20 for mongolian beef), but hell- it's VEGAS!  You want cheap? Go to the buffet.\n\nThe pacing of our meal was way subpar- we ordered an appetizer, salads, sushi and desert and were \"done\" in under an hour.  Personally, when I'm dining on vacation i want a little more time- this wasn't a business lunch.  The pacing gets \"one star.\"\n\nAs for the sushi itself- I'm not sure how ANYONE could call this the best sushi they've ever have, unless, of course, they're from someplace where they don't have good sushi anywhere.  I would call the sushi here \"average\".  The jalapeno/yellowtail sashimi dish we had was not spicy at all, in fact it might have well just been called regular old yellowtail sashimi for all the spice the preparation added to the experience.\n\nDidn't try the chinese food or the more european mains, but the diners on either side were chowing down and I didn't overhear any complaints.\n\nApparently this restaurant is big in Paris, but frankly, I find that impossible to credit.  I think the reviewer below who compared this place to \"PF Chang's with a better cocktail menu\" is in the ballpark, but the sushi is something you can't get at PF Changs.  You can, however, get sushi like this in any mid size to large city in the contiential united states.


Worst Pizza Ever! They just lost a customer and with service like that Vincent's is on its way to being just another one of those short-lived restaurants near the I-10 and Ray.  I called in for the $19.99 one-topping  pizza and wings special and decided to upgrade to the bbq chicken pizza for $7.  Terrible decision because their bbq sauce and chicken are awful, but the crust is so terrible it wouldn't really matter what was on top of it.  \n\nSo I called in to possibly get a different pizza sent out and I got to talk to Jack.  Maybe he is a cook trying to act like a manager but he certainly lacks any sort of customer service skills.  His offer to me was half off a new pizza.  Half off a pizza that I paid extra for, which I was ok with only to find out the bbq chicken pizza is only sauce, chicken and cheese.  That sounds like the one-topping pizza special that i ordered.


Best pho place in az.


very authentic but thats about it badly poured guinness and awful bangers and mash bartender was friendly but dont think ill be returning


Amazing one of a kind furniture!  I have purchased several items for my new home and love everything I chose.  Everything is hand painted and has a special touch.  Owners are very nice and have a delivery service available to assist you if you don't own a truck.  Check it out!!


I've been in to Goodman's twice, and neither was a great experience.  \n\nThe first was when my fiancee and I needed to get my engagement ring resized.  We came in with an 18k white gold ring from a well known international maker, and the first person to help us sniffed and said \"we don't work in SILVER.\"  As if we don't know what our ring is.\n\nThe second time I was in trying to pick out a watch.  Maybe if you're in the market for a Rolex this is the place for you.  But the person who helped me thought my budget was plus or minus $500, and they didn't have a great selection in my range.


When the cook rhythmically chopped an onion and said \"choo choo\" as he pushed it across the grill, I felt deeply embarrassed. \n\nWho is this guy and why is he being so cheesy? Is he insulting my intelligence? Does he know that there aren't any children at the table?!  \n\nEh, whatever. The food was pretty good.


Holy moly, why have I never heard of the pasty for the so many years I've been alive!?  Simply put, the pasty is the premium version of an empanada....and a super deluxe version of a hot pocket.  \n\nThe boy and I drove here Saturday night around 8:30. The place was packed, and we waited about 15 minutes for a place to sit.  We were, as many others have mentioned, confused about where to go to get seated. A guy beyond the counter told us to just find an empty table to sit. I tried his technique and was stopped by another guy who told us to wait, and he'll get us a table.  \n\nI asked our server to see what's the most popular pasty, and he said there is one single pasty that sells more than the other.  So I would just suggest go with what you're feeling for the day.  I ended up with The Royales with Cheese, and my boy got the Bangers and Mash.  The Royales is basically a cheeseburger stuck inside the delicious, warm, buttery crust.  It had a weird garlic taste to it, which I didn't care for. The thousand island that came with on the side didn't go well with my pasty.  I still garbled that thing up regardless though.  I tried a piece of the Bangers and Mash, and I'm not a fan of it. I don't normally like eating pork, so I wouldn't have ordered this.  The boy really enjoyed it though.  \n\nNow, unto the BEST part of the meal...this is none other than their Banoffe Pie.  I HAD to get this even though I was already stuffed.  I have never had anything like this. Thick, crispy graham with creamy, homemade caramel, topped with whipped cream and slices of banana.  I've got a sweet tooth, and that banoffe was definitely one of the best desserts I have ever had!  I would definitely come back to this place again and again the next time I'm back in Arizona.


Pros\n- Great ambience\n- Friendly staff\n- Great apps\n- Good tomato sauce\n- Fair pricing\n\nCons\n- Except for the duck sausage pizza, menu is uninspired\n- Pizza/cheese was a touch too oily/soggy in the middle


Went here once for your curiosity and once because I was dragged here. Fat burger is mediocre at best. Its overpriced and takes wayyyy too long to get your food. In N out kills this place and is almost have the price. I would rather go to burger king or carls jr and those places are shit.


I do like my Mad Mex, however predictable and non-authentic it may be.  The portion sizes are mammoth and I come away with a satisfied sense of regret.  Their beer menu is happily extensive.  Charging me $9 for chips and salsa is a bit of crime, wouldn't ya say though!?!  I mean, c'mon!  Our service has most times been lacking--a bit rushed and on the inattentive side.  Also, why do you require your wait staff to not servestraws/ lemons/etc unless asked by cusotmers---weirdness-cut out these odd cost-cutting, anti-service friendly measures please.


Food is awesome and atmosphere is great! \nHad the staple Mac and Cheese it was creamy and delicious! 1000 island burger is incredible! Will definitely be back again and again!


Our waiter was really nice, and the place was clean.\n\nSalad bar had a great selection without being overbearing.  And the choices were delicious.\n\nAs far as the food on the swords, I wasn't impressed.  Compared to other Brazilian spots I've been too, there just wasn't a great variety of selection.  The tri-tip was the best one.  The filet mignon was dry and the parmesan crust was AWFUL.  Filet should melt in your mouth.  I knawed until my jaw hurt, and that was only after I spent several minutes cutting through it.\n\nAll of the poultry was salty.  The turkey wrapped bacon did nothing for the taste of the meat but make it too salty.  \n\nThe seafood was decent, but I've definitely had better.\nMy favorite thing was the ham and pineapple, but only because the pineapple was so good.\n\nIt definitely wasn't worth the money we spent.  My one major gripe was the time between the meat presentations.  I felt like we were kept waiting so that our appetites would catch up to our digestion.  I guess that's one way to keep up profits.


On our way from Phoenix to Reno, we decided to stop in Vegas and treat ourselves to a nice hotel since we had a extremely long journey ahead of us. I usually prefer staying at The Trump, but Aria had cheaper rates and I figured we'd try something new. Also, didn't hurt that we were so close to Earl of Sandwich! The hotel is beautiful and our room was gorgeous, but the staff appears to have some communication issues and it just got really annoying!\n\nThe first 30 minutes we were in our room, we get a knock at the door from a maintenance worker. Apparently, someone had called in to fix the bathroom door? Umm... we didn't call and it wasn't broken. The guy checked the door and left. We were traveling with a toddler, so locking the mini fridge was super important because if you pick something up, you automatically get charged a $50 restocking fee. After several tries to lock the fridge, we call the front desk and tell them that the lock is not working. The front desk tries to lock it through the computer and it doesn't work, so they say they will send someone up to lock it manually. Maybe another 30 minutes go by and someone knocks at the door and says they are there to fix our bed... We tell the guy our bed isn't broken, but we we were told someone was coming up to fix the lock on the fridge. The guy gives us a tube of chocolates and tells us someone should be coming up. We wait in our room for 2 hours and no one shows. We called the front desk and they finally tell us that they won't be able to get someone to fix the lock until the next morning. That would have been nice to know 2 hours ago so we didn't have to wait around!\n\nThe next morning, no one shows. As we're leaving we finally get a call informing us that they have no technicians available to fix the lock. Ok, doesn't matter anymore, but we made sure that we didn't have a bill for the snickers my son tried stealing out of there. If they would have been honest from the beginning and told us no one could fix it, that would have been ok. It was just annoying having to waste our time in our room waiting for someone who wasn't going to show up. I don't appreciate being lied to and given the run around. Honesty is the best policy :)


This restaurant by far has the worst service I have ever experienced!! I will NEVER go back!! Not only do they have bad service, but their manager and owner failed to even see the problem that an hour and a half wait time to receive our food was. The manager and owner were very rude, disrespectful, condescending, and unprofessional. They proceeded to tell our party that they accommodated us in seating our party of 12 because we took up table space in their patio. Not only this, but after hearing our complaints of our service the manager said that we had great service that our food only took 45 mins to get to our table. Basically calling all 12 of us liars. I cannot give this place a bad enough review. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone especially if you are visiting Chandler. If you go despite this review with a group larger than 8, make sure that you all take cash. They have a restaurant policy that they will NOT divide up the check, and you can only pay with one credit card or with cash. Apparently this policy is written in fine print on their menu. Therefore, the server did not disclose this information to our party. When it came time to pay we all had credit cards. It took us over 2 hours to speak with management and the owner about these issues. Nothing was resolved. In the end the server separated our bill and the manager and owner acted as though they did us a favor. Again I CANNOT give this restaurant a low enough rating! \n\nEl Zocalo is El Suckalo!!!!


