How might one describe the sentiment of this review? Zink is super cool. Right in the center of Uptown Charlotte, so it's easy to get to, and easy to hit up before, after or FOR your dinner plans. It's definitely a swanky place, so be prepared. It feels like you're in a bigger city like New York or Miami when you're eating there, which is cool. Lots of young, attractive people, I guess. I always get their burgers, but apparently most of their options are good. My girlfriend really likes their sushi of all things. And their pizzas. Tons of options on a very diverse menu, so you can plan on being able to order anything your heart desires. Great drinks--and a great place TO drink, if that's what you're in the mood for. Definitely a "pre-game" type of place if you're looking to get sauced before hitting a livelier scene. OPTIONS: - negative - positive

I've been coming to Vegas over 15 years and I've been to almost every pool from Red Rock Casino to Hooters. The pool at the MGM is one of the main reasons I keep coming back to this hotel. I guess the best compliment I could give the pool at MGM is variety. With most Vegas pools.....you have one pool and maybe a side small pool. MGM offers multiple pools....a lazy river....Wet Republic. The drink service is top notch. You have a walk up food area which has good food options and decent Vegas pool side prices. Towel service is also a plus as they hand you two huge white towels when you walk in. The pool areas are also very clean and MGM does a great job of constant sweeping and trash maintenance. Just a heads up to this pool area.....they check your bags for glass/outside alcohol. My advice if you need to bring in outside alcohol is to fill a plastic bottle becuase they arent letting you in with anything else. You can spring for a bucket of tall Budweiser products....6 beers for $36. They have yards of alcohol slushies you can buy as well and refills are less expensive. All in all....the MGM pool is fantastic and I will keep coming back What is the sentiment of this review? OPTIONS: - negative - positive

I'm not sure about the other locations but the service at this place is unbelievable our server went from the cash to the phone to mopping the floors then serving our food with out even washing her hands once (EWWW) and this place would need a flood to clean out the mess and lingering dirt . we strolled in the location at 11:15pm (munchies) and were rushed to make our order and hurry up and eat because they wanted to close at 12pm. I'll sum it up like this this is a take out joint because the dieing experience isn't catered in this Wok Cafe. oh the Pad Thai is out of intergalacticly out of this world and is to die for !

Went here for breakfast since it was recommended. Service was very good since it was a busy morning. I thought it was odd they service pickles with your drinks but hey I love pickles so I ate some! I ended up order french toast but the new york style. It was really fried so get ready for something greasy. I think it wasn't what I expected so I did not enjoy it as much as I enjoyed my boyfriends bagel egg sandwich. Will try again another day.

How might one describe the sentiment of this review? This place is Hipster central but that is not necessarily a bad thing. I had the daily fish which was the sea bass and it was delicious!!! The reuben is also very delicious. On Sunday's they have half off bottles of wine. We ordered a nice bottle of white pinot and complimented the fish very well. The folks split a reuben sandwich and it was phenomenal. We have a high standard when it comes to deli meat and, believe me, this sandwich was on point. The corned beef was still dripping its own juices and garnered bits of fat that accentuated the entire flavor of the sandwich. All in all, very good.

It was a super hot day when we went here and it was uncomfortably hot inside as well. There were only 3 tables seated and yet it took forever for us to get our drinks, refills and food. I don't eat pork and often have to special order menu items without bacon. NOTHING angers me more than when places forget while making the food and then pull the bacon off before serving which is what obviously happened here. I had to dissect my wrap in order to remove bits of bacon and could taste it in every bite. Totally ruined my meal. I doubt we'll be back. What is the sentiment of this review?

I like simple places. The downfall of many restaurants (IMHO) is attempting to do too much. Rather than stick to what they can excel at, many owners try to extend themselves into arenas where they should not go. This strategy is usually driven by incremental revenue or to appeal to new demographics. What usually results is a culinary travesty that leaves everyone unsatisfied and ultimately another statistic in the world of failed businesses. THMMB is not that sort of place, and I suspect, that it is the sort of joint that has real staying power. The reason: THMMB does one thing - burgers, and it does it with aplomb. I get one thing when I come here - the green chili cheese burger combo for $5. Good burger, good price point. Nuff said.

