A: This place was surprisingly great! I came for the first time with a friend Saturday evening around 6pm, there was only a couple other people in the establishment. The interior of the place is designed with bikes, artwork of bikes and they utilized bicycle parts to decorate, which even if you're not a bike ride, it's pretty neat. It was bright and colorful, which made me feel all the more comfortable. Our server was very nice and amicable, she allowed us to take our time and answered our questions. The menu is mostly vegetarian-based (seitan, tofu, soy, etc), but there are other options (chicken) so it can appeal to most people. I ended up getting the Alley Cat, which was sweet chili soy tossed seitan pieces in a wrap with lettuce, carrots, and provolone cheese. All sandwiches and burgers (veggie, turkey, or ground beef) typically come with fries, or you can do o-rings or a side salad for a little extra. Everything was very good, well-cooked. I'm not a vegetarian, nor am I familiar with meatless (meat replacement) products, but I was pleased. As for my drink, I ended up getting a Double Chocolate Stout on tap. The beer comes off as slightly bitter, but you really taste the chocolate after. I'm a dark beer drinker, so this was prime for me haha. As for location, it's in Southside between 25th and 26th street, which is actually that limbo spot in between SS Works and college kid central SS. That being said, parking is not difficult, you could park in Works and walk, not far at all. It always meant that it was never insanely crowded, which was a nice plus. I will be back again!

A: Being Las Vegas locals, when my family comes to visit they love staying at the Palazzo or Venetian. Beautiful rooms and views, this place always exceeds their expectations. This past time my family's room was not quite ready, and our front desk agent in VIP was so nice in calling us when the room was finished (only 10-15 minutes later). He said he would happily give us a room that was ready immediately, but the one that was being held for us was on the 48th floor and had a spectacular view. He was right. It was worth the wait. Another great addition is the Juice Farm inside the casino. So nice to have healthy options and fresh, organic cold-pressed juice even when you travel. With so much of Vegas being about excess and gluttony, it is nice and refreshing to have a healthy alternative.

Q: negative

A: If only it was all about the food. First the decor here felt cheesy with black patent bejeweled tufted sofas. Perhaps my initial reaction was because I was expecting something that felt more authentic to the vibe of nearby bar bistro and artisan, but I digress. Given my less than enthused reaction to the decor, I was open to give this place a chance. However a few highlights: 1. Our server did not know the menu. We asked him about multiple dishes and he just read the description back to us. 2. We made two requests with our meal and the server forgot both changes. 3. Even though the above requests weren't met, the food was good. I had the skirt steak salad and it was perfectly cooked. The brussels sprouts were tasty and my friend loved the tomato soup. 4. I'm too old for club music at dinner. I just wanted a nice dinner with friends and we ended up talking over each other. 5. It was really hot inside. I think they had opened the area between the bar and outside which made the restaurant really warm and uncomfortable. 6. Finally, I can handle loud music and cheesy decor when the food is yummy, but the service ruined it for me. It took too long to place our order, receive our first round of drinks and close out the bill. Yes, the food is good, but the server was one of the most inexperienced waiters that I have encountered in a long time. PS: They misspelled brussels sprouts on their menu. Spelling matters.