Great food but service was lacking.  I went with a group of friends months ago.  I asked for my food not spicy at all and a friend asked for it very spicy.  When it came out, they had got it mixed up.  Mine was extremely spicy and his was not spicy at all. No big deal, just send it back and have it remade.  It came out the second time, and same thing, the food was the same.  Mine was still extremely spicy and his had no spiciness at all.  We complained to the waitress again.  My friend and I decided to switch food so I had his and he had mine.  The bill came and they charged us for both.  \n\nWhile the food was amazing, the service was lacking.


Service is excellent. Food was so-so. Music is also good. Drinks were tasty. Sit upstairs where the band is.


Ever since I turned 30, when someone asks me: \"would you like to have a complimentary skin test?\" I hear Monty Python's Spanish Inquisition sketch: \"Give her THE RACK!\" \n\nThe thought of someone telling me the potential pitfalls and imperfections of my face after 30 years just seems like the silliest form of torture. If you have no idea what i'm referencing, pop yourselves over to youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt0Y39eMvpI) and waste five minutes in the best of ways.\n\nSo that's what I heard when the lovely lady at Elizabeth Arden asked me if I'd like to get my skin tested for radiance - a potential result that could only be compared to brilliant sketch comedy awkward.\n\nI don't know if it's a sales ploy, or if my mother's insistence that I wear sunscreen  daily actually did its job, but the result was much less painless then I imagined. In fact, i'm 95% radiant. That's right, i'm practically blinding you while you're reading this.\n\nWhatever it was, it made me feel pretty damn good about myself and after a quick chat, I happily bought my \u00a340 skin cream to maintain this 95% perfection. What struck me about this particular lady, is that no matter how ridiculous, I never felt swindled. Even when I asked what the best make up primer would be, she honestly pointed me in the direction of a different brand. I like that. She gets five stars.\n\nThe rest of the place however, is filled with surly looking staff that just seem to spend their time testing makeup on the back of their hands and looking bored. But the selection here is good and I can often cross eight birds off with one stone on a visit - so for that I give it a reasonable three stars. Eye rolling aside, it's a decent little pharmacy.\n\nBut if you're brave enough, wander over to Elizabeth Arden and chat with the lovely lady about how perfect your skin is. It's a hidden gem of an afternoon pick me up. Shine on ladies!


box office service sucks!


DELISH! My husband and I love going here for our date nights. We both love Mexican food and there premium margaritas (which come in a fishbowl size glass) are great! I always get the Enchiladas Verdes, yum the food is fresh, the salsa's are fresh great authentic flavors.


Walked out bad service no attention after 10 minutes at table then another ten with no drinks. Trust the reviews don't go


thanks a lot cousin....\n\ntried this place cause cousin said it was good..like REALLY good and they had a segement on a food show (forgot which one)\n\nplace is in a plaza and the restaurant is pretty cute, had all these lil notes on the wall\n\nOrdered tripe and steak pho and the soup is pretty good...NOT super bomb but it was definitely good for the moment since i havent had an asian meal for couple of days...the beef was a lil tough? tripe was good....the portion was a lil smaller than im used to, i had to eat some from the large bowl's order....\n\nThis is the part that got me and makes me never wanna come back....there was a SMALL ass cockroach in one of the orders....and it wasnt there on top waiting to get noticed! it was drowned IN the noodle for quite some time....and i was eating from that bowl...i almost gagged!  Hey, im from chinatown and i know im used to seeing that but still!\n\nso we told the hostess/owner/whoever she was, and she looked like WOW...and she didnt apologized! she just looked at it and was like no and took our chopsticks to the kitchen....comes back! and said she doesnt know how it got there and that they were cleaned....\n\nlady, its fine....shit happens ok...but damn....dont give me this whole speech about its not impossible and blah blah....its ok! but the fact is i asked her if she could just comp the order or something, she didnt seem like she wanted to budge and she offers us $5 off....\n\nno offense,....$5 off? lady...there was a cockroach in the bowl for quite some time and you think $5 will suffice?! i seen better deals from 5 stars restaurant...and i know this restaurant has a reputation to uphold since it was on tv...\n\nnever again...


Good subs and cheesesteaks. Slammed at lunch. Clean. Plentiful parking.


YAY! They have SPAM!!!!!\n\nI was going to go for Meat Plate #4 but when I saw the Grilled Spam with Eggs, I was in love. I don't care what you Spam-haters have to say. I'm Asian through and through and will stick to my Spam. Mmmm.. sooo salty and meat-like. \n\nIt was just what I expected, Spam, fried eggs and rice with some macaroni salad. It was good. Reminded me of the days when my parents didn't cook and we would fry up some Spam to eat with white rice and soy sauce. \n\nMy friends were kinda 'eh' about their dishes. It also took a long time for the food to come out for them too.\n\nOne cool thing about this place was that the Phoenix Fire Department eats here.... so hot! Too bad I was busy stuffing my face with Spam and eggs. That was probably not hot.


Hey folks, this is the Bellagio Cafe in Las Vegas not Denny's in Podunkville, so it's going to be on the expensive side, but you do get what you pay for and what you don't!  What you don't get . . . ketchup in dirty refilled bottles, sticky maple syrup bottles, paper napkins, and the list goes on and on!\n\nWhat you do get is great atmosphere, delicious food and courteous service. Even while standing line (and there often is a long line), you get to enjoy the stunning seasonal display and fragrant smells of the Bellagio Conservatory. Our favorite spot to sit is in the clover-shaped 4-plex booth to the left when you walk up the ramp, facing the conservatory . . . what a view and you get some of the best people watching in Vegas!\n\nThe food is consistently delicious.  Over the years (most recently in early March 2012), we have tried just about everything on the breakfast and lunch menus. For breakfast, I highly recommend the Bellagio Classic Omelet or the Maryland Crab Cake Benedict.  I always ask for my eggs on the soft side and they have never failed me. I also like my hash browns well, almost burnt, and they for the most part, that's what I get. For lunch, try the Cobb. My husband swears by it!\n\nCoffee is top notch, and they will leave a carafe on your table. They have real cream or milk, not the faux stuff that comes in mini plastic cups. I adore the fact that when you order an iced tea, the ice cubes are actually made with the tea itself as well. \n\nWe used to love to linger in the cafe when they had Keno, but they have removed the game it seems from all MGM Mirage properties across the board. So sad! We really missed it on this trip!


Drove 20 minutes last weekend to get my Fate growlette filled with their new Honey Double IPA.  The bartender said they only had one keg left and weren't filling any to-go orders.  In fact, they only had four Fate beers available and they were only filling jugs with the Sour IPA (which is nasty).  What's the difference if I sat at the bar and had two glasses of Honey Double IPA or filled my growlette with the same amount?  I wasted 40 minutes of driving.  There's a new brewery opening up the street soon.  I doubt I'll be going back to Fate anytime soon.


Holy hole in a doughnut, Batman! \n\nThis dude seriously wanted 13+$ for a 10x10x48 box that you can get 20 of online for under 40 bucks (that was just the first price I found online while I was standing there). Thats over 5x profit.  Asked for owner to request  a more reasonable price. Owner was a dingy-butt about it. \n\nWhen my customer asks for a more reasonable price, they are giving me a chance to serve them. This guy made me feel like if I wanna box I needed to bring gloves. \n\n13 dollars!? Good grief.


I should give negative stars!! Went in for an oil change and trip check Friday April 25, 2014. I had planned a surprise Disneyland trip for my family and needed everything in tip top shape. Well right before our last mountain pass to San Diego, my check engine light is flashing and you smell something burning. There was a heaven sent heavy machinery auto shop at the top of the mountain that helped us as much as they could. Surprise surprise! My oil plug wasn't put back in properly. My car leaked all the oil. The engine ran so rough it broke my motor mount...now there is oil in the spark plug well. A cylinder went out, and ive went though 8 quarts of oil in 4 days!!! We cant even register an oil reading. Now I'm stuck in Anaheim, CA and I have work tomorrow. Kids have school. Completely ruined this trip!! Shame on you guys!!! This is not the end of this....STAY AWAY!!!!!! These good reviews must be friends of the owner....super shady!!!!


The most inexpensive place to eat at the Wynn. \n\nAccording to Mr. Wynn the Pizza Place gives NY style pizza a run for its money. I beg to differ. \n\nI was really expecting the pizza to be excellent. It was only okay. You can order a pie or by the slice, start with a simple cheese pizza and add on ingredients and price. \n\nI had a \"cheese\" pizza with pepperoni, onions, and peppers. First of all I expected the peppers to be green but they were red. I also expected the ingredients finely chopped, they weren't.\n\nThe pizza itself was good but a little too greasy for me. With nothing but a fancy napkin to blot it with, I just didn't blot. The slices are big so that's a plus.\n\nAlso tried their basic vinaigrette salad which was okay, again not the best and the dressing wasn't mixed that well against the greens (come on people).\n\nMy favorite thing here was their iced tea that had a hint of passion tea but wasn't sweet. \n\nDue to the wind outside we were forced to sit inside and were not able to enjoy the sounds of the waterfalls outside.