This has been my third time at iPic and I have to say each time has been great. Although the prices are a little high, the truth is, the food, drink and comfort you get make the whole experience completely worth it. The bartenders were friendly and the servers were just fantatic. I can't say enough great things about how good the food was. If you havn't tried it, I would recommend the delux seats for your first experience. If that isn't for you, the normal seats are still super comfortable. Way better than any other theater I have been to.

Great customer service, beautiful hotel design, great location on the strip. The rooms are a little smaller than I care for, but I have stayed here a number of times regardless.

"You get what you pay for" If only that were the truth. Let's see.... We got there and: 1) The elevator from the parking structure is out - so we hoof it from the 4th floor all the way to reception with our bags in tow. 2)We got booked into a smoking room when we specifically asked for a non-smoking room 3)We got transferred to a non-smoking room (after a few hours) with a view of the Airport.... well, there would have been a view if the windows weren't so damned grimy 4)Uncomfortable Bed 5)Tube TV that kept cutting out every few minutes, which wouldn't have been bad on its own, but the batteries on the remote were dead.. HAH! Okay, at 25 bucks a night, I might have agreed that we got what we paid for and it might have been a So-so 2.5 to three stars. MAYBE. But when you tack on an additional UNDISCLOSED $15/day "Resort Fee" (What resort? it was 40 freakin Degrees out!), No Wi-Fi AND $15/day wired internet fee?? .... Umm... Yeah ... 1.5 stars and I'm not even going to round it up to two. PROTIP: Hooters appears to be where failed Import model wannabes with bad boob jobs go to die. - Enjoy.

What fun! We had a great dinner at our first visit to Noca and thoroughly enjoyed the taste, presentation and unique flair of the food. The cuisine was creative yet yet still harmonious, fresh and high quality. A culinary adventure (in a good way) - we couldn't wait to experiencet each course. After we ordered we received two complementary treats - first a gazpacho "granita" (like a tomato icee with basil oil) and a cold fresh pea soup. Both excellent and perfectly refreshing. For starters, my husband got the cold corn soup, which was naturally sweet, rich and luscious. I had the squash blossoms stuffed with ricotta and fried tempura style. Excellent, though I think I'd like anything cheesy and done tempura style, so maybe I should have tried something a little less conventional. We then shared a large raviolo with duck egg in the center and rich lobster sauce with mushrooms. Delectable; and I'm glad we shared because it was quite rich and filling. The serving temperature was luke warmish - I'm not sure if that was by design, but it would have been even better piping hot. Our main courses were scallops for me and sliced rolled beets stuffed with cheese for my husband. The scallops were done just right, and nicely salty (too much so for my husband's taste by I loved it). The beet dish was a play on a "pasta" dish with beets instead of pasta. The sweetness of the beets was nicely offset by the bitterness of broccoli rabe. By the time we got through all this (OK I had to have some of the scallop dish packed to go), we were stuffed but were dying to see what they could do with the desserts. A complementary bowl of green apple cotton candy kept us entertained while we perused the dessert menu. If we had listened to our stomachs we would have stopped there, but the taste buds were in charge by that time. The lemon tart was a wonderful. The donuts were, well ... donuts. I personally think that's a good thing (mmmm...donuts), but next time I'll try a more creative selection. On a Thursday evening we found the place less than half full so apparently weeknight crowds are hit or miss. The interior decor is spare yet comfortable. Until sundown the natural light through the windows is bright enough to make the interior a bit harsh and difficult to focus. I generally love lots of natural light, so I don't know why I found the lighting here so difficult. prices are fairly high, and I'm not surprised considering the uniquness of each dish - many items are locally sourced and and are clearly albor intensive. Regarding the of the dishes, I would be nicely sated with an appetizer and an entree, or only an entree for a light meal. The multi-course feast I described here had me uncomfortably full, and I'm not a skimpy eater. We aready have reservations to try one of their tasting dinners.

