Q: We went on Friday, 2/15/13. Unfortunately, the highlight of the evening was the bar. We had a short wait until our table was ready, so we had a drink. The bartender was very friendly. Once seated, I opted to start with the escargots and my wife went with the onion soup. We were both pleased with our selections, good but not awe inspiring. For the main course, I selected steak roquefort and my wife opted for beef short ribs. The short ribs we very good, but the steak was mediocre at best. It was stringy and tough. I mentioned this to the server, and she told me, "that is the type of steak it is". I wasn't expecting dry aged prime beef for my $25, but I wasn't expecting it to be on par with Applebees either. However, the real reason for the two star rating was dessert. I abstained, but my wife choose the bananas foster. The server smiled and went on her way, (important point later). Shortly thereafter a plate was delivered to our table was somewhat resembled a banana foster, but just somewhat. My wife remained positive, only stating, "I guess its not flambe". On her first bite she gave me a disgusted look and said it was cold, all of it was cold, including the sauce. I tried the sauce and it was shocked. It was a cold, thin caramel sauce. No liqueur or rum and it wasn't even room temperature, but COLD. UGH. I stopped a manager and told him about the dessert. He responded that that is how they prepare the dish and that it couldn't be 'warm', since it contained ice cream. Really, even Dairy Queen can pull off a hot fudge sundae!? I said that we've had the dish several times, but have never had it cold and most often is it prepared flambe. He then went on to say that it was ILLEGAL to do tableside flambe in Las Vegas. He asked if we remembered the MGM, (now Ballys) fire and said that the fire was caused by a tableside flambe and since then no Las Vegas restaurant can do it. WTF!? This is a flat LIE. The fire was caused by an electrical problem and exacerbated by construction that allowed the fire to travel rapidly through the ceiling before even being noticed. My wife and I have have (and seen) tableside flambe at Las Vegas restaurants, so this too is a lie. Needless to say, I didn't waste my time arguing with such a dishonest person. I told him to take the dessert back, remove it from our tab and have the check delivered so we could settle up and leave. When she brought the bill, our server apologized that we weren't happy with our dessert and said, "this happens, people are used to it being prepared differently". WHAT?! Why didn't she advise us of this when we ordered the dish? Very disappointing.

Q: Hand down the best restaurant in N. Las Vegas. Our server, Mo, is always very friendly and attentive. You can't go wrong with the macaroni and cheese and the asparagus for sides, and the wedge and goat cheese/beet salads are delicious! I usually order a filet (great!), although one time I did order the chicken and dumplings, but go ahead and skip those, they weren't anything to write home about. Tip: Go ahead and order extra pretzel bread before they even set the bread basket down, you'll probably eat your weight in it.

Q: Stayed 5 nights 10/29-11/2 in a 1 bedroom suite. We stayed here because we had booked rooms at the Monte Carlo (for almost double the rate) when I got a phone call and was offered a great rate plus comps in exchange for attending a 1.5 hour 'tour of the property' at the same time we were already going to be in Vegas.....cancelled Monte Carlo, hello Hilton! Pros: -Great rate -Comfy bed, lots of pillows -Nice pool area -Friendly, helpful staff (AT HOTEL, not on phone) -Free parking with easy in and outs -Easy taxi service, never waited more than 5 minutes Cons: -Just received a phone call questioning my eligibility for the special rate AFTER our stay. I shut that woman down quick, what was she going to do? Charge me full price AFTER we've left?? Ridiculous, rude and insulting. -Lady who booked my reservation screwed up, had to spend total of 2.5 hours on the phone with these people to get what we needed (what we had originally worked out with the first lady) -'Tour of the property' really means high pressure sales pitch. They act as if you have come there because you already know you want to buy the timeshare (yeah right!) -Room was nice, but I have stayed in much nicer suites, I also toured the penthouse, and it was nothing special...at ALL Overall, I enjoyed my stay and if I was my boyfriend (and didn't have to deal with these annoying, rude booking agents for hours of my life) I would have given it at least 4 stars

Q: Well, let me start by saying that me and a few of the girls in my bday party decided to go to Serendipity on a whim. I was starving and it was literally one of the first places besides Margaritaville that I saw. It was way too early, at 11:30am, for margaritas (although I know it's Vegas--I had my share the night before), so we went to Serendipity. It looked cute and I thought they were serving brunch (it was Friday). Anyway, we go in and the front is packed, but when we came through the back way there seemed to be a ton of seating available. We were told that the wait would be 30 to 40 minutes. We decided to wait. Anywho, about an hour later we were pretty annoyed so we went inside to check our status. We were told we were coming up next, yet about four other parties or so were seated ahead of us. We basically waited another 20 minutes. At this point I'm beyond annoyed (did I mention it was my 30 bday and I was nursing a slight headache so the fact that I had no food was turning me into a beast?). We are finally seated and it takes a little while to order our food, and then forever to get it. Turns out that they didn't have brunch so I had to order from the lunch menu. I ordered a burger that had avocado and caramelized onions. I think it might have had some cheese on it as well...this immediately tells you how I felt about the burger. It was so tasteless and forgettable. I mean, I tried to put salt on it to bring out some flavor and it just went nowhere. I don't recommend this place. There has to be other spots that have way better food, with less wait time.