Another round of MANGIA! with Chef Marc in the Steppin' Out series (Round 5), another great Italian food-inspired meal at Chef Marc's now expanded rustic Parma by Chef Marc ristorante.\n\nFIRST COURSE: As a first course, those partaking of Chef Marc's fine Chef's Table presentation were treated to a Deconstructed Caprese Salad with Buffalo Mozzarella and Tomato Pulp that had been freed of all acid, plated atop first-rate Balsamic Vinegar.  Green flecks that tasted like faint Pesto were also on the plate.  This concoction was very tasty, including the best Buffalo Mozzarella I have experienced to date.  Chef Marc imparted that this cheese was derived from water buffalo cow inhabiting the environs of Naples.\n\nSECOND COURSE: For a second course, we were presented with two very large platters of New York Style Hot Antipasto for every 3 diners, so that, try as we might, some of this delectable food was left behind.  We got to sample Eggplant rolled up like a burrito or Chinese Eggroll but not deep-fried; lovely Clams filled with Oregano, Parsley, and Bread Crumbs to become Clam Oreganata; naked Calamari; Mussels filled with Artichoke Hearts; and some Green Peppers and cut mushrooms spread throughout the hot platters like accent marks unifying all elements of this sumptuous and quite filling appetizer.  Would that Western Style Antipasto plates were this tasty and refined!\n\nAlso complementing this dish was excellent cheese-topped and crusty bread and butter.  But, alas, Chef Marc directed his servers to remove the bread soon after the repast began, lest we fill up too much on it.\n\nTHIRD COURSE: For the next course, we were treated to a very hot and nuanced Spinach & Walnut Risotto with flakes of Mascarpone Cheese circling 'round the rim of the bowl.  This rich offering was quite flavorful without any single component overpowering the others.\n\nFOURTH COURSE: As a main course, set down before us was a bowl of rich, delicious, and fork-tender Slow-braised Neapolitan Veal Cheek, along with German-style Red Cabbage made with Brown Sugar and Red Wine Vinegar, and subtly flavored Polenta.  The star of this assemblage was the Veal Cheek, which tasted much like well-prepared Osso Buco.  And, Chef Marc confirmed that this entree did actually come from the cheeks of young calves.  \n\nFIFTH COURSE:  As a fifth and final course, we were treated to a dessert plate with slices of Green Apple, honey in a small pouring bowl, Blueberries, and somewhat springy planks of solid Parmesan Cheese that Chef Marc referred to as \"diving boards.\"  These elements were to be assembled and joined together according to our personal whims.  I found that dabs of honey acted like glue when Blueberries were pressed into them on top of a plank of cheese, and the conglomeration was further sweetened by adding a honey-soaked slice of apple into the mouth when chewing.  This sweet and cheesy dish was my least favorite course, but I appreciated the simplicity and inventiveness of the dish.  Everything else I thought was both creative and a foodie's delight. \n\nThroughout the meal, Chef Marc or one of his assistants provided a running commentary of each course just before it was served, and patiently answered all diners' questions.  This added to the enjoyment of the experience, although in previous MANGIA! rounds Chef Marc did all the narration himself, which I liked better.\n\nMost of our group of about 17 diners experienced the Chef's Table (some with wine pairings), but a few, like Diane, ordered ala carte.  And, she was quite pleased with the two quite large and lean scallops of Veal Parmesan Alfredo and Penne Alfredo with which she was presented.  Half of the order served as a fine lunch the next day.\n\nNelson and Sylvia Q. presented all diners with a vial of sand from different beaches in Hawaii, and did another great job in organizing this event.  Props to them for hosting, and to Chef Marc and his staff for preparing and serving, yet another outstanding MANGIA! dining extravaganza!


Toyama Express is really good. I came here for lunch a couple of days ago with a client. It is essentially a walk-up counter and then they bring your good to your table. There is a huge lunch rush about noon so be prepared. The food still came out fast.\n\nI got the steak and scallops. The meat was very tender and cooked perfectly. The orange sauce on the side was excellent for dipping the meat and seafood. I also mixed it in with my rice. The service was excellent. Patio seating was pleasant. Excellent value for the price. I will be back again!


3 stars for the show,  1 star for their check in procedure and unecessary 1 hour wait. \n\nThe show was acceptable in some parts and boring in others.  From what I've read,  the acts change all the time.  I guess the show producers just round up whoever they can find.  Show is probably fine for young children,  but not adults. \n\nThe worst part of the show was the money grab during the up selling of supposedly upgraded seats,  drink and dinner specials.  Because the show is general seating,  getting decent seats requires about a hour long wait. I guess these guys have never heard of assigned seating. For those who show up later,  they might end up on the far right behind the 2 foot wide concrete supports that will block their view.


This place has gone down hill. What used to be in the normal exhibits are now in a paid exhibit hall. It's sad that they have resorted to that to make money. I won't be renewing my membership.


Food was almost average couldve been better had hot  wings and fries blah!..Service incredibly slow on a friday afternoon,had to take my tab and go find the waittress to cash out.Guess cant wrong with the drinks and bottled beer here(only miller and coors on tap).Sports on tvs all over gives it 2 stars.......


Great food and our waitress Tammi was wonderful


We got there just before the Sunday brunch rush (at around 11:00) and only waited a few minutes; definitely get there on the early side or else it is a long and painful wait.  The seafood selection was pretty poor - mostly crab salads and stuff like that but the shrimp cocktail was good.  The carving station was also not up to snuff - prime rib (yummy) and bacon.  Bacon is delicious but there's really only so much thick-cut, smoked bacon you can eat...  I would've preferred a different meat...perhaps ham...or poultry?  There were a lot of cuisines (Italian, Asian, Mexican etc.) but selection was very limited within the cuisines.  The dessert bar looked very promising...but I was a bit disappointed.


This is the best Mediterranean restaurant I've been to. The koobideh was fantastic.


Spent 16+ on my food; got half and a flat soda. Terrible.


this is a fun place to go for a cosume if you are an entertainer or just for fun! They have some new and almost new quality clothing and you can get 30% off if you bring a donation the staff was cool sometime you can find some cool stuff antiques other random stuff.


Just nothing good to say. Grilled salmon and grilled veggies swimming in oil and the salmon was burnt. Server never ask if ever how it was. I guess I shouldn't leave out that the rice tasted like it had been sitting around in a warmer for days.


Definitely an interesting store with very diverse merchandise ranging from home decor such as furniture and rugs to wine to random kitchen gadgets. I like the fact that a lot of this is made from around the world, so you can definitely find something unique. I will say I prefer shops where I know it is a fair trade store (I tried looking online to see if they were and I couldn't find that info so if I'm wrong, I'm sorry!). It was definitely a place I would go back to get a funky gift or to look for something different for house decor. But other than that, it was just ok.


Amazing decor! And with BJ and good music playing, why is this club so lame? I literally walked in and out. The Palms hotel needs to think about the fact that they have 4 very well-equipped nightclubs capable of each  being the LIFE of the town but it's missing that umph, that pizzazz, that je na sai qua (terrible spelling).  Their clubs seriously have the best and most original concepts thus far; the Palms has the ability to bring them back to life. \n\nWith their all-access pass, they must understand that people move in and out of their clubs in order to see all of them BUT each club individually needs to be able to compel a customer to stay, to lure them in, to pleasurably entrap them. And clearly, even naked women is NOT the answer. I wanted to dance the night I came and very few people were dancing in this small club (which I happened to believe was going to be big before I actually saw it). \n\nSo, this club has the goods but the goods needs some magical sprinkle dust. The club has barily clad women, original concepts, gaming options, good music, cool beverages, amazing decor (though a small venue), they have all of that down. What are they missing? What do Vegas addicts crave? What do nightclub fiends desire? What does even the average hotel patron want? NEW! They want New. I would not suggest starting all over because the mold is there. But you have to re-NEW the place and thus re-market as well. You have to bring both new and old faces in. Try different ideas out first and see how customers respond. Get bunnies...and maybe even chippendales that dance...possibly even dance with the patrons (in appropriate ways of course).  Get even better music. Good food, perhaps? Ask employees to come to the club at night and dance and mingle energetically. Anything different. Bring the ENERGY back!


I came here 3 times when it was Thai Elephant. I've been here twice now that they are Five R Cha Thai.  Thai Elephant was a 4 star Yelp business.  Five R is only a 3 star.  The staff are still wonderful but the food is now lacking something.\n\nThe first time I came to Five R Cha I got the Drunken Noodles with mixed seafood 5 star spicy.  Dining in for lunch it is served with a small cup of a Thai soup & a small spring roll. ($11)  There was not enough seafood or vegetables in the dish & the noodles did not seem the same as before.  When I went there yesterday I got the Drunken Noodle with beef 3 star spicy to go. ($9 ) I called in my order & they said it would be ready in 5-10 minutes.  I walked from the Renaissance hotel across the street & my order was ready waiting for me.  The taste was much better with beef although the beef itself was a little tough.  No soup with to go orders but you still get the small spring roll.  The amount of vegetables was great!  I counted 8 different types.  Bean Sprouts, Broccoli, Cabbage, Carrots, Green Beans, Green Pepper, Onion & Zucchini.\n\nThere are 2 other Thai restaurants within a blocks distance so I may have to try the 2 of them to compare to see if I want to go back here again.


Let's just say it's cheap for good reason.\n\nWalked in and the lobby floor was dirty, carpet in lobby hallway and other hallways had water spots and stains.  I was concerned when I checked in, but glad to see the room was in a little better shape.  \n\nThe room was decent size and had a nice size desk with free wifi.  The bathroom walls were redone, but the shower tile definitely needs to be replaced.  it was separating and the grout was gross and black in places.  \n\nI'm not real familiar with the area and needed to be in this area for work.  After driving around and seeing a group of teens mingling, drinking, and smoking out by the pool, I was kinda concerned.  As a young female staying alone, I didn't exactly feel safe in the dark parking lot.\n\nTo top it off there was a high pitched beeping that persisted for at least three hours.  I called housekeeping and they sent someone out, but they were useless.\n\nI'm supposed to be here two more nights, but will probably go some where else.