What is the sentiment of the following review? Bacchanal Buffet is an absolutely superior buffet!! EVERY single dish was incredibly delicious. I am not a fan of trying normal dishes at LV buffets just because I like to try things I normally wouldn't. However I did try the Mac and cheese and It was delicious as well. I found it hilarious that something so simple could be made to have such a delicious taste. We went with a party of eight therefore they automatically added the 18% tip. I was not surprised being most restaurants do that nowadays. I am happy to say that every single person in our party agreed it was the best buffet in LV. It was such a nice experience. Everything about the restaurant is awesome. Additionally I enjoyed their decoration and the way the food is presented. I cannot say enough great things about this place definitely worth the price considering there are other buffets that cost nearly the same and are not close to being as good! Can't wait to be in Las Vegas again so that I can come to this buffet again!! OPTIONS: - negative - positive

My fiance and I both have our old ID's. i was 16 in mine which was 8 YEARS AGO.

So somehow it wasnt me cuz for 1. i dont look like the id ((Like if a 24 yr oldis supposed to look like theyre still 16)) WTF??? And for 2. Since i had a labrae piercing when i was 16, it's not me because "I DONT HAVE MY LABRAE SCAR" AGAIN, PICTURE WAS TOOKEN 8 YRS AGO!! Security asked for a 2nd identity, like "REALLY? I DIDNT KNOW I HAVE TO WALKAROUND WITH MY I.D PLUSMY BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND SOCIAL" That's me being a smart ass lol. he THEN asked "if i have a FB" No luck there cuz me n fiance share one and it's under our kids names. but showed him our LOG IN E-MAIL Which did have our names. The whole thing was RIIIDICULOUS. ALL BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT IT WASNT ME. I'M A HARD WORKING MOTHER OF 2. BORN IN PHX. I DONT NEED TO BE AN IDENTY THIEF. My fiancee told me "dont worry, theyre gna say all they want. your sister is gna come and we're gna walk RIGHT IN" AND thats exactly what happened.

Followed by chicken tikka masala (really good) and a mushroom dish that I cant remember the name of but we thought it could've been a little more spicey hot for our taste, but was still good. We also had rice with peas and nuts with various spices. The dips they serve when you sit down are tasty. One spicy hot pepper, one sweet, and the other a mint. Overall everything was very tasty, and they didn't seem to use too much salt like most restaurants do. It's a bit far from where we live but will be worth the trip back.

We ate dinner here three times in a five-night stay, and were delighted each time. I have a sushi problem (in that I can't stop eating it; delicious, fishy crack). We did the "Roll Boat" twice to eliminate the drama of getting four people to pick what they like individually, and both times attacked that ship like it was the Bismarck. Sure, some the rolls were a bit "Americanized"--tempura, cream cheese, goo--but they were yummy. One that's not on the boat is the Sunshine Roll, which includes thinly sliced lemon, a new sushi-flavor-favorite of mine. The foodie pickin's are slim at The Orleans (to quote a friend, you can only Ruck so much Fudd). Koji is a winner--and not just by default.

