A: I've only been here once, and I never plan on coming back. They do have a good selection of tasty drinks, but their customer service is horrible! We had a somewhat large party seated, but only two of us ordered anything. Because of that, the waitress took our order, told the guy behind the counter about it, and that guy started flipping a cow and yelling in Mandarin. I could totally understand what the guy was saying too, and he was on a roll as if he thought no one could tell that he was talking crap about us right in front of us!

A: I stopped by with my family to watch the Brazil v Germany soccer game as we were in a rush and leaving Vegas soon after the game. We all settled for Mexican food and the only problem was that the game wasn't on any of their TVs. After asking one of the employees, she gladly changed the channel for us. We got the deluxe nachos are a pre game appetizer. It was delicious and it works as an appetizer for 2-3 people. The shredded beff quesadillas are decent enough and the chicken soft tacos are excellent. The prices were reasonable, but not the best. My only complaint was that it took a while for the food to come out, but there were quite a few people there so it's understandable. Overall this is a great stop if you're at Circus Circus and in the mood for Mexican food.

Q: positive

A: We tried to get breakfast one morning here, and missed all the quick takeout options (1115am is past their time). We walked thru the District and remembered we had seen this place. We had the Fried Egg Sandwich - two fried eggs, on ciabatta with bacon and cheese (sorry, cannot recall). It was excellent!!

Mon dieu! If music be the food of love, then it is the sound of a French accordion playing La Vie en Rose emanating from the kitchen of Le Mouton Noir. When Jurgen D suggested French food as August's cuisine for our monthly yelp get-together dinner I was over-joyed. French cuisine is my absolute favourite, and I'm not just saying this. I have visited France more than I have England, at least twice a year as a kid, and grew up adoring foie gras, steak tartar, red meat as blue as can be, haricot vert, goutier, creamy patisserie pastries, cheese and wine. Le Mouton Noir is as close to a meal in Lyon as you'll find in Edinburgh. Whilst the word 'authentic' gets banded around a bit too much, I can't really think of any other way to describe it. French waiters, a French chef, and with real French passion for good food. The menu changes daily so you can't find it on the website. I did laugh at the fact that it deatils every option such as "lamb shank in spices with sweet potato", "duck gizzard salad with walnuts and lardons" through every meat dish and then at the very bottom there was only one veggie option, described simply as "Veggie Option". If you know French cuisine you will know they are unsympathetic to those who go sans viande. Luckily I am not of that ilk. So it was duck gizzards to start and feather steak for a main - rare. I'd never had duck gizzards before and only when going home later and googling it did I discover that they are in fact one of the few stomachs that a duck has. I was surprised. The gizzards were really delicious, and I think I had around 8 of them (that's 8 whole little duck stomachs, oops.) The steak. Oh my god. The steak. Give me a moment. When you order 'rare' in the UK it can sometimes arrive slightly pink, if you're lucky the potatoes may get stained a little red, but once or twice a 'rare' steak has been presented 'well done'. Le Mouton Noir's steak was still blue. And just... je nais ce qoui. Out of this world. It was a huge portion, and for only 12 I couldn't get over the value for both the quality and quantity. As Jurgen D has said, the chips were probably the best we've had too. It really was my best meal in a long time. I have previously given another restaurant in Edinburgh the accolade of 'Best Steak in the City'. So that I don't appear to be giving that prized title right, left and centre I hear by reclaim it and hand it over to Le Mouton Noir. I would seriously eat out here every week for a steak and glass of red. Just perfect. The ambience is wonderful too. Dark wood, fairly small inside with limited seating, candles, and of course... it's French. Perfect for a date night, but also for the table of 8 yelpers that we were. Oh and my dessert of rum prunes was killer!! I'd never eaten prunes before - turns out I like them. And also turns out that there was probably at least three shots of rum in total. I left a little merrier and tipsy after those. I have definitely found my new favourite neighbourhood eaterie. It's actually affordable for a weekly meal, but the quality is some of the best I've had.