Great authentic Irish Pub not a chain just a real Irish Pub, Great food, music and people.  This is a sure thing to bring out of town guests, family and to celebrate your life. Great memories here for sure.


I've lived in 7 different apartments in Madison with 6 different landlords and everyone pales in comparison to McBride. Need a repair? They've fixed it by the time you get home from work. Easy to communicate with and they keep the pressure off their customers.


BUYER BEWARE!! \n\nMy Wife also purchased a Living Social deal with the hopes of having a nice clean house. We should of known something was up when we tried for a couple of weeks to get a hold of someone at the company to make an appointment or at least return our calls. \n\nRight about the time we were going to stop trying and get a refund from Living Social, my Wife was able to get a hold of someone. She spoke with a female at the company and set up an appointment for a cleaning on the 15th, between 11-12. \nAfter the appointment was set up my Wife received an email from Living Social confirming her use of the voucher. My Wife reply saying she has only made the appointment and the services have not been used. \n\nSo, Friday the 15th rolls around and we should of seen this coming, no one shows up. At 12:00 I call the number on the voucher and website, no answer, so I leave a message. Then we notice on their Facebook account they give a number to text for urgent matters. I try texting that number, no response. So at about 2:00pm, I give up hope that anyone will be coming or that I will receive any sort of response or reply. \n\nThis is a sad excuse for a company!!!  I can understand that sometimes things happen that are out of your control, but it seems like this company is doing its best to screw anyone and everyone. \n\nYOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!\n\n***Update as of 08/22/14**********************************************\n\nAfter emailing all the email address this company has we finally heard back from the company.

Disgusting. I'd give it less than one star if our waitress wasn't incredible. I bought a two for one deal where I was promised an \"all you can eat steak and prime rib, coupled with all you can drink beer and wine\". Perfect date night dinner at the Palms, right? Sooooo wrong. I don't visit the strip often because I live here, so I was not familiar with this buffet before we actually got there.\n\nAt first glance, you might mistake this place for a hospital cafeteria. After your first bite, you'd wish you were in one. Shrimp cocktail minus the cocktail sauce, pasta noodles sat out for so long they were actually stuck together in one clump, and I do believe the only part of the New York steak they served was the fat they trimmed off the steaks served in one of the fancier restaraunts at the Palms. Food had been dropped into other food dishes and strewn about the buffet counter and no one bothered to clean it up.\n\nEvery food item we tried (steak, fried chicken, ribs, pasta, etc) was wasted because it was inedible. The desserts were ok, with the creme brule bordering on good. \n\nI'm not a food snob...I like reasonable quality that's reasonably affordable. Trust me when I tell you this place isn't worth it, even if it was comp'd. Gross. I expected much more from the Palms.


this review will be short and sweet (rather like the cocktail i had) as i was only in the huxley briefly for a pre-dinner drink.  my first reaction on walking in the door was a bit of astonishment as the place is completely different from the rutland bar that previously inhabited the location.  and completely different in a very excellent way!  gone are all the tall dark chairs and dark colours that made the bar well very dark.  instead there are softer colours with smaller normal sized chairs and a brightly white tiled war with the taps behind the bar.  there are also so cosy arm chairs but again remaining a normal size not the monster size ones that the rutland had.\n\nthe drinks menu is rather short, but i don't think this place is aiming to be an extensive cocktail bar as they have a fairly large selections of beers.  so much more a place to have a beer, which suits the menu of burgers and hot dogs.  however, the cocktail list does have a good choice and i went for the breakfast mojito while the boyfriend went for the full moon.\n\nour drinks took a wee bit of time to arrive, but i watched the bartender making them fresh so it's nice to know that they take care when mixing up drinks and the taste shows their effort is worth it.  my mojito was a lovely twist on the original.  made with grapefruit juice limes and mint it was very fresh tasting.  i could actually see how this might compliment a breakfast haha!  my boyfriend's drink was quite nice as well the blue moon beer added a nice creamy touch while the bourbon gave it a good kick.\n\nso first impressions are good and we've both decided we need to go back and try some of the food.  so look out for an update once i've sampled more of the menu :)


Located in Planet Hollywood..a bit of a mission to find if you parked in their parking garage. \nA huge line of people waiting to get their sammich on. \n\nTheir limited time only special caught my eye and looked..BOMB!\n\nIt was Chipotle chicken with bacon and avocado. DROOOL. \n\nThey have two cashiers. One to take your order, and to hand you a buzzer, and as you keep going through the line, they have drinks, chips, parfaits, fruits, and desserts to your left to get if you want it. Then they have the main cashier for you to pay. \n\nA good amount of space, seats are kind of close together, but I mean, hey whatever haha. \n\nI got me the sandwich and salt & vinegar chips. Total was about $7 and some change. Pretty good! \n\nSat my ass down, and within 3 minutes, my buzzer was a buzzin' and I went to pick up my sammy. \n\nIt doesn't look big..but it fills you up well! It was soooo delicious. Toasty warm, and so flavorful. \n\nI hear they're making one in DT Disney!? :O :O :O


Had the place all to myself. The guy working there wasn't friendly, but still he did his job and the sandwich was good and satisfying. No complaints at about the food.\n\nGoing west on Dunlap, however doesn't make this place very accessible, and the strange orientation of the sad little strip mall didn't help. Trying to continue west after my little pit stop wasn't easy either. Oh well, I was hungry and ultimately I got what I wanted :D


I have been a long time fan of Chipotle and always have a great experience when I visit. Its a go to place when I'm watching carbs and when I'm not, I LOVE their chips! I could eat a whole bag by myself and that's probably what's caused me to diet in the first place :) You can lesson the calorie blow by ordering the kids sized bag of chips. It seems to come with 15-20 chips which is a more waistline friendly portion if you have to have them. \n\nIf you want something that satisfying and doesn't kill your diet, try a bowl with no rice or beans but get a scoop of chicken AND Steak. The extra meat really adds to the heartiness of the bowl and it feels like a treat. I also get mild salsa (pico), sour cream, cheese and the guacamole depending on how I'm feeling that day. If its a diet splurge day, I'm adding the sweet corn and tacking on a bag of chips!


Yet another great Charlotte restaurant I'm not sure why I've yet to review. As a sushi aficionado the Cowfish is an obvious choice. They've taken it upon themselves to lead the fusion charge in a seriously unexpected direction by mixing the delicious creatures of the land and sea in one meal for us to delight in. Well, at the time of this review I suppose it's safe to say most fusion sushi joints have pretty much joined the \"let's add beef to our sushi\" bandwagon. But as far as I'm concerned, not only was The Cowfish first, but it still stands in my mind as the best.\n\nFirst off, there's getting in here. You've essentially gotta reserve a table. Don't walk up thinking \"I've heard of this pace and have to check it out, I'll go in!\" You will be hard pressed to find a table or even a spot at the bar on most nights. They book up quick and keep a waiting line out the door in most cases. It's all for good reason. There is an experience point to the place as well you know. Interior layout and decor is great. Comical actually, especially if you read a little Japanese and are familiar with the culture. The posters specifically are entertaining. Also, don't forget to take a trip to the restroom while you're here. You can relieve yourself to the sounds of random phrases spoken in English then in Chinese. It's...seriously random. They aren't even useful phrases. You'd pee yourself laughing if you weren't already peeing.\n\nService has been stellar in my experience so far. I've accompanied plenty of out-of-towners here and anytime somebody in the party hasn't been here before the waitstaff gives you a rundown of the menu, lots of recommendations and generally what to expect when you read the word \"burgushi\". This is great considering the menu is margin-to-margin on most pages and never-ending with options. I'm a sushi guy so naturally I gravitate towards the burgushi options. Surf 'n Turf is my personal go to favorite. It's like comfort food at the end of a long week. Angus beef tops a roll filled with salmon, tuna and cream cheese flash fried to the perfect texture. Or try the Lamb-urgushi. The name alone is funny enough to make you do it.\n\nThey've got a full bar that basically wraps around 3/4 of the restaurant. No small part of that is a sushi bar and half of the bar-top is laden with built in touchable gaming screens with lots to choose from. Outdoor seating abound for the warmer days and enclosed outdoor seating for the cold and wet days. If you're passing through, check it out, but if you live here you owe it to yourself as a Charlottean to come here at least once.


This pizza is like all of the other chains dominos, papa johns. If your looking for good or desent food go somewere else


I so sorry to hear that the participants encountered so many problems while trying to run this race.\n\nI was in the audience as an accidental spectator last year. Initially, I was quite angry that the strip was shut down. I didn't know there was a marathon and it was nearly impossible trying to physically get anywhere need the strip that day. We ended up parking at the Bellagio since they have a side entrance on Flamingo.\n\nWell, once we heard the music and saw the runners going by our anger turned into excitement. Every time the fountains went off at the Bellagio the runners cheered and became re-energized. It was truly a magical site to see.


