A: I went to Nova's today with a friend of mine who was visiting from out of town after we saw that 30 people were waiting in line at Zada Jane's. Having just moved here, I had high hopes that Nova's would be the go-to bakery for me. However, I was immediately disappointed by the lack of breakfast items that they had and the fact that they didn't make birthday cakes. In fact, their displays seemed quite empty and depressing, but maybe that was because I was there on a Sunday at noon (the nice lady behind the counter informed me that they had already sold out of a few things). That said, their house coffee was quite good and the croissant I had was perfectly fine, too. I was really hoping this place would be like Alliance Bakery on Division Street in Chicago, but, alas, Nova's Bakery was nothing to write home about (worst of all, they don't even make birthday cakes!) With a little tweaking (and specialty cakes), this place could be a real gem.

Q: negative

A: I usually go to Padre Murphy's once a week and the noon service staff is great, ask for Mary as she is the best. Last night, Tuesday I went for dinner with a friend. We got our menu's and were seated in a booth. Well after fifteen minutes of waiting and waiting, I walked out and no one cared. Upon leaving I was told to have a "nice day" but I told them back that I would have liked to be served. They said "awwww" and left it like that although the Dinner Manager was standing at the bar several feet away. The bar/dining place was not full, but I guess our waitress was taking a break because everyone in our section was eating, except for us.

Q: positive

A: This is a true diamond in the rough. You wouldn't expect such a great spot from the outside, but it's all quality on the inside. Exceptional food and great atmosphere make this spot a clear win for the Coronado community.

Q: positive

A:
I stayed at IP for my 28th birthday. I was terrified of this place after reading all the negative reviews it got... (bed bugs and klepto housekeepers) But after getting there, I was pleasantly surprised... it's not that bad! The rooms were a little on the smaller side, but the balcony made up for it. The housekeeping staff were very attentive and polite. There were some things I was less than satisfied with: 1. The elevators suck! They are small, slow and rickety. We stayed on the top floor (18th), so you can imagine how much fun we had with that! 2. DO NOT EAT THE FOOD! It was literally some of the worst food I have ever eaten. And it's way over priced... Seriously, go somewhere else! The location is the best part about Imperial Palace. It is centrally located so you are within walking distance to all the major casinos. It's got an awesome daiquiri bar, the RockHouse, that is literally yards away from the front entrance. The drinks are a little spendy, but worth it. All in all, I had a great experience at Imperial Palace and would stay there again.