Is the following review positive or negative? The M Resort is perhaps the most overrated Casino in Las Vegas, it sits as the very first Casino into Las Vegas - and it's well worth driving past and heading onto other properties. I'm a local player and I have never experienced bad service as I have at the M Resort, on the first night - a friend wanted to introduce me to the M Resort, she boasted at how well I would be taken care off, so off we went. I dropped $700 on the table for change, and we proceeded to play. I was doing okay, friend was losing a lot and quickly - and as we were playing, I was quite shocked to hear the Pit Boss turn and scold the dealer in front of me in fact, it can be described as a 3 minute argument - as I sat there staring at them, waiting for the cards to be dealt. After that little fiasco, I cashed out at $950 and headed back to Green Valley Ranch. On several occasions after, I have opted to visit the M outside of my favorite local hangout (GVR), The M is quite out of the way for me, as I live just around the corner from GVR - and I usually play around 5pm 3-4 days a week. I enter the M to find that there are no double deck Blackjack tables available, either they were too full or changed to a higher limit to accommodate one person. I asked if there was a way to get a table open, and I was told I had to wait until 7:30pm. The first time this happened, I was disappointed because I was looking forward to an evening at the M. The second time this happened, I immediately contacted my Casino Host Gary to bring his attention to the matter. He asked me to speak with the Floor Manager the next time I am in. I once again attempted a trip out to the M, this time I was told that there wasn't enough business during the day to open another table. I come in to play $25 blackjack, which means I have more than $100 in my wallet - I would imagine that I had more to spend than it would cost to pay the full days salary of one dealer - so this made no sense to me, I didn't argue and I headed to Green Valley Ranch where I played happily and stayed the night. What burns me about this, is that the M is out of the way for me, and I only ever visit to accommodate my friends or because I really do like my Casino Host. Last night I once again went to the M Resort - this was at 7pm but I had a bad losing streak at GVR so I wasn't in the mood to play at the M. We opted to go to the Buffet for dinner, we entered the Casino Host room - and was greeted by Myong - I asked for Gary who wasn't available, we then asked her if she could write up a comp for my friend and we were given 2 buffets - she then says "In the future, this room is for M Card Holders" go outside to get your comps. I was nearly flabbergasted at how she responded, she did not look at us, nor did she bother to acknowledge that we called for my Casino Host who is incidentally working with me to get my play at the M Resort instead of GVR - I quickly looked at her and said - that she and the Casino has lost my business - and that she could relay that to my Casino Host. I understand that businesses offer extra services for people who play often and high, but I have tried on many occasions to spend money at the M, and then to be brushed off without so much as trying to help or being nice about it, is just plain rude. I hold a chairman's card at GVR - one would assume, that if I play that much at one place - you had an open door to steal that business, apparently they are not interested. We went to the buffet and sat all the way at the back - the room with a view which was fine, we had a nice booth and that worked. I recall going to the M Buffet in the past, and was always happy, and perhaps it was the way I was treated at the Host Room that may have influenced my experience, but the food was just boring... I really wished we had gone to GVR's buffet were I could have my crab stir fried spicy rather than praying that the oysters they had out weren't going to kill me. This was perhaps surprising for me, as I had just lost a heck of a lot of money at GVR but I wanted to be there instead. Unfortunately for me, my friend is heading into town this week for a few days and staying at the M - I won't spend a dime in there, so now I need to figure out how to venture her out of that forsaken place and head into perhaps the Wynn Resort - which is now growing into my second favorite hang out. In conclusion, if you are going to the M Resort to eat, don't expect the same as you had in the past, the buffet at Planet Hollywood is still better and one I highly recommend over the M Resort. For gaming, if you're opting for tables other than machines - you are much better off passing this place up. OPTIONS: - negative - positive

Over the last 2 weeks, I have bussed down to Penn Avenue in the heart of what many Pittsburgher's know as 'The Cultural District' to enjoy dinner with old friends. BOTH times, the meeting spot was supposed to be Sienna Mercato. Busy with a waiting list, we ended up landing next door for dinner at August Henry's City Saloon. Upon entry to August Henry's, we got a seat right away. This American pub is located between two newer restaurants that are getting a lot of buzz as Downtown Pittsburgh destinations: Ten Penny and the abovementioned Sienna Mercato. With unique ambiance decorating both establishments, I truly believe you are paying for the name vs. the quality experience I had at August Henry's. While dining at August Henry's, friends and I enjoyed sandwiches and salads with drinks from the bar. On visit one, I devoured a Steelworker burger, complete with a sizable beef patty, saut\u00e9ed onions and a pierogie. As decadent as this was, I psyched myself into having a side salad with balsamic dressing in order to feel better about myself. The second visit was equally enjoyable, as I ordered the popular Sweet Potato Chicken Salad as my entr\u00e9e. It was sooooo good. Washing this all down with Vodka and soda on a warm summer evening made for the best cocktail choice (and they have a generous pour I might add). Even though this restaurant is not new, I had never been to it before the restaurants mentioned above along the Pittsburgh - Penn Avenue corridor. Yes, that means August Henry might be the overflowing second choice to the newer options, but I truly did enjoy this staple and hope that it sticks around for years to come.