This place is the biggest piece of shit bar. It entirely misrepresents Arcadia and the status of its residents- nobody that works or goes to Arcadia Tavern even lives in Arcadia. It is degrading the entire area.\n\n Their food is awful, their bartenders are disgusting and rude, and I don't think they have ever heard of hiring trained bar managers. I am shocked it is still in business. \n\nIf you're smart, you won't waste your time here.


Nice facility. Dealing with the behind the scenes of exhibiting can be challenging, but what do you expect?


We were planning to eat elsewhere before but since they were full, we decided to eat at MBGFR. We were seated right away and our server was very nice and attentive. We started off with the hummus (I think jalapeno) and then each got our own chicken souvlaki pita. Everything was A-OK and I'll probably return.


We came on a Friday night and ordered 2 AYCE for $14 (Used the $10 LivingSocial valued at $20) Each dinner is 13.99. Total 30.25\n\n- Across from Hard Rock Hotel. \n- Our server, Angela, said that bc we didn't print our LivingSocial, They can't accept it. WTF. After realizing that it was far-fetched, I told her you can just take a picture of the coupon. She agreed. Management fail. \n- Aside from the initial confusion, This MBBQ offers great options! They serve more than the basics. Tofu is a huge plus for me, along with baby carrots. But pizza toppings? HAHA. Whatever floats your boat. \n- Chef can provide you with optional white rice with your meal. I saw one of their employees stir-fry their rice! Looked great, but not a option for customers. HAHA. Worth a shot to ask ;). \n- Food quality was still fresh! Great to know esp if you eat during dinner.\n- Like most MBBQ restaurants, they did not give us fried wantons and soup.\n- Nice interior design.


We stopped in for a bite to eat before a game.  They immediately sat us, which was nice because there were 6 of us and got us drinks in an almost timely fashion.  I only had a side salad because I had just had breakfast, but my fiancee had a sandwich and fries.  His take was that it was just OK.  Even though I ordered a side salad for my lunch they brought it out as if it were an appetizer.  15 minutes later everyone else was served.  \n\nDespite this oversight, everyone seemed to enjoy their meals and they had us in and out in a reasonable amount of time, so they are OK in my book.


I love my doctor but, I hate waiting every time I come here n today I'm getting my blood test done which I can't make an appointment for n couldn't eat anything before I came in they r making me wait because it's her lunch time...really!!!


Crab BLT was a big disappointment.  Why did they chop the bacon into little pieces which kept falling off the sandwich?  Crab cakes had little flavor.  Mac &cheese was ordinary.  Overpriced considering the lack of quality.


Take this review as you wish...being that, at 24 years old, my first trip to Vegas was in August of this year, and this is the only Vegas hotel I've stayed in.\n\nBestie and I packed up the car Friday night and took off! We arrived @ \"TI\" around 11 and the check in line was brief, despite the anticipated nightmare long lines mentioned here and on other travel websites. By booking online, for 3 nights we stayed in an upgraded strip view room for around $250. Our room was so cute! The beds were ridiculously comfortable, and everything was super clean. A few cosmetic touch ups may be necessary, but I guess I'm not so nit-picky. The TV was nice, we liked being able to plug in our ipods, and the wireless internet did what we needed to. Room - 4 Stars.\n\nOn our 2nd night there, after a day of binge drinking and a nap we decided to take it easy and hang in our own casino, did some gambling and around 2am went to the Coffee House and were SO DISAPPOINTED! The menu was so ridiculously limited that we almost just walked out. There are probably less than 10 items on the menu, including any dessert items...So limited that not even FRENCH FRIES are on the menu, yet $16 burgers exists. The food was pretty bland...however the French Onion soup was amazing, thank god. On another negative note, our server was SUCH AN ASSHOLE! Then when the manager came to check on us, the server was there and did something very nice, we both said @ the same time \"Oh NOW he's nice??\" and the manager pretended not to hear us. Any drink refill, condiment request, check request, change request, was attended to with a delay and dirty looks. Prices are the same in the Coffee House as the ROOM SERVICE, so skip the moody server and eat in your comfy bed. Coffee Shop - 1 Star\n\nOn our 2nd day there we lounged by the pool all day, and the DJ was awesome. At first we attempted ordering drinks from the outdoor servers but they were so slow we started trekking in and out of Kahunaville for our drinks. While the drinks were good, they were severely over priced, even when you're armed with their \"coupons\" which barely made a dent in a round of drinks for 4, and half the time to coupons were good for what we wanted. A round of 2 mixed drinks and 2 beers will run you $40. Pool/Kahunaville - 2 Stars\n\nOverall our stay was decent but the NOW $30 a day resort fee, rules, regulations, and restrictions were kind of a bummer. Don't offer \"coupons\" or \"offers\" if you have no intention of allowing your customers to use them on anything of worth. Oh, and the buffett is overpriced and just like any standard buffet food. \n\nJust a tip: When drinking poolside for 8 hours straight, don't abandoned your best friend/roommate, and then you REALLY don't want to latch the top lock and proceed to fall into a drunken coma till 1 am. She wont be pleased. Rookie move.


Lured here by the promise of this ever so popular and famous Coco Loco...a female customer (not me) almost squealed with delight when she discovered she could take this heavenly dessert to go instead of stuffing herself silly in public with it.  (I mean, it's big enough for two...so imagine what a piggy you look like enjoying this all to yourself)!\n\nA small little place to kick back with a couple of friends (not a lot, they don't have enough room if you bring all your friends and cousins with you)!  While waiting for your order, you can examine and sniff the different kinds of teas they have available and play the guessing game of \"What kind of tea do you think this is?\"  You can also challenge your friend into taking a bite from their enormous cake just to see if they would do it.\n\nI'm not a big fan of boba...so you'll never find me drinking those damn tapioca balls that are meant to choke the hell out of your while stuffing yourself with cornstarch balls.  So, I'll go for one of their milkshakes instead.  In this case, I had their Mango Magic milkshake.  It was definitely one creamy of a thing.  Not bad, but I think I overdid it.  After all, I just finished eating (er, sharing) one of those damn Coco Loco things first.\n\nThe Coco Loco - it's a hollowed out coconut with coconut meat still attached to the head that you can carve out yourself to eat.  And then in the 'bowl', you'll find vanilla ice cream (the advertisement says coconut vanilla ice cream which is a complete lie since I asked the guy who made ours and he said it's just plain vanilla ice cream.  They don't have any coconut ice cream there.), shredded coconut meat, jelly things, pineapple chunks, and some other liquidy concoction that makes you slurping out all the little last bits from this shell.  (And go ahead, don't be shy about lifting that coconut up to your face to drink every last bit from it...look around, you'll probably find my friend doing it too!  Shute, if his tongue was long enough, he would be licking the sides of this thing!)  And yeah, at $6 each...it's a filler...that's why you're supposed to 'share' one of these bad boys!  (Check out my picture of it in the business profile!)\n\nSide note: They have a frequent buyer card! Purchase nine things and you get a FREE Speciality Beverage!  You know how I love those frequent eater/buyer cards!  We love places that recognize loyal fans!\n\nUpdated: 11/28/06 - The last time I went, I crawled out of bed and headed to Zeebo's just for their Coco Loco and imagine my disappointment when they said they were all out!  Lesson of the day - call ahead to make sure they still have some if you're heading out this way just for some sugar!\n\nUpdate: 03/01/07 - I haven't had any Coco Loco since this review.  Why?  Because I called and called, and they were always out!  Last night we called again and they had coconuts in stock!  The BF ordered one for himself and one for me and it was yummy!  Damn, I missed it!  I would give the Coco Loco a 4.5 star all on its own!  It's so good!  (The ice cream - it sure tastes better than any vanilla ice cream I ever had, but then again, it might be all that white liquidly syrupy stuff they have in there that makes it taste all that much better!)\n\nUpdate: 08/06/07 - I finally tried something else here...one of their 'healthy fruit blends'.  I had the strawberry one.  It's sugary sweet and has me wondering exactly how healthy it can really be?  The cool thing is that you can have 'jellies' instead of boba if you're not a big fan of the tapioca ball rage.


I loved the tossed salad. The reason I ate here was because they had sushi...big mistake, it wasn't good at all...but I found other things that I loved. $19.99 lunch buffet and it includes your soda.


I guess I'm truly in the minority on this place.  So many of my Yelp friends gave it rave reviews that I was really excited to try this place when my friend was in town in March.\n\n(It was also one of the only places that you could get boba at 10pm.)\n\nSo we go inside and there's a strange mix of smells.  At first you're like, \"Oh, this is different\" and I try to associate different with good, but the smells change and you're like, \"Hmm, not sure if good\" with a confused look on your face.  I think the servers are trained to ignore that look, because I caught a couple of people who walked through the door doing the same thing.\n\nIt was pretty busy when we went but I could see at least a handful of tables clean.  We still waited about 10 minutes to be seated.  We almost walked out but boba was the main goal so we stuck it out and sat down.\n\nWaiter was OK.  Definitely not exceptional.  He wasn't thrilled when we first ordered waters and boba.  The boba was slow to come out and wasn't really boba... definitely wasn't 5-star worthy in any way shape or form.\n\nI decided to suck it up and order an appetizer - their oxtail chili cheese fries.  Sure, why not.  They were decent, but certainly nothing to go crazy over.  And the sunny-side up egg on it was just...no.  Didn't really fit anything.  That's kind of how I felt about the whole menu, though - trying to be hipster and cool with all their \"weird pairings\" that didn't make sense unless you were also hipster and cool.  I dunno.  I'll eat damn near anything, but 95% of the menu sounded weird, ridiculous, or both.\n\nAnd because of that, they feel like they can charge exorbitant prices.  $12 for chili cheese fries?  Ox is NOT that expensive of a meat, so sorry, I don't buy that.\n\nWe paid our tab for half-eaten fries and sub-par boba.  Won't be going back.


