Problem: My girlfriend and I were lucky enough to dine at Joel Robuchon in June this year. This was one of the best meals that we have ever had! We went with the 14 course tasting menu, and that did not include the bread or dessert cart. While courses at restaurants like this tend to be small most courses were larger than a single bite or two. After course eight I started to tear up because I was so sad that I was stuffed and couldn't enjoy the last few courses. There is amazing selection of both bread and chocolates that it is very tempting to fill up on that alone. The bread cart here was spectacular, better than L2O (Chicago) and Guy Savoy (Vegas). As for the specifics, most courses ranged from good to excellent. The best dish that I ever had was during this tasting and that was the butter poached lobster ravioli topped with truffle and cabbage. I could have eaten a plateful of them. One other course that stood out was the cold cauliflower puree with caviar. The only real miss was the first course that was tomatoes two different ways. That probably comes more to personal preference. For future diners if you do choose the 14 course tasting menu and there is a dish that doesn't strike your fancy you should leave a bit of it. There is plenty of food to come so you won't leave hungry. Worst case you can take a bit more off the bread or dessert cart. It does seem like a waste when you are spending that much money on a meal but personally I would have enjoyed the last few dishes more if I wasn't already full.

Problem: My order was completely wrong. I have no idea how I order a build your own breakfast crepe, list all of the items I want in my breakfast and end up with the breakfast burrito? The waitress was writing for a while when I ordered and I thought she just wasn't short-hand writing my order which is unusual.. I have no idea what she was writing because when my order came out wrong she showed me the order she had written down (like that solved anything) and all that was written was 'burro'. I had to ask 'so when I said I would like to build my crepe and listed off mushrooms, spinach, ham and onions you heard burrito?' (which obviously has none of those ingredients) her response was 'well, that's what everyone orders'. Are you kidding me???? Anyway, I ate the burrito because I didn't want to wait another 20 minutes for my food. it was actually really good I can see why other people order it but I was really craving mushrooms. #dayruiner

Problem: This is for the Hyundai on the east side. In my quest to find my son's first car, we liked an Accent on their showroom floor. My son put down what the salesman requested to hold the vehicle, as well as provide all the financial documentation needed. After a couple of days I called the dealership and the salesman told me that everything was okay and we could pick up the car at any time. We came in that evening only to see the vehicle still on the showroom floor. The salesman tried to tell me that was standard procedure. Next thing I knew, the finance guy is talking to me asking for more financial information and a bigger down payment! We were told earlier that day that they had all they needed and my son qualified for the loan. We were set up. We immediately demanded his earnest money back and we walked! We will never go to Hyundai again. Worst car sales experience ever. My son really likes his brand new Kia Rio!

Problem: Did you ever want to try a new restaurant that was rated pretty well and found out that you should whip out the ol' Blackberry and log onto the site just to heave the thing across the room in the hopes of watching the communicative device shatter into a glorious spectacle of plastic and debris? Well this was the case in the following review I'm about to "drop" on you! The wife read about Chang's Hong Kong Cuisine that a "Yelper" had reviewed. We were planning a trip to Vegas and figured that we would try something different, as opposed to the usual buffets that we would normally head straight for. Innocently enough, we made a B-Line straight to Chang's once we arrived in Vegas and was anticipating a decent Dim Sum experience. Once we got there, we were left standing in the Foyer for a few minutes. During this time, I noticed that one of the servers arrived late from behind us and hadn't had the chance to clock in before she sat us. I just found that kinda funny and thought I would share this with you! =) As the Brunch progressed, the wife got really tiffed because the best Chinese team, in terms of timing and follow-through, in the Dim Sum industry decided that they would all take the day off and allow the lack-luster, slow, and incompetent crew work a solid day. Whoa is me! Service was slow, our tea order was really late, the food was sub-par, and most of all, my hot chili sauce was late! I loves me some hot chili sauce with my Dim Sum dumplins! I think that the highlight of our experience was when my wife finally threw in the towel and flagged down a Chinese lady and berated her with God knows what! I couldn't tell you what she said but service surely improved from that point on! God I love feisty Chinese women! The Dim Sum itself was not memorable and the chicken feet were like the worst things because it tasted breaded before braising. It felt and tasted gummy. The prices were great and its location was easy to find! It wasn't tucked in the corner of some sleezy shopping plaza that may be impossible to get into or out--to! The final note from me is that, all in all, I will not go out of my way to come back here. I think the only way I would is if a friend clocked me over the head with a baseball bat (preferably metal..my head might shatter a wooden one then I'll be left cleaning the bits of splintered wood from the carpet with a headache! Who wants that?!) and bribe the paramedics to drop us off here rather than the Hospital. Maybe this way I wouldn't mind the mediocre tasting food, but I'd probably bleed out before I get my chili sauce! =(