Went on a Sunday morning about 10am. It was clearly busier than the staff and kitchen crew are able to handle. The place was packed but the tables were not full. It took a while to order and then the order was not correct when it came to the table. The appetizer cinnamon roll never came, my drink was not refilled and my pancake was burnt (black).

We were the only ones dining for lunch because we got there right as they opened at 11AM. He had the po boy and I had rotisserie chicken salad. My salad was pretty tasty and he really enjoyed his po boy, so all in all it made for a great place to catch lunch before hitting the tables.

I was very impressed with the decor, the service and the food! My colleague and I were staying at Treasure Island for a trade show and decided on Mexican food for dinner. I'm happy ISLA was the choice. Warm, crunchy tortillas with three dipping sauces came out and made no need for an appetizer, although they had very tempting choices. My co-worker ordered the steak pyramid and it looked amazing on the menu. When it actually came out, my first impression was that it was smaller than I expected, but it did come with a side of rice and beans. I got a bite of the meat and ohhhhh la la, that's some tender ass meat! I don't know what they use to marinate it but damn it was yummy. I, on the other hand, ordered the pork sliders with fries (I am a french fry fiend!) There were 3 total and I got full after the 2nd one. The entire experience, lighting, decor, food presentation was all very impressive. It was definitely a far call from the hole-in-the-wall joints in SJ. If you're ever by Treasure Island, drop by ISLA, you won't be disappointed!

I went to first watch for first time and will not be back. I ordered the Chickichanga. The potatoes were burned. I also feel like they were frozen potatoes. The chicken I had inside felt like rubber. And tasted just like frozen Tyson chicken. I felt like I was on an episode of restaurant impossible where I had to taste and criticize the terrible food. The service was not as wonderful as everyone is saying. Yes they were nice but that's all. The host sat us in the very back of the restaurant when there was clearly room towards the front for us to sit. It took at least 10 min for anyone to come to us. After we got our food about 15 min later the waitress brought our bill. It felt as if they were trying to rush us out. But by then I was disgusted by the food I honestly was ready. But hey the water was good.

I really didn't know what to make of this place when I first saw it. It looked like a shopping center, but one look inside tells a different story. It's actually a historical building that houses a few businesses, and had plaques and displays on the walls telling the stories of some of the men who helped develop the south end area. After reading about their various deeds I came to the conclusion that like most historically great men, these guys were misguided elitists. Culturally accepted child labor and class-ism aside, this place had a kind of creepy old institution/ Resident Evil feel to it. But then I'm into that kind of thing. It's a nice place to visit if you're in the neighborhood, but I wouldn't seek it out.