Dined here last night with a friend and received stellar, one-of--a-kind service from another good friend and master sommelier, Darren Lutz, who makes any dining experience unparalleled! Knowing Mr. Lutz' expertise in all things culinary and oenological, I left it up to him to make the food and wine choices for us. Starting with a gorgeous Nebbiolo coupled with a nice olive and onion tapenade and crostini, then on to a beautiful Caesar salad prepared tableside; then, finishing with a very nice Amarone along with the Pappardelle - made of a hearty veal stew, battuto, tomatoes, Porcini mushrooms, white wine, handmade pasta, and Asiago cheese - this was an outstanding gastronomic event. Add to all that sophisticated, cosmopolitan ambiance, attentive, friendly staff (all), and very reasonable prices, Andiamo is a sensuous feast that shouldn't be missed if you want to do Vegas in style!


My cheese enchiladas had non-melted cheese in them. That's a basic prerequisite for enchiladas - melted cheese. Not impressed at all. This place is sophomoric at best. There are far more tastier places in the valley to spend your money on. If I could leave a half star I would. I will never eat here again.


I am IN LOVE with these tacos. I've tried every kind they make, even the lengua, and the food is seriously outstanding. A must-try if you're down on Fremont near Container Park.


What did you say?! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!\n \"I SAID RABBITS EAT LETTUCE!\" (South Park, Season 1)\n\nThis is the loudest goddamn bar on earth.\nI know some dance clubs that aren't this loud.\nEverything about this place is obnoxious. Douche-faced bartenders pour weak drinks at outrageous prices... and like I said, most of the time the music is so loud that you can't hear the person next to you.\n\nSaving graces: Bottomless Mimosas, Saturday and Sunday. Although the food is outrageously expensive, it is good.\n\nLoud.


saw the show tonight and it was ok ..dont expect anything spectacular but it is worth the 10.00 you pay at gold star for it.  all the seats are pretty good but kind of a run down theatre but manageable. Jokes arent all that funny but hey they are trying and the show is a pretty low budget show.. But for the money it will most likely entertain you.


I do love this place. They do my favorite food here, mei fun, and they do it REALLY well. The soup is delicious too! And it comes out pretty fast, which is always a plus.


Average burger, average taste, above average prices. Anyone who thinks this is good food has no credibility when it comes to food. If you want cheap cheese, bland meat, and a lot of grease and want to pay too much this is the place. I go to Columbus OH for work, Graffiti burger is the place over there. They have a big sign over the Five Guys in Columbus. I passed by the Five Guys, almost empty, go to Graffiti, PACKED. There is a reason for that, they serve the best burgers around. I so wish AZ had a place like that. Until that happens, I am in search for the best burger in AZ.


Honest, good group of people.  They don't try to sell you tires every time you come in.  They have fixed my tires twice, rotated twice and have not charged me.  Chad was very helpful and pleasant.  This is the best Discount Tire in the area.  4.5 only because they didn't tighten my hub cover the last time I was there and almost lost it.


The have some of the best ribs and rib tips in Charlotte. Tea and lemonade made fresh.


4 star for the food, 2 star for the atmosphere.\n\nSo I had to come back here to spend the $25 gift card I got from the end of last year, and still enjoyed everything like the other times. \n\nIt wasn't that busy when we arrived at 6:35pm on a Friday, and we were seated in less than 5 minutes. I felt I had to order the Chocolate Martini just for my own curiosity since i haven't tried it, so I did, it was pretty good! Definitely got the sweet chocolate taste and looked pretty neat with the little chocolate pieces on top of the ice.\n\n I ordered my usual, Filet cooked in medium  rare with twice baked potato, tender and juicy as always. The twice baked potato, on the other hand, was really salty this time, it usually tends to be salty, but this time was a bit over. \n\nThis time we were seated by the hallway next to the bar, VERY LOUD!!! I was kinda annoyed by the noises so if you wanna enjoy your dinner in a little quieter atmosphere, get away from the bar area!!


Fun experience! No privacy...: When we were seated I was disappointed that we were elbow to elbow with other couples on either side- no chance of a romantic dinner (or a private conversation for that matter). At one point the couple next to us leaned over to discuss one of our selections! The place is small and somewhat crowded. Although I frequent Japanese and Sushi restaurants this menu contained many things I had never had before. Most of the items are appetizer sized and quite pricey, considering the size (~$14-25). We chose items off the hot, cold and sushi sections. \nThe yellowtail tartar was great, the lobster ceviche was not so. The tempura rock shrimp were excellent, just a bunch of fried shrimp on a plate (popcorn-shrimp size). We tried the house special (a rainbow roll) and Eel sushi. Both were good, but not my favorite rolls I'd ever had-actually kind of plain. For dessert the bento box, essentially a souffl


What a great company!\n\nThe office staff was friendly and helpful. I believe the girls name was Nicole that I spoke to. She was polite and got me on the schedule right away. Even when I had to reschedule at the last minute, Thom (the owner) was accomodating to my needs. I don't remember the technician's name that came to my home, but he explained everything to me as he was performing the work. He answered all my questions. I was also pleased with the pricing...they didn't have a trip charge like the other electricians I checked out. TAP and Sons is an all-around fantastic company that I will be using exclusively from here on out for all my electrical needs!!


Will keep this short and sweet.   \"Don't Go\".


I love this trail, it's especially good for early morning hikes with my dogs. It's not too steep and doesn't require an immense amount of rock climbing at any point... So my little chihuahua and dachshund are able to do it without any problems.\nMy favorite part about this hike, is going off trail, you get great views of the entire phoenix area and you can do some serious rock climbing if you want. \nLike everyone else has said, keep an eye on which way you came from.....you can get lost and it's a pain in the butt trying to find your way back. \nI like this trail cause I rarely see it getting very busy (unlike camelback) and it seems like a peaceful/mild hike. \nDefinitely one I'll be coming back to.


this place is creepy.  there was a cop standing around patrolling all the pizza eaters last Saturday.  what kind of restaurant has police officers parading around to intimidate its patrons?  Hire private security like every other establishment.  Seriously a cop at 2 in the morning at a pizza place on a Saturday.  No thanks.


The good things about City Cafe: their breakfasts, their pool table, their beer pitchers (which save you a few quid), their nice atmosphere which has the American diner feel down. Their big burger challenge, though it is painful to watch let alone attempt. Their chips which come in their own little wire fry baskets.\n\nThe bad things: their cocktail pitchers are very, very weak. You could drink from them all evening and only get mildly buzzed (this was my experience with their elderflower one, their long island iced tea, and their Pimms). Their food is odd. Their nachos would be OK, except that their guacamole tastes exactly like mayonnaise. I once had their veggie burger as well, and something in the way the cheese on top of the patty stuck to the upper bun made said bun go extremely soggy and frothy in an extremely unappetising way. It was liquid bun by the time I neared the end. This burger inspired me to make a yelp account.\n\nThat being said, I go there a lot and will probably continue to do so. But I will stick to pints and chips.


I have a lot of idiot moments. Like when I ordered the \"tart with the pear on it\" and the woman behind the counter said \"Oh, the pear tart?\" Yeah, that. \n\nWell, luckily the pear tart was amazing. I'd been craving some kind of pear tart for months. Not really sure why. I had a frozen coffee drink which was also fabulous and for a cappuccino, it wasn't too bitter and just the right amount of sweet.\n\nWe got a little turned around trying to find it (don't spend much time at palazzo) and when asking for it, most of the staff just refer to it as \"the Italian coffee place\". Probably safe to just ask for that. \n\nThe atmosphere was nice and a little less Vegas-y than the usual coffee shops. Felt almost like I could be in a train station somewhere other than the middle of the desert.


I so regret purchasing the 24 hour buffet @ $308 for 2 adults and 1 child to include Bacchanal. All the other buffets do not compare. Smaller selection but excellent food and presentation. It is one of the best in Vegas. Next time, it's this place or the M buffet.


I wasn't going to write a review about this place till I visited it again. Take this 3-star with a grain of salt, as I ordered the wrong ramen for my palate and wasn't crazy about the place. But with so many ramen places popping up around the valley, it may be some time before I come here again. So before I forget, here it goes... \n\nI got the Mame chashu. Ok, this type of miso broth is going to throw off a lot of people. I wouldn't say this is a pure \"ramen\" place, I'd say it's  50% ramen, 50% miso and this claim is backed up with various posters they have proclaiming the health benefits of miso soup. The Mame is not like the miso at the Monta chains, it's more like Korean miso, as in Dang-Jang-Guk. And I'm not talking about the poser Dang Jang Guk, that uses pre-packaged Japanese miso. I'm talking about the real soybeans, painstakingly fermented then hand-ground by some old Korean aijimae. It's a completely different beast; it's hearty, slightly bitter, and very strong. \n\nPersonally, I don't care for this type of miso. But if that's your thing, the Mame was the best miso-of-that-kind that I ever had. You get a huge bowl with big slices of chashu for $12. It's pricey but you get what you pay for. \n\nThe place itself is very Japanese, minimally decorated but clean. They have great free wifi. \n\nThe place does serve the typical Japanese miso ramen, called Kome, which I imagine is closer to what is served at Montas. So, if traditional ramen is your thing, I highly recommend ordering that. They were all out when I went. \n\nThey've also got Ramune soda for $2.50. \n\nThe three-stars is based on personal taste. It's not a bad ramen place at all, just not for me. If I go again, I'll update accordingly. This place has potential!


