Q: What a huge disappointment. My husband and I stayed at The Venetian and heard good things about Bouchon so we thought we'd give it a try for our one year anniversary dinner. What a mistake that was! I ordered the skate and my husband had the steak frites; both were WAY too salty/overseasoned - almost to the point where his steak was not edible. My skate was bland, albeit too salty, and seenmed soggy in the center but dry on the outside. I ordered the potato puree side which could have used MORE seasoning as it was very bland. As I mentioned, my husband's steak was way way too salty and, frankly, the cut of meat was not good. We did order a pork & shiitake mushroom appetizer which was actually very good so I was surprised with the poor quality of our entrees. On a positive note, our server was very attentive and provided great service. Overall, I was very disappointed with the quality of food at Bouchon. I would not return.

Q: I love the Cugino's on Maryland parkway so when I heard there's one at North Decatur and 215 I was excited. THE NAME IS IN THE TITLE "Pizzeria" First this is not a deli like the Maryland one, don't come here to buy your sauces, noodles, and fresh meats. No Donnie special here :( We ordered a meat lovers and a meatball parm. Both delicious. This Cugino's only deals with the pizzas, calzones, and a few sandwiches. No appetizers, pasta dishes or full dinner /lunch meals (no lasagna, ziti etc). Food= delish Service=above and beyond Prices=great Selection=I wanted the Donnie Special Sandwich but hey what can you do. I will come here again an again.. I think I bleed marinara

Q: Went here with my 2yo. I was told there is a toddler area so seemed worth checking out. Well, the toddler area is some soft blocks off in a corner and a couple small slides. My son had fun there for all of about 10 minutes. He wanted to explore all the other areas but they are really for 5 year olds and up. I had to go with him to climb any of the tree structure and it was overrun with older kids, so not that much fun. Overall we were able to entertain him indoors for an hour so 2 stars for that. However, I really think there should be price levels for different ages. Had to pay the full $10 for him (plus $5 for an additional adult), when he can't do nearly as much as the older kids. Won't be back unless they change the price structure or make the toddler area much more interesting. Also as another reviewer mentioned, they don't really do a great job of keeping the older kids out of the toddler area. Several times older kids around 5 or 6 came tuning over almost barreling over some of the toddlers.

Q: First time visit....I had two things on the menu. - the chicken satay appetizer - pad thai the chicken was just ok, but it the peanut sauce had the flavor and consistency of peanut butter heated in oil. As for the pad thai, i'm not one of those pad thai snobs who went to phuket on vacation and now no Americanized pad thai is good enough for me. having said that, i was not impressed at all with the pad thai here. a big pile of noodles with little or no flavor except a sweetness that had a hint of the sauteed peanut butter from the chicken satay. the chicken was flavorless clumps as were the tofu. despite the bean sprouts, oily peanut clumps, etc, it was devoid of a variety in texture. I usually enjoy the the cool bean sprouts, the crunch of ground peanuts, the way the egg and tofu saturate with flavor, the acid and spice of lime/tamarind/pepper. ALL OF THIS was missing from this meal. $19 later, very disappointed since this was the highest rated thai restaurant in the area. despite this, will not be going back. Pad Thai is supposed to be the signature thai dish. I mean, it has thai in the name. if you can't do that right........?
