Problem: I have heard good things about this place and it certainly looks intriguingly cool from the outside. Alas, the food and the prices were where it all fell apart. My daughter had a vegetarian risotto that was well-prepared but the portion was dinky 7.50. My husband had a cauliflower cheese that he liked but it was not anything special 7.50. I ordered a fish of the day. It was something called a gurnard. This came entire on a plate. Was very bony and had some small worms we discovered after I ate what I could of it. I cannot say I enjoyed this thing, however sustainable a choice of fish it may be. It came with cooked, curly kale, minted peas and a dollop of potatoes which were okay. 12.95. My youngest asked for her usual, plain, buttered pasta. This was fine but they charged 4.95 for this until we mentioned how unfair that seemed. To their credit, they removed it from the bill. All the same. Our bill was over 40 with the drinks and we came away somewhat unsatisfied. A shame. There are clearly some good cooks in the kitchen but portion sizes on the big meat dishes we saw go by were immense compared to what the vegetarians were offered. It seemed punitive in a way. Not sure I will try it again, even though the atmosphere was rather nice. Oh well.

Problem: It's been quite some time since I've eaten a meal at a Cheesecake Factory. I was taken out to dinner here to enjoy my first "real" meal after being on a very strict protein-and-pretty-much-nothing-else diet for the past two months. I didn't know what to order and ended up getting spaghetti and meat sauce. I wasn't really a fan. It was too sour and there wasn't any "oomph" with the flavor in the sauce or meat. As for my date's dish, he got grilled salmon with mashed potatoes and broccoli. Definitely looked a lot more appetizing than my spaghetti. He let me try some of the salmon and mashed potatoes. Salmon was okay. Those mashed potatoes though. Oh My God. I died. My taste buds were in heaven. The butter and the texture. The underlying kick of horseradish. I could have just eaten the mashed potatoes as my dinner. He even asked if I wanted a side of mashed potatoes to go since I was so clearly enjoying myself. I should have said yes.... hah! As for dessert, I thought about getting cheesecake, but I really wanted ice cream. I hear my date say "oh my god" right before I'm greeted by a freaking goblet of chocolate ice cream with whipped cream and almonds and hot fudge. I did my happy dance while enjoying that. I do wonder if those mashed potatoes would taste different if I wasn't just coming off of a really restricted diet though. But it doesn't matter - that was a dinner date I probably won't ever forget. Haha!

Problem: Thus far, I've only been once - but I have to admit that the staff here is way friendlier than any other UPS Store or Fedex/Kinko's that I have ever been to. I have no idea what causes it, but whatever the reason, they sure do seem to enjoy their job, and that means I'll be back to do my shipping from this location rather than any other. Even better is that it's the closest to our house. Sweet.

Problem: One of those hidden gems that you just happen to stumble upon. We've been coming to Vegas for 15 years but just discovered this place about 5 years ago. Their fish and chips is one of the best I've ever had. It is 3 be huge pieces served with yummy steak fries all for under 10.00. I have never seen any fish pieces as big and thick as they are here, it's the one thing we come back for year after year. I highly recommend the fish and their club sandwich have as well. Two items not to be missed!