Best bar tender on EARTH served me and my girls while we killed some time before club hopping in the casinos.  This place was amazing!  We made it in time for their free shot-show, where....well you'd just have to check it out for yourself so you know what it's all about.  Ladies dance behind screens so you just see the outline of their bodies as they bust their moves....music selection the night I went was awesome.  Everything and anything that I hadn't heard, but missed, or all the new hits that don't annoy me....very KEY when going out and picking places to dish out your cash at.


I was browsing new reviews on Yelp, as I am wont to do, when I saw a 5-star review for this place. That reminded me that I had once tried the terrible food here about a year ago but I did not bother to write a review about it. The review I read was for a different location so it is possible some of the others are better, but the one in Tempe is a definite \"NO\". \n\nI got a pulled pork sandwich and the bread was so soggy that it was inedible. Not soggy in a good way from saucy goodness but like the meat and been kept hot in boiling water and they took it out and just plopped it on the bun and then squirted some bbq sauce on top. My husband had ribs which tasted like they had been cooked several hours ago and then reheated in a microwave. \n\nI don't remember much else about the food but I do remember that the restaurant was so dirty and unwelcoming that we got our food to-go even though we were originally planning to eat there. It was just a bad vibe. \n\nI know there are not a lot of options for good bbq in phx but I heartily recommend staying away from this place. On a related note: If anyone can tell me of a place in the valley that serves Texas style barbecue then please, please contact me. My husband is actually pressuring me to move back to Houston because he can't find a place here that serves beef ribs.


The breakfast is consistently great here at a reasonable price, and if you go to the Val Vista and Baseline store the customer service you will get from Hector is second to none


I really like this place.  The food is really good, the wine is really well priced, the beer list is interesting enough for beer lovers or novices and the patio is great for dining with children.  \n\nI like the new location as parking is MUCH easier and one doesn't feel so claustrophobic when you dining inside the restaurant.   I have never had a bad meal here nor have I ever had crappy service.  The dough balls and cookie desert are great touches for the kiddos as well.  \n\nThey are doing something right...


Valle Luna was a good experience with family friends in town.  There was large group of us and they seated us in a private type room, it was fantastic!  Especially since we were visiting with family friends that we have not seen in a long time and we could hear each other.  There were kiddies too with us and they had a nice kid's menu.  \n\nThe food was good, nothing out of this world, but good.  Service was like the food, good.  \n\nThe parking was a pain though, not a very big lot for such a big crowded restaurant.


My husband and I love going to Ghengis Grill and creating our own masterpieces.  We stopped in last night for dinner and they've made some changes.  They now have three sizes of bowls to choose from.  The only size they had before is not Medium, and there a small and large now.  That's fine and we figured that probably pleases more people.  BUT, the big change is that the employees behind the counter at the food line now put the food (meat) in the bowl for you.  You can ask to do it yourself, but you are carefully watched while loading up your bowl.  It just feels uncomforatble and makes you feel like a pig if you are trying to load up your bowl, which is half the fun!  It all tasted good in the end, but it wasn't the same creative dining experience that we used to enjoy.


Love this location!  I created NAKED SUSHI at Geisha House a few years ago and  I'm glad to see they kept it going since I left.  Food is great and the staff are very nice!


Gag!  This place is no good.  The worst sushi I have ever had!!  Honestly. We ordered a yellow roll and the fish was so old I was gagging and couldn't even swallow.  We told the sushi chef and they didn't do anything.  They said they would take $1 off.  Boo for bad fish and boo for bad service.


This was our first visit and our last. The waitress was slow and forgetful. My husband said his food was tolerable but would have been better if we went to fast food. The salad bar was great and tasty. However, the broccoli cheese soup was disgusting.  It tasted like nacho cheese from 7-11 with broccoli florets dropped in.


Blah!  This was my 2nd visit to Bravo, 1st time I got a grilled chicken salad & had to send it back b/c the chicken was pink.  This time we started w/ the sangria rosa, way to sweet & was more like a daiquiri.  I got the chicken caprese & the chicken was very thin & like rubber, I could barely cut it, the orzo had zero seasoning.  So disappointed & we will not be going back!  Only reason for 2 stars instead of one was because we had good service.


Lol\u00eb vs Lululemon... Grand combat! Mais dans mon coeur, la deuxi\u00e8me marque restera toujours ma favorite. D\u00e9sol\u00e9e Lol\u00eb si je te blesse en ces quelques mots, j'ai pourtant essay\u00e9, mais tes produits ne m'ont pas s\u00e9duites au point de trahir Lulu. Triste sort, oui je sais. Mais je ne peux \u00eatre infid\u00e8le \u00e0 Lulu, tu comprends?! N'en parlons, cela serait trop douloureux pour toi, Lol\u00eb ... ;)


I didn't know what to expect but I couldn't stop laughing the entire time. I loved the show!


Great decor, professional dealers, and lots of celebrity poker players here.  Definitely worth checking out!


What can be said? I've been going to the restaurant for years... YEARS! But yesterday I was thoroughly disappointed. The food has taken a major turn for the worst... Gone is the freshness, gone is the cleanliness and GONE is the tastiness. Sushi: We ordered Sashimi and a couple of roles. The one thing you expect from Sushi is freshness... Takamatsu sushi had all the indicators of DAYS in the fridge.  It was beyond belief. The fish was stale and gray. The GINGER! This stuff comes from bottles was old and smelled like pine sol... Come on man. I could have brought in fresher ginger.  Now to the main course. The bulgogi... The mainstay of Korean food... horrible. HORRIBLE I SAY. This was not bulgogi. This was super thinly sliced beef, god I hope it was beef, that had been stored in fridge and they later found and decided not to let it go to waste.  Side dishes were okay, but lacked flavor and freshness. Lastly comes the cleanliness. This should be the easiest thing to achieve in a restaurant. Don't need a pricey chef, waiter or creativity... Just need a bucket, cleaning solution, a mop and some backbone. Don't go near the bathrooms or you will find your shoes stuck to the floor like a roach motel. Don't believe me, take a sticky strole passed the sushi bar. After all was said and done and paid my fine of ~$80 to be released from Takamatsu. Lets put it this way fellow foodies. If I knew the food tasted this badly they could not have paid me $80 to eat it. \n\nTakamatsi is an embarrassment to honest Korean Restaurants in the valley.  They should close or get their act together before someone is hurt badly with their food.  If you decide to go there and get disappointed, don't blame me. I tried my best to provide you a fair warning. \n\nThus my review... \nService great  \nPrice: $80 for two adults\nCleanliness:     ...............\nFood Bad.... VERY Bad


I had the smothered chicken with mac and cheese and green beans.I can say it was worth the drive from Balyntyne suburbs to get some good ole southern cooking. i got there at 11:30am on a Wednesday... the lunch crowd has not even came in yet so I was 1 of the first customers I gave it a 3.5  star wish could have given it a 4 star mainly the it was too pricey for the amount of food given... A fair price for that plate should have been $7 tops.. I paid $10 an didnt get a drink with it.. Don't think I will be visiting this place anytime soon..


I get upset often at this store. While the employees seem very nice and are always more than helpful. Over and over this store has many problems. Often I don't get the sale price on purchases and have to drive back since I don't catch it while they are ringing it up. Many times I've seen out of date products on the shelf and sometimes I accidentally purchase some of them. One time I went in to buy limes and all the limes had mold on them.(my picture is terrible and I couldn't capture all the mold)  I did speak to the manager about it and he said the limes were fine when you wipe the mold off and then he was at the limes wiping off the mold.\n\nYESTERDAY in the meat department they had large packs of beef with stickers on them that said 96% and I could tell just by looking at them that it wasn't. Then I noticed the price sticker said 80% I brought this to the attention to someone from the meat department and instead of fixing the packs he told me that the meat was OK. \n\nI don't think that's OK. Some people do have health issues and need to have the correct fat content.\n\nSadly The near by Fry's is even worst and I haven't been there in over a year since I kept buying spoiled meat from them and that is why I can't give this place one star.


I would say that this is easily the best place to go in in Sun Prairie.  We have been here about 6 times and it has consistently been good.  I have ordered steak, fried fish, entrees... it's all pretty good.  The kids meals are well portioned and the kids eat it.  They rotate their menu and the beer on tap - that makes repeat business worth while.  It can be pretty busy on a Friday night.  They have filled a need in town.


Got a tattoo here a few months ago by Mario. I'm satisfied with the results of my tattoo, but the overall experience was a little meh. Mostly because I came in with a friend and they treated her quite differently than they treated me. I have red and black hair, and multiple tattoos. I had an idea in my head, and didn't bring a photo with me. My friend is brunette and only has one other tattoo. She brought in a photo of exactly what she wanted. Mario gave her a really hard time about doing it exactly how it is in the photo. I understand as an artist you want to be more original, but if somebody is going to pay you, especially for a simple 20 minute tattoo, then I think you should just do it. My tattoo was drawn up quick and done even quicker, because it was just a simple word in old school font. Hers took probably 3 times the time it should have, and she was so upset with how it was turning out that she wouldn't let him finish and left in tears. Not only was it unfinished, and not at all how she wanted it, but she had to pay to have another artist fix it, and it took FOREVER to heal because he basically jabbed the needle so hard into her ankle that it ended up getting infected. You may prefer to do more original work, but YOU aren't the one with this on your body forever. If you don't like a tattoo, and don't want to do it how the person wants it... then say no, and send them to another artist. It's as simple as that.


