A: I've been here a couple times before hand, but lately it hasn't been what it was when it first opened. I went with my dad at my last visit. We both have the same taste in food so i thought he might be able to help me review this place. We ended up ordering 2 miso Ramen, as they contain the least amount of sodium, and we both were surprised at how they could end up making this one of the SALTEST broths we'd both ever tasted.. the worst part about it was it wasn't even ramen noodles.. it was the type of noodles they use in Chinese pan fried noodles..(thin egg noodles instead of wheat noodles) which surprised both of us. I honestly wouldn't go back just because of this fact. The broths are just too darn salty...

A: As I have noted in other reviews, I am a recent transplant from Venice Beach, CA and have decided to dive right into the scene! In LA, there are tons of wonderful Ethiopian restaurants to choose from, so I have been checking out what Las Vegas has to offer. I began my journey at Meskerem last week (see my review) and decided to check this place out. I read a post ( don't think it was on Yelp) that said that Cottage Cafe was better than the spots in Little Ethiopia in LA. That's a bold statement! Needless to say, I had to see what the hot fuss was about. I called my order in as I know that Ethiopian joints can some times have service that is SSSSLLLLLLOOOOOWWWWW! I placed an order for the vegetarian combination and the lamb stew. An order like this from most Ethiopian restaurants is typically enough food for me to make into about 6 meals. Perfect as I do not want to cook in 105 degree weather! The first woman who answered had to get someone else to take my order as she could not understand the simple phrase, "I'd like to place an order to go".... Anyway, I ordered (with a bit of apprehension) and proceeded to head over thinking that surely my food would be ready by the time I got there. I live in Green Valley and the restaurant is around the corner from UNLV. You would think that that would be enough time.... Of course there were no customers in the place when I got there (about 9 pm on a Thursday night) and the chicks behind the bar looked put out to have a paying customer walk in the door. When I said that I was there to pick up my order, one frowned up at me and asked what it was and proceeded to write out the ticket and take it back to the kitchen. HELLO! The point of calling it in was so that it would be placed and ready for me to pick up! The other chick never said a word and just disappeared into the back somewhere! Wow! After standing at the bar and watching an episode of Real Housewives of NY on their big screen TV, I finally got my order. Long story short, for $23 bucks, I was expecting more food, more flavor, and some form of service ( a simple 'Hello" would have been nice)! When I got home I was pretty disappointed. The portions of veggies were way smaller than I am accustomed to, and the lamb was way dry. Unlike one reviewer, I know it was definitely lamb (not dog or cat meat like he said---tee hee hee :-)), but the bone to meat ratio was pretty high and I had to add my own Ethiopian spices to it! Don't know how anyone could give this place more than 1 star, but I would avoid this place at all costs! Never again will I return. For the first time in my life, I am NOT looking forward to the left over Ethiopian chilling in my fridge. Being tipsy helped it go down okay last night. Might have to try that again for the remainder!

Answer: I had heard that Duncan Donuts had revamped and opened a new location at Baseline and Stapley. We love donuts and decided to give them a go. We had intended to go through the drive thru and upon arriving realized there were no pictures of donuts or choices on the drive thru menu, there were sandwiches, bagels, etc...and only one picture of an "Express Donuts" which is a pre-sorted selection that Duncan Donuts chooses for you. The girl came on the speaker and I told her I would like a dozen, and she said "An Express Dozen", I said, no I would like to choose them, and she said I couldn't do that at the drive thru window. I was flabbergasted...a Donut Store that doesn't let you choose donuts at the window...so I asked her if I could come inside and choose my dozen and she said yes. So we parked and went inside...There was one couple ahead of us, who moved out of the way quickly, so we came up to the counter. Now my first complaint would be, is that the donuts are displayed behind the counter, behind the people, so you have to crane your neck around to even see what is available, instead of nicely displayed upfront in a case where you can see them. As we were standing at the counter, a teenager stood there, but said nothing and eventually he just walked away. There were no less than 10 employees standing around and a manager, and not one of them walked up to me and asked me what I wanted to order...Eventually a kid came up and told the previous customer they were out of "Vanilla Bean" and did he want strawberry or something else...or something like that, the guy declined and wanted to cancel his order...a manager starting messing with the register, and still, nobody was waiting on us at the other register...finally a kid said..."just a second". I noticed in the case behind the employees, I could not see Boston Creme donuts which is what we really wanted. We stood for several more minutes, still nobody waited on us....so I said "excuse me, do you have any Boston Creme donuts"? The kid said no...I even overheard two teenagers who were saying, if they were out of something for the Express order, just grab two other donuts and throw them in there...no lie...you don't get to choose, particularly if you are going thru the drive thru. I have never seen a more ridiculous set up, business model, inept management in all my life. They lost us...one visit, we are done...we drove all the way back to Superstition Springs to go to Krispy Kremes, where we were immediately waited on with a huge selection to choose from... I give Duncan Donuts new location less than a year to fold...and it will be their own fault.

Output: Cornish Pasty is one of my favorite places for lunch when I have the extra time and even better when we are able to spring for a beer. There is something for everyone on the menu here. I have tried a variety of their pasty's, but lately I've been stuck on the chicken portobello pasty. So good and the pasty crust is delectable. At some point I'd like to try a dessert pasty, but that might have to be a special trip. The only small negative to this place is that the service can sometimes be slow. Also, note that it's pretty dark inside, so if you're with people who like a lot of light to read the menu this is not the place. They've increased the seating a lot, so it usually isn't hard to find a table, but it's usually pretty busy.

A:
Over priced for portion size. Good luck actually tasting the guacamole in their food. Also look out for cold food, half way through my carne asada burro was cold. I will say that they did replace it. Otherwise the taste of the food is great.