What is the sentiment of the following review? The rave reviews around this buffet has made it out to be legen, wait for it, I hope your not lactose intolerant, DARY! A group of nine came in here for a joint birthday after hearing that it was an amazing treat. Some of us got there early in case there was a line, but were greeted with five or six people queuing at any given moment. We decided to go downstairs, get a few drinks, and chill at the Vesper bar while the rest of our party gathered. Eventually everyone made it for the 6 o'clock dinner appointment. The cashier was very patient with us as we sorted out our bill. Some had cards, while others had cash. Not once did she cringe or look put out. That was a good start. The weekend dinner was $35 dollars, add tax and the 18% gratuity for a large party, and it comes out to $45 per person. The service was quick and attentive, so the gratuity was deserved, but the food selection does not warrant the price. The few specialty items such as the truffle potatoes, bone marrow, ratatouille, and lamb were delicious. Chinese food is like a salad bar, meant to fill you up and cost them nothing. I cannot help, but make a stop at this station when visiting a buffet. It pains me to say that the best dish offered at this station was the General Tsao Chicken. The kalbi was mediocre in flavor, but had a great charred crust. The consideration of removing the complete shell on the shrimp made for quick eating, but the cocktail sauce has no zest. The crab claws had a nice briny taste which I enjoy in seafood. The ceviche was good, but not spectacular. The most disappointing part of the whole experience was the dessert island. They are all visually astonishing, but lacked in pleasurableness to the palate. The chocolate strawberries were plump and juicy, but the chocolate did not contribute anything to it. The salted peanut gelato was my favorite. The creamy streaks of caramel, vanilla base, and bits of salted peanuts reminded me of a Payday. The balance of flavors were exquisite. The pistachio, lemon, and mint were also delicious. Be careful of the lemon, because it is pucker inducing. Overall, you can do one of the other buffets for a fraction of the price and be satisfied.

Great place to go on First Fridays. Phoenix has an art walk, galleries are open, food and street art all available, even Ollie the trolley to give you a lift from the Phoenix Art Museum to the main areas of the art galleries. So Park at the Phoenix Art Museum on the first Friday of the month, free admission, donation recommended and enjoy the museum. Once your done with the museum Ollie the trolley will give you a ride to downtown where more art and food can be had. As for the museum it has great contemporary art as well as classic art. It is several stories high and displays several exhibits throughout. We enjoyed the classic art and the modern exhibits as well. My suggestion is to go on the first Friday of the month so that you can enjoy the museum at a donation admission price. Then take Ollie the trolley to Roosevelt and enjoy local art, street art, and food. Take in the complete Phoenix art scene in one night. Enjoy :) Is this review positive or negative?

definitely comforting that this place is not too far from where i live now. back in LA we went to in n out ALL THE TIME! anyway, service here is ok. it gets a little busy at times, but they are definitely pretty good about being friendly and as quick as they can. after reading a friend's facebook post about that maxim article and the "secret menu" i had to try and order "road kill" fries...and they refused to make them. that was a total bummer. i thought it wasnt a vegas thing or something, but apparently the one near UNLV will make them. since its so close to my place, im sure i'll be back. gotta love the animal style fries and neopolitan shake!!! and - major plus - i always order extra pickles with my burger and usually i'll get a few on my burger, but they really load it on!!!

Ate here last night for dinner. Overall, this buffet was hit or miss, with a lot of misses. The selection of food was on the small side, compared to most other buffets in town. Most of the entrees were not very good. Stand outs were the short ribs and chili chicken. The do pasta extremely poorly. We only managed to eat one bite of both the lasagne and the shrimp stuffed ravioli w/ pesto sauce. If I hadn't ready the description of the dish I never would have known it was shrimp stuffed OR had a pesto sauce. The filling was white and mushy with no taste. The pesto sauce was dry and green. The vegetables and salads were outstanding! It's really hard to believe. There was mashed butternut squash that was at the very end of the buffet that was very very good. It was next to made to order NY steak and had already been cooked. Not sure where the "made to order" came in. Broccoli, roasted vegetables, fish with mango sauce and five grain salad were also very good. The Tuscan bread salad was awful. The turkey from the carving station was not good either. Hard to believe that they could mess up vegetable pizza, but they did. The dessert bar had great chocolate flan, but not much else of note. The service was not much better. They promptly cleared dishes the moment you got up and they were very good about bringing fresh silverware/napkins, but they managed to spill water on us every time they refilled our glasses! The iced tea was delicious. I would spend my money and calories somewhere else! What is the sentiment of this review? OPTIONS: - negative - positive