It has an unique layout, and although there is a lot of space- it is crowded.  I did find it easier to get a drink here versus other clubs on the same weekend.  The crowd is a little older, but not old.  The night I was there, I didn't see any issues with the dress code as others have commented.


Okay, first of all, we have driven by this place maybe 4-5 times a week and thought it was a coffee house. Never would go there with Hava Java as an option. So we were shocked to find out that this was a bar.  Like the atmosphere with good lighting and an all around good feel to the place. Cocktails were spot on. Even with a spilled cocktail the staff was excellent and gave us another at no charge. The food wasn't that memorable. We got the tamale burger. Very dry and the tamale had an off taste to it. On the bright side the fries were delicious. Not sure what spices they put in it, but we thought they had a hint of nutmeg or cinnamon which was very tasty. Definitely go back for drinks and will give the sweet and spicy burger a try. The waitress recommended that! We will reyelp next visit!


Stayed here for the first time.. Fabulous!  Great atmosphere... Friendly staff, clean hotel & rooms!  Only down side is there are no shower curtains in the showers... It's cold out there!  They said the architect they had said its the new style!  Oh well. Everything else was great!!


Came here because of the rating.  Food was average in taste and quality and pricey to boot.  Atmosphere is very basic at best...kind of like a run down college diner.   On the plus side, food was served almost instantly and the bbq sauce was tasty.


My girlfriends and I stopped in for a quick lunch Saturday and was pleasantly surprised by the food and service from this location.\n\nWe walked in and the place was pretty empty but very clean. We were immediately greeted by Christina who ended up taking our order and giving excellent customer service.\n\nWe were starving and a lot of the newer items on the menu seemed very tempting! Christina went over several items and we settled on the turkey bacon and ranch wrap, fish sandwich and regular roast beef sandwich.\n\nWe waited because they had to prepare everything after we order, but I don't mind waiting for hot food! And Christina brought everything out to us and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal. \n\nMy friend let me try some of her wrap. It was delicious the ranch dressing has a bit of a kick and it comes with a good amount of turkey, lettuce and tomatoes. \n\nI ordered the fish sandwich was really good, crispy on the outside pretty good with a little ketchup and lettuce. I love the seasoned fries, especially when they are hot and fresh! \n\nI didn't try the roast beef, but from what my friend said it was pretty delicious! \n\nI was pleasantly surprised with how the service was at this location. And hot food is always a winner in my book. So I'm sure to stop in again!


Visited this location for lunch with my mom.  Our server Sierra was very friendly.  My review is a warning to vegetarians.\n\nI prepared my vegetarian bowl with tofu.  My food was cooked on the grill with other bowls that had meat.  Towards the end of my meal, I was very disturbed to bite into a piece of chicken.  I told our server that they should really be more careful when the bowls are being grilled all together.  I did not tell the cooks that I was a vegetarian, but I assumed that there was some care taken to prevent the bowls from mixing together.\n\nMy thinking is this- my family eats chicken, but does not eat pork.  They would have no reason to tell the cooks that they are vegetarian (apparently the code word that tells them to prepare the food carefully?), but that doesn't mean that they would be fine to bite into pork from another customer's bowl.\n\nThe solution that our server suggested (I should have told the cooks that my bowl is vegetarian so they would be careful to not mix the bowls) is not a very good solution.  Shouldn't all of the food be prepared carefully??? There are valid reasons (religious, for example) where someone may eat one particular kind of meat, but abstain from others. Proceed with caution.


Fuck this place. Showed up with 50+ people for one of our hammer & cycle bike rides and the bartender said we were being too loud and running off her customers. We were all paying customers and were not even loud to the 5 other people that were there. Fuck that place you just lost the best night you probably every had!!!!


Good atmosphere, tasty food. This is a fun place to grab a bite to eat and watch a game or two. Decent drink specials - they do a Wednesday night beer roulette.


Everything about this place is brilliant. Wouldn't be surprised to see them pop up all over the country, it's that fun (and delicious too). Hope one comes to Dallas, Tx, because I won't be back in NC for a while.


I would like to say that Smashburger is the most smashing burger I've ever had. However that's not the case. The decor is very minimalistic, that's okay it's a pretty casual burger joint and I was meeting a friend here for lunch so I'm not expecting much ambiance or else something has gone terribly wrong.\n\nSo you saunter up to that counter and you have a couple of choices for burgers. I chose the classic with veggie frites cause those sounded pretty cool. Well the burger's the most decent burger I've ever had. It was filling and unmemorable, well maybe I'm to blame for that maybe I shouldn't order a classic burger if I want my taste buds titillated. Veggie frites? I was expecting something like crispy vegetables and they kind of ended up being a fairly small portion of oily limpdick veggies, at least they're salted nicely.\n\nTotal bill for lunch? $9 I might as well go to a nicer restaurant and pony up the extra $1 for a much more awesome burger. However when I'm in the Stonecrest area this will do in a pinch.


The only good thing about this place is that it's open Saturdays and a very nice dental assistant. Other than that I would not suggest this dental office. My husband and I went in for a dental exam/ cleaning/ X-rays - or so I thought, they just took exams and gave us a list of what was wrong with our teeth and the cost. The receptionist was not easy to talk to , and it was hard to understand her when I asked questions.


Went there last night with a big group after a day of conference. We had a great time. I shared the cowboy steak and the porter house steak with some friends. I like much better the cowboy steak which was perfectly cooked medium rare with a very nice crust. Service was good as well. All my group had a great time and enjoyed their food.


Good food, nice prices and friendly people. The place is well staffed although they could do a bit of spring cleaning, my side of the booth was littered with napkins and what not. Surprisingly they have delicious roast beef sliders.


Promised myself in the breakfast review I wrote in early July that I would go back for lunch.  Check!  Been twice for lunch now and each time walked away fully, full and happy.\n\nFirst trip brought fried catfish, candied yams and a small salad with blue cheese dressing.  The catfish is fried whole and comes with some spicy, mayo-based sauce on the side.  Splash on some hot sauce and a squeeze of lemon and you get, YUM!  The sides were good as well.\n\nSecond visit, I went with the lunch special of the day, beef liver and onions.  OK, I know some of you just went, \"GROSS\"!  Don't be haters!  Liver is delicious, especially when it's prepared like this.  Slight char on it and covered in a great tasting   brown onion gravy. Tried the mac n cheese this time and it made me smile also.  They also bring a small individual loaf of cornbread and honey butter with lunch orders.  It is moist and flavorful and is a great add to the meal.\n\nService was fast and friendly on both lunch visits just like at breakfast.  Thankfully I work at the Southern end of Tryon and Mert's is towards the Northern end, just across from the Hearst Tower on College St.  Let's just say, I need that longish walk back to cubeville after a big, delicious lunch like this...


Never disappoints!


I've had pretty bad experiences going to TAO Nightclub. Reason being that the place likes to pack it all the time with no room to dance and no room to walk around because you're bound to bump into people. TAO Beach was no different. Small pool area and they packed this place also with no room to hang out. Luckily it wasn't a big event here at TAO even though we were on the guest list and had to arrive before 11am in order to get a purple wristband. For what though? Men weren't given free drinks from 1pm - 2pm. Only the women were able to get free drinks. We didn't know and some of us ended up paying and some of us didn't. \n\nHowever, day clubs are usually fun no matter what and even though I came here with low expectations which I'm glad I did, I ended up having a good time here. Music, drinks and people hitting the beach balls at each other made it a good time. Even if the water became cloudy after a while when the pool got packed. Main pool was packed as well as the smaller one towards the back of the area. Locker room proved useful but be sure to chip in with friends to make it worth useful as $20 is too much for one couple. If you didn't reserve to get a chair or a cabana, this is not the place to go to if you want to relax unless you're thinking of just staying in the pool the whole time. Just make sure you get there early to get a spot in the pool. If you don't have space, you're better off going outside of TAO Beach and just relaxing at the bigger pool area outside.


Just like many other Ritas, but this one is kosher which eliminates a few products that are even advertised inside the store.  Only reason why not 4 or 5 stars is because of the kosher options


Great service, lots of tasty options spinach enchiladas were delicious also chips and salsa they give you are great, the green salsa is my favorite! Will be back to try more.


I stayed at the Rio with a conference in July. It was dirty, musty, mildewed, the pool was closed a lot during normal hours of operation, the food was okay. The game floor was run-down, dirty, stinky (like someone crapped their pants-all the time). The elevators were often crowded and we had to wait in a mob to get on an elevator. There were always long lines at reception and concierge. We were there on weekdays. The shuttle services was poor - always waiting for the second or third shuttle to pick us up from the strip to come back. A cab would've been easier and worth the money. We had a great rate but it was similar to better kept hotels on the strip.  I would not ever stay there again with all of the other options in Vegas. I only stayed because of the conference or I would've changed hotels after the first night.


Cool hipster place \nDon't expect a regular place and take this place for what it is :) \nI once forgot my credit card and this place gave me my drink and snack as a \"pay later\"! Wow! I was so impressed that a busy town place is trusting like that, I paid the very same day :)
